I took my son here to attend the informational/sales pitch, not to listen to a guy childishly insert his viewpoints to perfect strangers for four hours. What we heard, spoiled rich kid example name Gavin (wow, clever). Planes are like women, if you beat them up a little just stroke them and sprinkle perfume on them and they'll be fine. The less fuel the lighter the plane, I try to get my girlfriend to understand this. Keep it neutral like trump did with North Korea, when he stopped the fighting (ummmm, what fighting?) You need a background check for your pilots license, so no antifa records. They stopped naming the planes after indians, I don't know some silly reason. We get it, you love trump (the ultimate spoiled child). We aren't here for juvenile references or political innuendos. We don't need to listen to this or pay for it. Keep it to yourself.

I searched online for instructors in San Diego and came across Fly The Wing. After just a few lessons with Garry, he instilled the confidence and trust in me to solo away from the airport and I was off practicing maneuvers. A couple weeks later I was doing my cross-country solos, and in a couple more I passed my check ride. I could tell that he was more interested in training me to be a pilot than seeing how much he could get out of my wallet. Garry will make you think practically about everything you do in the plane. He doesn't just teach you to fly; he trains you to be a pilot. Lessons can be recorded and you can take the video home to review. This was immensely helpful! Stop throwing your money away at big-name schools/clubs, and learn to fly the wing!

Provectus Aviation is the best of the best when it comes to flight training in San Diego County…read more Each of the instructors I worked with was highly knowledgeable in the classroom and in each aircraft type. The organization's well-designed curriculums were specifically aligned with my aviation goals and were accelerated to fit into my unique schedule. I was able to achieve both my CFI certificate and Multi-Engine ratings in a very concentrated period of time. I am already planning future trainings with them as their skill level in education, safety and hands-on instruction is unsurpassed. Many times the Provectus Team went above and beyond the scope of duty exceeding all my expectations. As such I highly recommend their elite training courses!

Hi Johan, I want to…read morethank you for telling the public my personal story. Don't worry about deleting it I already took screen shots. Your passive aggressive response speaks volumes of the character of SAA and it's Employees. Allow me to give you a lesson. When you buy a business and rename it, relocate, hire new management, or a period of years go by, IT'S STILL THE SAME FREAKING BUSINESS! Even your own website says you have been training pilots since 2000. I find it interesting that when you do a quick search on the FAA website for SAA International you get nothing. When you search for Scandinavian Aviation Academy Inc, you get the SAA international address and phone number. It must be a terrible coincidence. I'll call them tomorrow morning and notify them of the computer glitch. Also, don't act like you did some spectacular search for my file. When I called Scandinavian or SAA or whatever fake business name you are operating under to finish my program I had to send all my paperwork because you "lost" it. The owner said I could come back and start training until I asked for a refund and then he acted like it was a different school. Your last response has moved me to start picketing outside the School. I wonder how the story will look on the news?

With some of the best Chief Flight Instructors in this city, we believe owner Chris Sluka runs a 5-star flight school with their company-owned fleet of planes. Don't go with any flight school that requires you to join a club where the instructors have to rent out the planes just to give a flight lesson. We had erroneously done that first, which was a big mistake. Once we quickly changed over to Learn to Fly San Diego, flight scheduling was easier and we trusted every decision the CFIs made to ensure our son was safe in the air and knowledgeable on the ground. THANK YOU Learn to Fly San Diego. You really were the best flight school for our son and our family and we highly recommend them. ltfsd.com

Contrary to other reviews, the pilot came right on time for my son's scheduled appt. Joe was his pilot. Joe was very professional and patient. He taught my son a lot during the ground training and he gave my son a lot of hands on opportunity during the flight. I was able to join them during the flight and while up In the air Joe would tell us what part of san diego we were at just like a tour guide. I thought that was really nice of him. After we landed, Joe was gracious enough to take photos with my son! Will definitely come back for another round!

Went to the school to file a complaint against a employee for texting me to "grow up" because i…read morehung up on him since i was at work. Arrived at the school and before i could put a name to the face he actually greeted me and was cool but once i stated my name and told him it was me you were texting that he was super unprofessional and he should not talk to people/future students that way if i answer fine if not im busy and BUDDY WAS READY TO FIGHT. I said i need to talk to a higher up to file a complaint and he said he was the highest in the building and that we can talk. As we are conversating he became more agitated and started stepping up to me and telling me to be a "man" and then guided me to a empty classroom to talk behind closed doors. I said ABSOLUTELY NOT with the way he has been aggressive and essentially baiting me into an altercation. I stated i wanted a 3rd party there due to the tense situation he was creating. He then guided me to the welding area and pulled the welding teacher aside infront of students and started again saying be a man and say what you have to say and again i said i need someone thats in a high position i need to do some type of formal complaint and know its been acknowledged. Whole time the man was swaying back and forth belittling me and just asking for a fight which was not my intentions at all. The welding teacher was completely clueless and wasnt understanding what was even going on. At that point i just asked who can hell me file a complaing because this guy is extremely upset and wanting a altercation and i was directed to an office. In thay office a nice lady helped me and immediately stood up when she heard what i was trying to explain. Whole time the man was there being aggressive and still approaching me trying to coax me into doing something. The lady noticed that and quickly got me the Director of Operations even tho the man lied and said hes the highest in the building. As i was waiting the man and i were going back and forth and bickering and ultimately just displays his unprofessionalism and lack of control. He denied it was him that texted me even though he answered when i called the number with the unprofessional text message, he lied saying i came in making noise when he greeted me and i simply asked if he was who i think he is, he lied saying i went to the welding area disturbing them when he guided me there. All that for a simple text he should not have sent but he thought it was okay to do that. Never did i go with intentions for an altercation. I felt if he felt like he can just send a text like that as an employee to a possible student he clearly doesnt respect people as he should especially being in the front greeting people onna daily. I was disrespected and be littled being called less than a man and out of my name but none of it bothered me as i am confident in myself as a man, father and veteran. Moral of the story if you lose your temper as a employee and attempt to coax someone into fighting in your workplace behind closed doors theres no space for you in that establishment at all. I spoke to the director and followed the instructions he gave me to move forward and i have also submitted a complaint with BPPE. I have never been put in this situation before so i will file with whoever and wherever because this was unnecessary and someone could have been hurt or arrested.
