Dealing with this flight school has been the absolute worst experience of my life. I wanted to…read morelearn to fly, but I now wish I never stepped foot at this place. I began in March 2020 and notified them in July 2021 I was withdrawing from school and need my loan refunded. it's now been close to 18 months and I have received only 2 partial refunds during that time that have still not added up to my total amount. I have a signed contract with the company stating this would all occur within a month. The CEO, who lives in Singapore, lies and lies and lies and lies to me in every email that he's "gracious" enough to reply to. It typically takes anywhere from 3-5 emails for him to reply to one. How any company puts the CEO in charge of refunds is incredible. Please review the Better Business Bureau website, before you choose to do business with these crooks. There are numerous other examples of people waiting extensively on refunds. They have said they will cover all the interest that has accrued on my loan since I notified them almost 18 months ago, but I have my doubts. Better to save your time, and immediately send them a letter from a lawyer.

Very bad experience to get an aircraft check out at this place. I just sold my 2022 Cessna 182 and…read morewanted to rent airplane to stay current. I got instructor Tylor who failed to do proper procedures/aircraft briefing and I had to file complaint with the office. The office used it against me despite having all the facts/witness presented to them regarding what happened. I have brought all the problems I encountered with instructor to the office attention , but the office would not look in to the instructor and decided to blame me customer/pilot . . (With over 700 hours total flight time). If you will have a problem with this school don't dare to speak up because you be the blame and it will be used against you :( I did have aircraft check outs done previously and instructors did proper job to make you familiar and comfortable with aircraft , but not at this school. I also asked twice to give me a call to discuss the situation and they would avoid communication and wont give me a chance with another instructor/aircraft either. Also Aircraft Cessna N904CP this school used to do the check out some of the equipment did not work at all, pilot door wont open to get out from the aircraft(HAZARD), Radio on Com2 is a problem and you cannot hear controllers or be able to communicate at all. Aircraft itself was in bad condition and I brought this to the instructor attention, he disregard it and said I failed communication. This review for people to be AWARE of this place.

It's across from the cell phone parking lot right as you enter the airport on you're right hand side. When you pull in, the parking lot needs to be fixed because there where lots of huge pot holes. If I wasn't driving the truck it would have been bad because you cant see them. So watch out if you have nice rims or in general. The instructor was already outside which was nice because he took our paperwork straight to the owner since no one was at the front desk. They took care of use right away which was nice. Someone walked in for the school side of the company and the owner finished taking care of us regardless of the fact that the man kept interrupting and trying to get his paper reviewed. I always appreciate good customer service so plus there. The building itself needs some up grades and the A/C must have been broken because it was sweaty hot in there. The tour was only suppose to be 30mins but ended up being a nice hour which was great. My husband got to fly and pretty much do everything except actually land the plane which was awesome...he loved it. I would use them again for something like this. As far as the school side I can't really say what they off but the flying tour was great!

Virgil invited me, my wife, and my son to meet with him. What impressed me was not that Virgil answered all of our questions and carefully explained everything we were getting into, but that he focused a lot of time on my son, asking him questions and probing his interest and maturity. I came away from our meeting feeling very comfortable placing the life of my son in his hands. My feelings were not misplaced. During my sons instruction, Virgil and his flight instructors were patient, personable, and thorough. Today, my son is college sophomore at LeTourneau University flight program. He is working towards his commercial license, flying on the precision flight team, and has already been hired by an airline. Austin Academy of Aviation played a big part in my sons future.

He promptly answered my emails and set up an account & appointment. Due to inclement weather, Enrique was unable to make the flight on his actual birthday but after a few emails with Jeff & Mike (his original flight instructor) they managed to move some things around and set him up the following morning with his flight. His new instructor, Xavier was awesome. He answered questions we had and truly gave my love an amazing flight, instruction & experience. The weather was beautiful and it made for an even better flight. I was so happy to hear all that my love learned and experienced before and during his flight. Thank you AAoA for such an awesome flight. We will definitely be back! I want him to get his pilots license.
