The Florida Flight Training Center is a great place to get complete and professional training. I’ve known the owner Luis Savigne for over a decade and then met many members of his staff. They are all very professional and knowledgeable. I’ve used their services for training in Cheyenne II & III, King Air and Citation 500 series, CE560. They are always available for Q &A even after your training is complete. I’m know the chief pilot for a large corporation and continue to use their services for myself and our crew. The personalized approach is unmatched.

I had the opportunity to work with Luis and Erik in developing an Avionics/Simulator training program for pilots. I was amazed at the amount of knowledge that both of them offered, being able to answer all of my questions regarding avionics, procedures, safety and other tips on many different aircraft. I also had the opportunity to shadow them as they trained dozens of students through many procedures on the aircraft. All of the students and pilots gave me very positive feedback and when following up, all passed their check rides. I highly recommend training here as the service is professional, pristine, effective and very reliable.

My copilot and I recently trained with FFC, this was the first time we trained in the actual aircraft, it is a 560XL. I was recurrent and my copilot Gary was a type rating. What a great experience! Luis Sr trained us. He is a pleasure to fly with and very knowledgeable of the aircraft. the check rides went smooth and I feel more trained now than any simulator training I have ever done. We will definitely be back next year.

We called up Florida Flight Center to get us in with our tight schedule, which they did. The owner actually trained us, taught us new procedures and new ways to perfect maneuvers. Had great conversations and enjoyed our overall learning experience.

Luis and his team are first class! The vast knowledge of multiple aircraft is as amazing as their in depth instruction. I have used them for years for my training needs from pistons to jet ratings.

Florida Flight Center is a great place to train. I earned my commercial license and CE-500 and CE-525S type ratings a few years ago and I have been through multiple recurrent training sessions. As a physician with a busy surgical practice, I required a program with flexibility to fit my schedule and Luis was most accommodating each and every time. The ground school materials were excellent and the flight training, while intense, was manageable and taught me mastery of these aircraft. I would highly recommend this training center and when its time for my annual 61.58 checkride next year, I will be returning to FFC once again to do my training.

I recently received my type rating from FFC and could not be happier. I worked with Luis Savigne Sr. first doing ground school. Be prepared if you work with him!!! He is very thorough and has an amazing amount of energy. He took a lot of time to TEACH me the systems. Once I got done working with him, I felt very comfortable. Then, I worked with Erik Aible on the flight work and check ride. Erik was great to work with. No nonsense, easy to get along with, very encouraging. Needless to say, I passed the check ride with flying colors.I started my training with another Florida based flight operation. I got paired with the wrong instructor. I knew we werent a good fit when we were over the Atlantic doing Top Gun maneuvers. I got so screwed up one day I went back to my hotel at 4:00 pm and went to bed. Needless to say- it was a BAD experience. I should have gone to FFC to begin with.Once last word of advice. Dont train in Florida if you can avoid it. The air traffic is crazy, the airspace condensed with multiple large fields and the weather is unpredictable. FFC will come to YOU, train you in your aircraft and in your surrounding airspace. I huge advantage and comfort level.I would recommend this training team to anyone. See you guys for my recurrent!!!
