Highly recommend this place to get exceptional training and a unique experience at a busier airport under Class B airspace. You get so much exposure early on with a CFI instead of training at a smaller airport with few people around and then going to your first busy airspace by yourself. Your comms will be way better, you’ll experience a ton of realistic scenarios (talking to approach, wake turbulence, traffic and spacing) and you’re close to the practice area with plenty of controlled and uncontrolled airports to practice on. Not to say there aren’t frustrations, especially when you get stuck on a skill, but talking to your instructor and coming up with a way to mix things up or deciding on a break to clear your head really helped. The staff is patient and professional. They want you to have a great experience. The biggest thing you want out of your training school is to feel safe and to get the best possible training for your money and Thrust is it. I started in the 172s and when the Archers came in I switched about halfway to get experience with both planes (and the AC definitely helped in the summer). They really do work hard to continue improving the school so if something is on your mind that’s not working for you, talk to them. Everyone from scheduling to maintenance is there for you and your training.

I am a ZTA student and recently finished my End of Course as a CFI at Thrust Flight School. Not only are the airplanes new (G1000, Glass Cockpit); The instructors are of very good quality and the Administration Team at Thrust is absolutely wonderful. Bryan has cheered me on non stop, and the team at Thrust have helped me to develop confidence as a safe pilot and instructor. I was a professional teacher in the Texas School System for 7 years prior to training at Thrust. From my experience teaching I can say with 100% confidence that Thrust Flight School takes what the very best of teachers do, and then brings that to an even higher level. The team at Thrust cares about you as a student. They want you to succeed. They are very approachable, amiable, communicative, and inclusive. Given the opportunity to pursue training again from zero time, I would still pick Thrust every time. I’m very proud to have trained at Thrust and consider it an honor to have had the privilege of flying as a student here.

After conducting thorough research to find a flight school that offered a combination of top-tier education, rigorous standards, and a supportive community atmosphere, I selected Thrust. This decision has proven to be one of my best. The administration and instructors at Thrust have consistently gone above and beyond to assist me throughout my training. Even amidst the joyful chaos of welcoming our second child, Thrust remained accommodating and understanding. I cannot commend my experience with Thrust highly enough.
