Would highly recommend another flight school/ college.

1

Many issues with this flight school/college. Horrible communication between management and students. If you are part 61 potentially not a bad place to fly if you don’t mind having to switch instructors all the time from high turn over or them quitting out of anger with the company. Flight instructors perpetually complain they have to beg for their paychecks and constantly check them for accuracy out of fear of getting screwed out of money. Planes are on the lower end of the quality spectrum but they fly. No high end avionics. Actually most of the avionics are quite bad. Seems overpriced for what you get. Would not suggest part 141 or attending college classes at this institution. Some teachers were nice but some quit and the rest will probably move on to something more stable and professional soon. Classes seem to be planned out on a whim the set structure is abysmal. During accreditation inspections they asked students to lend them textbooks from other institutions so they can claim they offered those classes to the accrediting body. This didn’t make any of the students feel comfortable seeing their own institution lying to retain accreditation. In the last 9 months 2 office staff members quit out of frustration with the company and 5 flight instructors left/were fired. I say left/fired because 2 potentially were fired for drug use or at least that’s what everyone is whispering around the office. But on the drug issue I can neither confirm or deny. Either way I’m an Anonymous person just trying to warn you from making a mistake in choosing this institution. I highly suggest if you are considering to go here then have multiple meetings with management (Denise) and see if it seems like a good fit. Also try and talk to students on break or in the parking lot. Usually the students are quite honest and will tell you all of their issues. Best of luck in your pursuit In aviation.
