The first thing the school did was try to shed any blame off themselves by suggesting/speculating intentional pilot actions. Their airplane that crashed, N5203H, was also previously totalled in 2016 but they kept flying it anyways. If you love life and care about your loved ones, I'd avoid this school. There are plenty of other schools that won't turn their back on you if you have an accident.

One has to wonder why all of the reviews are more the 3 years old. The biggest mistake made by…read morepeople interested in getting their PPL is naivete. They don't know what to ask. Understand that less than 20% of students actually achieve their PPL. The challenges are cost, availability of instructors and planes, weather, instructor objectives, personal availability, and other minor obstacles. Instruction quality can be both lacking or superior depending on who is teaching. If your goal is to get your PPL quickly, a flight school is a bad choice. Do some research before you decide. I didn't and I've spent over 4 years, $90K, and have had 5 instructors in pursuit of my PPL. If you're not in a rush and are just curious, it will work for you. It isn't easy and requires commitment. Get some guidance and explore the alternatives. Instructors have to complete your training and sign you off for your check ride. If they leave for better opportunities, you have to start over. At $300 and hour for rental and instructor cost, it gets expensive fast.

He writes detailed feedback on what went well and what to work on for every flight.

All of the instructors I've met are really nice and experienced. In particular, I would like to give a special shoutout to Nitin, who was my CFI on the discovery flight. He provided excellent instructor "service", explaining every concept and question with a calm, reassuring, thorough, and humorous flair. I felt a very tight camaraderie between everyone at Nice Air. All of the staff sincerely cares about providing a positive and supportive environment for each other and, most importantly, their students. The level of encouragement and support truly stood out to me. Flying is certainly expensive, but I'd be hard-pressed to find a place that nails both quality and affordability as this. I'd definitely consider pursuing lessons here in the future. This place may be called Nice Air, but if they ever needed to be renamed in the future, Superb Air is an apt choice.

I stopped there today and spoke with Nick about the club and what it means to be a member. Nick tells me that when someone wants to learn to fly they can take lessons from instructors at the airport. In addition, there's a small lounge that you can use to take a little break in. When I was there today I picked up a magazine that was titled, "Learn to Fly!" It was full of information about airplanes and different courses that you can take to become a pilot. Generally the cost is anywhere from $50-$70 per hour. And it takes anywhere from 60 to 100 hours to learn to fly a small plane. Once a year this flying club has a special Saturday where they are open to the public and they provide flights and more information about the services they offer. If you want to become a pilot... I think this is your first stop in San Jose! The people are wonderful and friendly and the services they offer are awesome! Take some time on the weekend and go check them out. You never know... You might find a new passion in flying small airplanes! And when you go there... Tell them Karen sent you and you read about them on yelp!
