Dream Flight School - Cessna 172

Dream Flight School

(3 reviews)

Went to this place with a friend and bought the ticket through Groupon. This was the most…read moreexhilarating experience of my life. Even more so than skydiving. Let's start from the top. My friend and I came here and we filled out all our consent forms and gave them the Groupon code. Then they took us to the back and explained everything to us. In the plane, you basically sit shotgun while the experienced professional flies the plane into the air to a safe altitude and then they give you control. Flying the actual plane was such an amazing experience. It felt scarier than skydiving to me. The instructor let's you fly for about 20-30 minutes and then he takes you down to the location. He also lands the plane. It apparently gets added to your flight hours if you were planning on becoming licensed. This is a once in a lifetime experience that I high encourage you try. I don't regret it in the slightest and the staff here make you feel safe.

My experience at dream flight school was just what I expected. Started off with the Discovery…read moreFlight right through the Private License. Friendly staff and great Certified Flight Instructors. I highly recommend Dream Flight School if you're looking to obtain your PPL or IFR certificate. The planes used are clean and well maintained, some are even being updated with the newest technology. Additionally KDMW Airport is clean, and the Skytech staff are friendly. It's always nice to have the people fueling your planes encourage your progress -- just adds to the overall experience at Dream Flight School!

Most instructors don't really care about your personal goals. If they do, they often lack patience…read morewith someone who hasn't flown before. I went through several instructors trying to find one who would actually stick with me and help me achieve what I was paying them for. Instead, it felt like some were just trying to build hours or take control of the flight, and I ended up wasting thousands of dollars.

This is a large family owned and family run flight school with 4 locations. My background is…read morehaving ran a twin-engine flight school and a single-engine flying club in Georgia so when I surveyed the schools as a place to do my flight reviews, and send friends and their children to, AvAd came out on top. They also have been one of the main schools at Leesburg while others have come and gone. They also hire and train students and retired or career changing professionals to run the front desk, giving them aviation management and dispatch experience. I have flown with a few of the instructors up here and they are all different in how they teach but all are focused on safety, fun, learning, and promoting aviation. "Uncle Mike" is a fantastic advocate for aviation and even politely spent time going over weight and balance. I was 314 or 317 at the time and made it down to 270, which opened up the ability to fly other aircraft like the 172z. I made it down to 253 a few weeks ago and 230 will open up all aircraft, help me live longer, and make it easier to pass my 2nd class medical that I need for my commercial. Mike reviewed this with me very professionally, very politely, and shared his journey with me. He also took my son for a lesson. You would be hard pressed to find a better instructor, human being, safety, and aviation advocate. Safety is always at the top of my list because mistakes in aviation can be very unforgiving. You can fly safely in safe aircraft and still have fun. My favorite instructors are "Uncle Mike" and Mitch. However, I have also really enjoyed time learning from Bob, Ray and past instructors. Buck left for OpenAir, Dan went to fly KingAirs and Connor went to fly Learjets. This is part of aviation. Instructors are hard to find and good instructors are Unicorns. AvAd has had quite a few unicorns and some remain! Eventually they will build their 1000 hours with a degree from Liberty and go to the airlines with their ATP-R or get their 1500 and move on. That's just how aviation goes during a strong economy. Their aircraft are well maintained, particularly for flight school aircraft. I really enjoy flying the 182, the Cherokee Six, and the Grumman Cougar but also dropped weight so I could fly safely within the weight and balance envelope in the 172. My goal is to drop enough weight to fly LSAs like the 162 for fun! Bob and his family are amazing for aviation and have stellar employees and nice aircraft.

I am impressed by Dir/Ops but not at all by one of their instructors. The owner is really nice and…read moreI understand that he has to support his instructor, even if that instructor was wrong. That instructor's unfamiliarity with several of the FARs was disappointing. Eventually I went over to two other schools on the field and they would provide instruction. I have nearly 800 flight hours and they would not fly with me because my 3rd class medical had expired. You do not need a medical, current or otherwise, to receive instruction. Additionally, to fly UAS (drones) or Light Sport (LSA) using private pilot privileges, you do not need a current medical, only a flight review. There is nothing in the FARs that requires a medical for a flight review. However, it is required to exercise the privileges as a pilot in command of a standard category, LSA, or UAS. If you are flying standard category aircraft you need the medical. I had contacted the FSDO (FAA) and AOPA Pilot Protection program to confirm and the instructor would still not fly with me or do my flight review. I did get FAA and AOPA legal interpretation of the FARs. This wasn't a disagreement over the insurance or the preference of the instructor BUT over the FARs, which P--- should have known. Understandably, the school has to support their instructor even if they are wrong. They would not allow me to fly their aircraft or with their instructors. I walked to two other schools on the field, talked to their instructors, and have flown with 4 of the instructors at those other schools. This is an older review (~2 years) that disappeared. If the Dir/Ops wasn't nice it would be 0 stars if I could.

I've had a terrific experience getting my PPL with Aero Elite. They have a great group of very…read moreskilled instructors that truly seem to to have your best interest at heart. I trained and flew out of their Friendly, MD location, Potomac Airfield (KVKX). It's a great airport with a real sense of camaraderie amongst the staff and pilot community. I can highly recommend them without reservation!
