In the summer of 2016 I decided to start taking flight lessons again after a 10 year break. I looked at several different schools around the area both at Manassas and at other airport in the area. After visiting a couple schools, checking out their aircraft and, meeting with instructors, I decided on American Aviation. I took my first flight with them in July 2016 in the Diamond DA-20 and it was quite a thrill to be flying again. I then made the decision to transition to the DA-40 as its larger, more complex and something I’d be more likely to take friends and family flying in.

At American Aviation I flew with 1 primary instructor and 3 others once or twice for checkups. My primary instructor was great. He always had me flying the plane and let me make mistakes within reason and then taught me how to correct them. All the flights were fun and prepared me well and by the time the checkride came, it was one of the easier flights I had.

All in all I highly recommend them and will be back for my instrument rating, once I’ve had a little bit of fun flying on my own first.

I would have to echo other reviewers, this is not a good place to get your pilots license for a number of reasons. They don’t seem to really prioritize students or student schedules. They seem to really cater to a specific group of students from a university who come in to learn to fly, everyone else is a second class citizen. They don’t have enough airplanes and they don’t manage the schedule well enough so that everyone can be able to fly when they need/ want to, and they don’t prioritize needs. Seems like something is always broken in the airplane. If you aren’t constantly on top of things with the staff, you will have a hard time graduating from this flight school.
