Awesome place to get flight lessons!! I recently received my Private Pilot License for Single…read moreEngine Land on December 16, 2018!! My first instructor was nice but left to fly for the airlines for about 6 months into my training. I then flew off and on for about two years while I work at a job that unfortunately took most of my time away from flying and found a new instructor to replace him. On April 30th of 2018, I started working at Pensacola Aviation Center next door, and in December after four long years, I finally received my Pilot License. My advice to anyone taking or thinking of taking lessons... 1) Cost: Figure out what you want to accomplish and set a goal. 2) Save: Once you decide what you want to do, start saving money. 3) Wait: Wait until you have at least 90% of your money saved before starting your pilot training. 4) Time: Set a weekly or monthly goal of how much you want to fly, however, I would recommend flying as much as possible to avoid losing any skill and having to relearn them over again as I had to do. Otherwise, I wish everyone that flying safety and the best in Aviation!!!

I am a flight instructor and trained at skywarrior inc. for my ATP. This flight school is about the…read moremost dysfunctional place I have ever came across. The first flight instructor I was given didn't have a clue where to find the airworthiness or the registration for the aircraft, turns out they were on the aft bulkhead which was discovered after almost a half an hour search. I insisted I would not fly the aircraft without seeing the required documents meanwhile he was trying to assure me that the aircraft was airworthy. That should have been my first clue to not walk but RUN! I instead elected to stick around and just bang it out but I soon find that first and foremost there is no real preflight or post flight briefing. It is up to you to schedule yourself for your next training evolution and as I pointed out there is no post flight so after your lesson basically you're left to your own devices as far as what to do or what needs attention. The communication between the instructor and myself was lacking but strangest of all was that the staff doesn't keep a log of anything. When I terminated my training with skywarrior inc. they could not provide me with an invoice because they never entered anything into whatever system that they track your training with. I pulled out my log book and had to give them the information to generate an invoice. Then after three days of the runaround trying to get my refund of the balance they tell me that I have 3.5 of ground???? Really when did this ground take place and with whom???? I have been to a lot of flight schools for different training and I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly but skywarrior inc. definitely takes the prize. Do yourself a favor and stay away or go cry to someone else after you get the skywarrior inc. treatment because you were warned.

I tried to like this marina. I really did. Dropped boat off in November 2023 for a new bottom paint…read morejob. The boat sat on the seawall for 8 days prior to being pulled for the work. While there it sustained fiberglass damage. I was told they are not responsible for it. After many emails later the fiberglass was repaired on 21 March 2024. The marina had my boat for 3 days. On Saturday 23 March I went to pick the boat up. While the repair job was nice, I went below which I had locked up and gave the manager the key in case of emergency. Once there I noticed someone decided to use my head and left me the nastiest mess you can imagine. Why did they feel it was necessary to leave poon my toilet? I mean cmon. This is absolutely disgusting and totally unprofessional. You can rest assured I will NEVER utilize this marina in my life.

Stay away from this place!!!! DO NOT TRUST THEM TO WORK ON YOUR BOAT!!! These mechanics cannot…read morepossibly be certified to work on Mercruiser. I took my boat there to have them run a diagnostic on it for an alarm. They called me and told me it was an oxygen sensor and they could replace it. I told them to go ahead and replace it. I wondered how they would decide which one was bad because the boat has two o2 sensors. A couple days later they called me back and said, "your boat has two oxygen sensors so we need to replace them. both". They told me they would not charge for additional labor only for the additional part. A week or so later they texted me and said they could not get to the rear sensor without taking the front motor mount off and taking the front of the engine completely apart to "try" and lower the front of the engine enough to get to the rear sensor, Or they could put a small hole in the rear of my boat to get to the sensor and repair it with a plate. Trusting they had adequate personnel who knew what they were doing I said ok. They called me approximately 3 weeks later and said my boat was ready. I asked them if they tested the boat and they said they ran the boat and everything tested out good. I picked the boat up and parked it for two weeks. I took it and put it in the water and it would not get up on plane, would not accelerate over 3000 rpm and then the alarm came back on. I did not have this issue before taking it to them. I texted the service person I had been working with, Adam, and explained the issues and ended the text with "Any Suggestion". Of course I heard nothing back from Adam. Ironically they have a large sign over the service counter with bold letters that says "Communication" is key. I guess Adam can't read because he sure didn't communicate after I just paid the nearly $400 for nothing. So now my boat is in worse shape, and Sunrise don't want to talk about it. So I called a few more Mercury dealers and found a fantastic mechanic in Alabama. I took the boat to him and explained the issues. He immediately noticed the "patch job" on my boat and said, "what the hell were they thinking." He immediately opened the engine hatch, pointed to the exhaust elbow and said all they had to do was remove four bolts and drop the elbow and the oxygen sensor is mounted to the elbow. They cut a hole in your boat for no reason.". His response did not surprise me because I wondered the same thing when they called me , but I trusted what they said as professional mechanics. The next day the mechanic called and said they (Sunrise Marine) never reset the code in the computer, so there was no way they ran the boat or tested the boat as they claimed. He stated he reset the code, ran the boat on the hose, then took it to the lake. He advised the boat ran fine. So I set up a maintenance repair replace to make sure the boat was top notch. I had him change several components like the water pumps, thermostat, etc. While he had it apart, he pulled both oxygen sensors, and showed me Sunrise only replaced one of them, although they charged me for both and told me they replaced both. Now I see this as fraud! I have taken pictures of them (one is clearly not a new sensor) and I'm going to give the manager an opportunity to make it right. We'll see how well his "Communication" is. If I don't hear from someone soon, I'll be posting the pictures of their work, and talking with the better business bureau. I should have listened to the salesman, Joe, who told me not to let them work on my boat for service because I could save a lot of money. ".
