Trey Walters, along with his second in charge Ron are whats wrong with aviation. These people at…read moreBlue Line are doing bad business. After I was there for a week and an half I opted to leave after talking to Ron about how I was so disappointed and felt unsafe, they then proceeded to take $46,000 of my $100,000 for opportunity cost... I asked why they thought that reason and Trey told me because I decided to leave due to the course being to fast... Which he then made sure no one would talk to me in the company and then took almost a year to get any refund back. lying is one thing and screwing me in the process sure is unacceptable but the real problem being that these folks are creating even worse students and instructors that compromise the integrity of the industry and taking advantage of people in the process is a more important problem and I hope someone stops them.

Amber was great to work with to get set up with financial support and any questions i had about the school she was always quick to respond and to check on me going thru the program. Sam the CFI initial instructor really goes above and beyond to help get you prepared for your CFI checkride. This is a big exam and he will stay after class and help if needed to get you where you need to be. Airplanes are top notch and very fun to fly. You learn every aspect of the airplane and learn what it takes to become a professional pilot. Only negative thing about my experience was the scheduling. I had to wait days if not weeks for checkrides. I could have finished the program about 6-7 weeks sooner. The school had people to fix this but seemed to not be able to figure out this problem. to many students not enough airplanes. But that was my only complaint. If your looking for somewhere to go for training I recommend taking a visit and seeing what they offer.

Paul is a great guy. If you want lessons from a guy who has over 18,000 hours logged, will push…read moreyour comfort limits and will NOT waste your time, go with this guy's outfit. Be forewarned he's old school (limited GPS usage and no iPads etc) and he flies older but well maintained airplanes, and it helps keep his prices more reasonable. On your check ride you won't be able to use any nav equipment other than VOR, so you'll thank yourself for the extra effort in planning XCs. Also, if you are a snowflake who can't take constructive criticism, don't go with him. Go with some other place that will patronize you while siphoning your wallet. Only thing about the guy is that his time is limited for personal and for professional reasons (he has several students and is just one man), so please do not expect to finish in a short amount of time. If you want your PPL in a month or less, contact one of the big boys near RDU or elsewhere and pony up $12k or more in a short amount of time. If you want to spend 30-50% less and have it stretched over time, go with Paul.

The instructors here are very hit and miss. If you get a good one you're going to be ok. If you get…read morea bad one you may as well have flushed your money down the drain. You don't always have a choice of instructors if the workload is busy. The facility is very nice. WIFI is included in the price of your school tuition. They have a nice simulator for learning things like how to manage an engine failure before you practice in the planes. They have three rooms for studying and test taking. Even the FAA would approve of their facility. The only knocks are that the SIM needs to update GPS system. It makes learning today's approaches, departures impossible. Also, their multi-engine planes can be older. So on occasion you deal with a plane needing maintenance. The good thing is that they typically have enough planes so you can just hop in a different one for training.

This place used to be good. It is a total gamble with instructors. You will either get someone who…read morecares about your success or someone who is just there for time build. While this may be obvious, you would expect there to at least be a preflight, the flight and a nice debrief after. You would also expect a CFII to show up to a scheduled flight simulator to critique you and go over your weaknesses. There is practically no ground school whatsoever. I was given nothing besides a flight and a few notes online. No preflight whatsoever. This program is a lot more disorganized than it used to be at this location and many of the current students would agree. There have been various times when I had only flown 1 time in one month. Very few people can become proficient in an airplane and checkride ready while flying 1-3 times a month. I am not saying that all locations are bad... or even that the company is bad (there are a few people willing to help you and work with you). There is a new program (sounds promising) that is being put in place, but I highly doubt that it will be standardized within the next few months. If you want an instructor change, prepare for there to be a lot of questions, issues and "we can't do that for you, you must finish with your current instructor". Be careful if staying in student housing. There are "add-on's" coming in and out all of the time. I had several things stolen from me, which was unfortunate. Some of it was toiletry items and other were shirts/hats/food. On a tight budget, having food stolen is a huge deal. It is a quick program, so if you feel that you want to gamble and can get through with minimal help, than this is your program. I cannot recommend this current location and I would really take time to evaluate your options. I can say I made a lot of great friends, and met some really cool people despite everything. Again, this is the opinion of one student out of many.

MIL2ATP is by far the best training experience I've had, and I've had my fair share. I am so happy…read moreI made the decision to head out there to train. Don't be misled by the company name: while they specialize in helping military pilots transition to ATP and into civilian airlines, they can train anyone at any phase of their training. Personally, I finished up my commercial training, then returned to do multi-engine, and plan to head back to complete my instructor training. A few things to highlight about my time there. Tracey and Kim will probably be your first point of contact and will get you all set up. They made sure all the admin was smooth and transparent. At other places I've trained at, the admin, if any, was shady or non-existent, so this was a real breath of fresh air. Chris Kreske and the instructor team (Alex, Ryan, Franz, et al.), first of all, have great personalities! They are exceedingly knowledgeable, sociable, and genuinely interested and invested in your improvement as a pilot. They expect and train to higher standards. My instructors had flexible schedules and were happy to work with me. In commercial training, I requested 2 flights per day, with a ground between. No problem! There is also a DPE on staff (and more on call), which means checkrides get scheduled and happen with no delay. For both my commercial and multi-engine courses, once I was ready and endorsed, I came back first thing the next morning for my checkride. Amazing! The school's airplanes are clean, very well maintained, and thoroughly insured! There is maintenance on site and ready incase of any needed repairs. The aircraft fleet is deep, with plenty of planes available. You may even get to fly the Seneca II with the Robertson STOL kit installed! That said, I was very happy to fly the same airplane every session during both commercial and multi-engine. Location-wise, after take off, it takes very little time getting to the training area. Take off, get clear of the airport, and get down to business. This was a big and welcome change for me after spending most of my time training under and around Charlotte's bravo. On the ground, there are plenty of places to stay in and around Goldsboro. Near the AFB main gate there are a surprising amount of options for restaurants and grocery stores. Which brings me to the price...they have the best prices I've seen/paid, for both flying and ground instruction. No question. I am extremely happy with my experience with MIL2ATP. I only wish I had found out about them soon. If it's an available option for you, I highly recommend you make it your first choice. And don't just take my word for it, go ahead and look up their many AOPA awards!

Their online courses, dedicated staff, and multiple partnerships truly provide a "one-size fits all" solution. I signed up around Nov 2016, and despite rescheduling multiple times due to AF paperwork delays (sorry Brittany), I finally attended the flight practical portion Aug 17. Over the span of the 5-day course, we had daily academics, 3 flights and a check ride. The instructors are all very knowledgable, the aircraft are very well-maintained, and the ATP study materials are spot on. Feel free to message me with any questions; however, I highly recommend Mil2ATP if you're looking to get your ATP.
