Poor experience with their FIRC…read more Due to a mistake by American flyers, I haven't gotten my new CFI license after finishing their FICR course and paying for the hasse free experience for over 4 months now. When contacting the customer service, I consistently received only minimal, one-word responses. These replies often contradicted previous information and failed to offer any helpful resolution. This forced me to send numerous emails and place repeated phone calls, prolonging the matter unnecessarily. Several times they told me to contact the FAA, and each time the FAA told me that the issue is that American flyers hadn't submitted all requirements documents. I didn't receive any help until writing this review and filling a BBB complaint. And even then, they were still blaming me and trying to make me feel bad about contacting the customer support too often?!? Based one experience and the numerous complaints from other customer, I wouldn't recommend to purchase any services from this business.

Started the flight, pilot was very nice and everything was looking great. Then when we got to the end of the runway one of the spark plugs was not firing. So we turned back around and was told we have to reschedule. Thats not where the bad review comes in, we understood things happen and safety is the priority. Were told we would get a refund and a free flight. After a delay getting a refund we tried scheduling a flight and was ignored after that. Its been 2 months and no flight. No customer service and I'm the only one reaching out and not getting responses.

DO NOT LEARN TO FLY HERE!!! You've been warned. If you…read morealready know how to fly and you just need a quick pilot certificate for cheap then this may be a good place to obtain that. But, if you are like me and trying to have a career in aviation do not make the mistake of trying to get it done quick for cheap! You do NOT get sufficient training in order to fly safely by yourself. I was scared shitless the entire time because I was basically learning almost everything IN the airplane. Sounds great but it's the opposite. You should always get ground school done FIRST and then go in the airplane and demonstrate what you've learned. Do yourself a favor and avoid this sketchy place and spend the extra money to get your License and do it the right way. They are not professional about anything. They do a couple minutes of ground school if they feel like it. The owner is never there. There is rarely people at the front desk to answer questions and whatnot. Nobody acts like they give a shit about your actual training there, just taking your money and building their own hours. Since I have to give it at least a star I'll give it that I guess. NOT WORTH IT, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. THE BARE MINIMUM of everything.
