Sanford Aircraft Flight Training, Sanford | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I purchased an aircraft at KSFB and needed some instructional time to satisfy insurance requirements. New to the Sanford airport, I contacted Chris who not only found me an instructor, but someone who was experienced with complex aircraft and the challenging KSFB class C airport. The service, kindness and professional care and follow up provided to me by both Chris and Elijah the flight instructor, puts Sanford Aircraft in a totally different category of flight schools.

They knew I had a deadline to meet, worked with me to find time to provide instruction amidst weather, illness (me) to get me to be able to fly the plane back to my home state. Oh, did I forget to mention, I needed a new battery for the aircraft which was a specific sort and Chris just happened to have one. It was a miracle! Elijah kept track of my trip back to my home state and ensured everything was okay. Classy instructor!

If you want a highly professional flight school in sunny Florida, fulfill hours towards your certifications, or simply want to check out what flying is like, Sanford Aircraft Flight Training is among the very best, I highly recommend you giving them a try.

It has been a long time since I flew, and I was worried about what getting back into flying would be like. I found this flight school from a friend and could not be happier. I just had my first lesson, and the staff made sure to address all my questions and even allowed me to bring my wife and kids to watch as I get back into my hobby. The kids had more fun than me, if that is even possible. The staff let the kids see all the aircraft and gave them a front-row seat as I took off for the first time. Daniela was a great instructor and took the time to understand my background before planning our 1st lesson and quickly adapted to areas where I struggled and moved pasted what I had a good understanding of. This was great as flying is not cheap, and this quickly made me feel that I was getting good value for my money. I will update the review if anything changes as I get more lessons. I can’t wait to go up again and highly recommend that if you are thinking about flying, this is the place for you.

I can’t say enough good things about Sanford Aircraft. Chris and Daniela were superstars! They are kind, professional, happily patient, and encouraging each step of the way (even when I don’t use enough rudder while landing). They didn’t treat me as a student. They treated me as a family member, who happens be a student. I consider them a part of my family, too.

They are very organized, and they lay out ahead of time lesson plans so that the process of getting a PPL is not a surprise. I always knew what the next lesson would be. Scheduling is easy. The aircraft are meticulously maintained by Chris, who is also a highly regarded airplane mechanic (and an ATP pilot). Their standards are very high with everything they do. Their standards are also high with what they expect from students…but truth is always given with love.

I wish every flight school (and every business in general) was run this way! I agree with a previous review…this is the best flight school in Central Florida.
