This managing staff are not respectful. They are short and rude and unaccommodating. The flight school XFlight just two hangars down is so much better. Their prices are better as well. Long story I short I scheduled a discovery flight for a friend whom was excited to try flying for the first time. They told my friend I couldn’t be in the back seat to show support – when I asked why (assuming it was an air craft issue or weight issue, etc. – knowing full well that would not be the case but nonetheless a good excuse for them) they said it was policy. Interestingly, the day before their instructor Logan had no issue taking us both but the weather wasn’t accommodating. The managing staff tried to pretend their instructors didn’t know the “policy.” To push I asked to read the policy because I had already paid for the experience. They said I couldn’t read the policy. They are either liars or just immature, rude and most definitely unaccommodating. If I was an instructor there I’d be counting the days until my 1500 hours were done, can’t imagine working for that managing staff. Please take your money down the road to a more affordable, more personable and enjoyable flight school. XFlight is also owned by an incredible person with a great story and family. They accommodating us as walk ins while Florida Aviation basically told us to kick rocks.

Best flight school out there period. You will have a hard time finding a better program due to their more than reasonable prices and the accelerated pace they allow you to move at. I came to Florida Aviation Academy with only a Private Pilot Certificate and within 3 months of continuous, and in depth flight training I had earned my Instrument Rating, Commercial Single Engine and Commercial Multi-Engine Licenses. Now I am working on my CFI and am expecting to be done with it in about a month. The school is very accommodating to life and personal needs and are willing to work with you if anything comes up. The school will also work with you to keep your costs down as much as possible which separates them from other flight programs I have encountered in the past. The chief flight instructor, Jack, is one of the most accomplished pilots I have ever met and has a fountain of knowledge he is eagerly waiting to share with every student that walks through the doors. The culture here is fantastic due to it professional and family like environment. Instructors are always available for help and are more than happy to sit down and thoroughly explain answers to whatever questions you may have. If you come to this school and apply yourself, it will be the best choice you will ever make for your future in aviation.
