Do yourself a favor. Do not go to this school. This place was called Aerosim when I went here, but its the same place with a different name.You will go to this school, take on all the debt of other schools ($100k+) and you wont even have a degree when youre done. Its hilarious, this place is all about preparing you for the airlines but they dont even have a degree program, which almost every airline requires. Dont waste your time or money. Go somewhere else that has a better school/life balance and will actually prepare you for the future. Dont buy into the BS that they can train you better.... I assure you, they cant. If its an option for you, go to a regular college and get a degree (Something in business is great) and do your flight training at a party 61 mom and pop school. If thats not an option, go somewhere like Embry-riddle. Its expensive, but atleast you get a degree out of it. Dont waste your time and money here. I promise you, you will regret it.

I’ve never felt so scammed in my life. They overcharge you for everything. Finished their PPP program a while ago and I completely regret joining that academy. There’s always better alternatives

They’re advisors must get paid commission, because they will degrade everything that doesn’t have to do with their 141 program. Called in regards to their Commercial 141 program, and with a strict full time work schedule I was not able to comply with their program because I have rent and other things to pay. Not a problem. Asked about their 61 program and it was really frowned upon that I couldn’t spend all my time and money on “getting to the airlines.” I get it’s a business, but the first impression was not very good. I’ve had lots of success with my Private and Instrument at smaller schools that were able to work with my schedule and still accomplish each step within a timely manner.I gave it 2 stars because it could probably fit for some people, however I don’t think schools like this are the ideal place to do your training if you want to really enjoy and LEARN how to be successful in the air. My opinion though.

They only care about money, even in this pandemic situation.Do the supervisors know what a nasal infection is?They only do paperwork to make their own reasons for exemption.

As a former student and flight instructor, I can attest to the great program they offer. I was able to complete my training and get to the airlines in under 3 years. I would recommend this program to anyone looking for a professional career in aviation.

I do not recommend the school to anyone that is looking for a career as an airline pilot they probably have 2 or 3 good instructors in property that knows what they are doing the rest suck just like the chief flight instructor(the poppet)is all about getting your money and they have all the answers and tricks available to accomplish that ,be very careful in joining that flight school read all the reviews it is the truth I read all of them pretty scary

Stopped in to see their facility after taking an FAA written exam. I was told by some guy on a power trip that I needed to have a badge to look out the window. This place is a total pilot mill motivated by money only. Every aviation enthusiast isn’t a terrorist.

Horrible flight school, the employees are always in some sort of meeting so you never could get a hold of them. Barely any instructors, and most of the employees that are supposed to help students always have an attitude. Some of the staff are racist as well. Have heard stories of the racist bosses, have heard myself an employee making a racist remark about there being so many Asian students. Wish I had read reviews before attending this school. Should be closed down for having employees working there that lack professionalism. Also before the owner tries to reply to this don’t waste my time. The complaints are listed as you read, so you can make the effort to change what’s listed instead of wasting more of my time.Edit: Since I can’t respond to the owner directly I’ll write my response to his respond here. I will not send a message to the email you listed. Like I stated already most of the employees there lack professionalism and can’t seem to accommodate to students especially when it’s in their job description.

Initially I loved this academy, they have passionate and dedicated Instructors who truly want their students to succeed. Unfortunately, there is ore group of individuals that have been around since the Delta Connection days and do not want to change with the times. Nepotism and favoritism reign supreme which allows the favorites to make irrational decisions that jeopardize business for the ENTIRE academy. There also is no such thing as CONFIDENTIAL within this entire L3 Harris corporation and it breaks my heart. The worst part of all is that the people in charge are running into the ground, and those that don’t bow down to the POSSE in charge are dismissed. I truly wanted to stay and help build the business to its potential, but I simply couldn’t play their game.

You are actively flying planes and training during a pandemic. There’s no excuse.

These people are terrible. They had me move from New York to Florida, signed a lease agreement with an apartment. Only for them to drop me from standz class because I didn’t do well on 1 of their written exams. Didn’t offer a retake. Nothing. So I moved my entire life to a new city, and had to pay $3,000 on top of my moving costs to break my lease because this school took the offer away from me after they told me I had the position and had me move. Stay far far away from this school and these people. I wish I could give negative stars.

Becoming a good pilot takes more than just showing up. Hard work and skill. If you ask for help you will get a personal touch.

Review №17

Waste of time and money unless you are a foreign contract student. Foreign students are the focus and priority while the American students are seen as not the source of income, yet additional income. They say you can get the private pilots license in 2-3 months yet the class I was with took around 5 months. American students flew an average of once every three days and with three stage checks awaiting 1 to 2 weeks to be scheduled for each. A horrible way to introduce new perspective pilots into aviation. I left and went to a local flight school--best decision.

This absolutely the worst flight school you could choose. They only care about the contract students and ignor all the self paying students.The managers only tell you want you want to hear and never follow through with promises. It’s very unprofessional and poorly ran. They do not have enough instructors. Go somewhere else if you want to actually fly, because you’ll only fly about once or twice a week as a self sponsored student.

If you are individual student , please go to other school. you will be discriminated compared with group student. It is schools business that they give priority to group student. There is no reason you have to treated like this. you are just source of money, not more than this. good bye liars!

Profit is their top priority and they’ll screw you and they can to take and keep your money. Even the money you don’t use after completing your training, they’ll refuse to give it back to you and force you to either spend it with them or let it “sit.” SAVE YOUR MONEY and STAY AWAY!

I enrolled in the Professional Pilot Program. I finished it all the way to Commercial Multi/Single then I was lucky enough to get a job with another company. Well they did not like that I dropped out of CFI. Now they audited my account and apparently they are SUING me for $23000 on top of what I already owe in student debt. I also have some guy who will not leave me alone and is harassing me til I pay. DONT GO HERE ITS AWFUL!

Quoted $75k from zero-cfi In 15 months. Finished in 14 months under the Training Course Outline in every license/eating, was hired by L3, didn’t owe a dime over my quote price, passed every checkride in-house and FAA first time. All the negative reviews I’ve read are from people who didn’t put in effort to get the job done right the first time and were looking for handouts. “Gaurenteed” job interview not is not a guaranteed job. If you have a terrible attitude, bad work ethic, and excessive checkride failures don’t be surprised when no one not just L3 doesn’t want to hire you. I recommend this school to people who are dedicated to flying, studying, keeping their head down, and mouth quiet.

People! Find another place to learn flying. This school is just not worth the money. Their planes are very old. Especially the Cessna 172s and the Piper Seminoles. Dont let pictures of the cirrus sr-20s fool you into believing that they have good airplanes. Even their cirrus have frequent maintenance problems such as engine overheating. They even had an accident a few years ago with one of their cirrus and it killed the Taiwanese boy that was flying it. If you still insist on enrolling at this school. Be very careful with the money you put in. They can overcharge you for many stupid reasons. And you have no way of getting them back. If you try arguing with the management. All you get is a bald guy screaming gtfo of my office!!! at you. Believe me. This happened so many times.Many of the students I know at this place were fooled into enrolling at this school because they said they will hire students who finished their CFI program. This didnt turn out to be true for most of the students who finished the CFI program. They will either force you out with an unbelievable agreement/contract before you finish the program, or theyll just not accept you no matter how good you were, how nice you were and how reputable you were during their program.Trust me people. Dont let their people with fake smiles fool you into enrolling at this place.

This school has too many students and you might need to wait more than two week for the flight or check ride. The can kick you out of the school for no reason.
