Flying has only been a dream until John helped make it a reality. I cannot say enough good things about him and his training. I comfortably passed my checkride to be a private pilot and ready to take up family and friends. Johns training is very organized, youll always know where you are with your training. His plane is very well kept and clean, it is NOT a general trainer limping along for students to use. I started and finished my training in the Archer and now I get to rent it. Flying is something I want to do with my family, so my goal wasnt to just get through it. I wanted to know everything I can and be as safe as I can and John is just the instructor to do that. I put my trust in him to teach me and so should you! Getting your license does take some time, dont be surprised that youll consider him family by the end of it.

I started flying 35 years ago in New Zealand, so Ive seen my share of flight instructors both in other parts of the United States and around the world. I can say without hesitation that John Nutt is one of the best flight instructors I have ever had.John takes the time to understand you as a person and what your goals are. He then tailors your training to what will work specifically for you. When you hit a plateau and the progress stops (and that will occur for everyone at some point) John has the experience to find a way to get you past that point and get you moving forward again.He treats everyone as family, and that shows in his patience, and also in the care and maintenance of the aircraft.I always enjoy meeting Johns other students because there is everybody; from teenagers to retirees, both male and female, and at all levels of training; pre-solo, private pilot, commercial pilot, instrument rating, and flight instructor.Please take advice from someone who has seen a wide range of instructors. A senior, experienced instructor such as John will get you to where you want to be in the most efficient way possible, without cutting corners or compromising safety, and in the process will save you a fortune in terms of time and money.

The caliber of flight instruction from John Nutt at New England Aeronautics Inc. is truly exceptional. His commitment and devotion to his students is without comparison, as is his knowledge and attention to detail. Having over 30 years of instruction experience, John approaches aviation and flight training through the study of Aeronautics which is more than just learning to fly. 5 stars isnt enough to describe his training!

John Nutt is the most amazing instructor on the East Coast. He goes above and beyond by teaching aeronautics as youre learning to fly. With over 22,000 hours he is the most experienced and patient individual you can work with. His passion for flying is beyond measurable and his commitment to his students is exceptional.

Im somewhat biased because John is my dad, but I still feel compelled to write him a 5 star review. Not because Im his son, but because I truly believe hes one of the very best flight instructors out there. Therefore, I want anyone reading this who may be considering learning to fly to know that with him youll find only the very best. My dad has been teaching my entire life - literally, my entire life. Ive never known a time in my life where my dad wasnt lesson planning or passionately heading to the airport to teach a student. He lives and breathes flying and teaching. Hes notorious for waking up before the sunrise and teaching until well after it sets. He spent much of his career working as a Senior Flight Instructor for another area flight school, but it was always his dream to own a plane of his own and to be able to teach on his own terms, following his own philosophy. Finally, after many years he went solo (no pun intended) and is now continuing to do what he does best, but now with complete freedom to offer unparalleled flight instruction in the way that only he can. Growing up with a pilot for a father, I learned a lot about the differences between a good vs. a not-so-good flight instructor, as well as between good and not-so-good pilots. Its important to know that not every instructor is the same or as well-qualified, in the same way that not all pilots are as knowledgeable or committed to safety as others. My point is, if youre looking to challenge yourself to learn to fly an aircraft and want to not only learn, but learn how to do it well and safely, why take a chance and choose just any instructor? Instead, choose to learn from an instructor with over 30 years of teaching experience and so many logged hours I wont even attempt to guess correctly. Choose to learn from John through New England Aeronautics and in doing so youve chosen the very best. After all, dont we all want the very best? If, after all of your research and reading this review and others you still have any hesitation, feel free to give him a call or send him an email. Take the first step in the right direction and before long youll be flying high (and not to mention, like a pro).

If you get a chance to fly with John. You will be flying the plane from start to finish.Regardless of your experience. You will get your moneys worth of instruction.
