    I'd like to start off by mentioning I am not a student here, but my boyfriend is. I was able to join him for a flight demo and that was incredible. He's been flying here since January and his instructor Cyle is awesome! My boyfriend always comes home happy with videos and pictures of his experience. So much so, that he makes ME want to come fly here! Based off of his experience, I would recommend coming here.

    Me getting my commercial license.

    I started my flying journey over 4 years ago with SoCal Flying Club. All of the instructors are knowledgeable and work with your schedule to help you complete your ratings. I just received my commercial license with CFII Mike Marchand, former FAA guy and a really good instructor. Monica and Evan at the front desk really make you feel welcome.

    Diamond Star DA40 Planes are super nice and clean, and many of them newer with g1000 avionics, easy rental experience. Everything's organized if you need oil, headsets, or life jackets for your particular trip. El Monte is a great small airport in Los Angeles to fly in and out of. SoCal Flying club also has the best rates I've seen for Diamond Star aircraft. Highly recommended!

    Customer service was great and Steven was an awesome instructor. We flew for 1 hr and went around the LA area to see landmarks and key locations. I would highly recommend to others.

    SoCal Flying Club is the best flight school! All the planes are well maintained and this flight school has the best instructors you could ask for! 100% recommend for anyone wanting to learn to fly or to continue your training!

From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses, tailoring his instruction to ensure I fully grasped every concept and could safely perform all maneuvers. He never rushed the process and made sure I was fully prepared before allowing me to solo. Patrick was always patient, thorough, and supportive. He answered all my questions, addressed any doubts I had, and guided me through every step of my training--including preparing me for my checkride. Thanks to his dedication, I am now a Private Pilot! If you're just starting out and unsure where to go for flight training, I highly recommend Patrick. He is certified to train pilots at all levels and is truly committed to his students' safety and success! If you're looking for a knowledgeable and patient instructor who puts safety and learning first, Patrick is the one to train with!
