Flyright Aviation is a fantastic flight school. Luis and John are very passionate and dedicated to…read morethe upkeep of their planes and to get people flying. Luis runs his business with honesty and integrity. It's very noticeable that he cares. I called Luis at the very beginning of February and asked if he would be able to facilitate me getting my private pilots in an accelerated manner. I am from out of town and only had a month of availability to work with. I had a bit of prior flying experience, though it had been years since I last flew. I was definitely rusty. I was also struggling to retain the information from the online ground school platforms so I requested ground instruction. Luis assessed where my skill level, and with my instructor Travis, we came up with a plan to work towards my goal. Travis was thorough, organized, patient, and knowledgeable. He was very dedicated to giving me as much ground and flight instruction that I could handle. And he worked with the ambitious time frame I set for us. The schedule was demanding and rigorous, and there is still so much to learn. But with the quality instruction from Travis and Nikki and Luis's dedication to my success. I can proudly say the I got my private pilots license in a month. With ground instruction, and full flight hours. I have so much gratitude for the flyright team and hope to come back for my next endorsements. Thank you!

It is truly a hidden gem! This family-owned operation is run with incredible professionalism,…read morepassion, and integrity. Luis (the owner and A&P) and John are absolutely awesome--they manage the school with a perfect balance of structure and support, making it a welcoming and focused environment for any aspiring pilot. Luis has an incredible depth of aviation knowledge, and his teaching style is second to none. He knows how to break complex topics down in a way that makes them easy to understand, whether you're just starting out or advancing your training. He trains professional pilots, not hobbyists--and it shows. If you're not serious or passionate about becoming a pilot, this probably isn't the place for you. But if you are, you won't find better. I earned my ICFI here in just a few weeks, and they keep the process moving--DPE checkride dates are usually only 1-2 weeks out, which is unheard of at most other places. In short, top-tier instruction, honest people, and a school that genuinely wants to see you succeed.

He landed us gently and I was very impressed.

I've seen a lot of reviews talking about progression and quality of learning. So I'll try to cover…read moresomething different in my review. My experience with fly accelerated has been incredible. I did my instrument with them. I was expecting a bureaucratic process and tons of paperwork before flying. Fly Accelerated was very different. It feels made by pilots for pilots it was a streamlined process for me to get flying. I'd like to highlight my positive experience with administration. Everything is straightforward. You're given a checklist of what to expect and what to do prior to starting training. It makes onboarding very easy and you're mostly focused on flying and learning throughout this time and all the scheduling is taken care of. It all happens rather fast 'go figure'. Additionally, its easy to communicate with Jamie he's a great guy and a professional, the balance is settled at the end of the month. One important detail the instructors are career CFI's so you won't be switching instructors in the middle of flight training saving you anywhere form a few hundred to a few thousand which is something I'm worried about when looking at flight training. Secondly you are booked with an instructor. So for a set amount of time (based on your timeline and goals) you two will be flying together and doing ground almost nonstop. Overall a great investment if you need to go fast. I didn't think I could learn that fast but it's structured so you can succeed. It's a very unique experience and certainly one to remember!

I completed my private pilot license with Jamie several years ago. It was an amazing experience…read more As an educational professional and engineer, I had always wanted to finish the private pilot license that I started when I was in school. I started back up but doing one hour a week with my local instructor I could see it was going to take another year at least. Progress was slow. Looking for an alternative, I got in touch with Jamie. My first step was to finish the written exam myself. I engaged in self study, took a course, created tons of flashcards and did quite well. Then I went out and spent 2 weeks with Jamie. We flew almost every day. Some days were frustrating. Nothing would work. Then a day it would all click, and another day of regression, then it would finally all come together. I passed the checkride on the first attempt. Jamie has a good style for professionals. As an engineer and teacher, I probably had too many questions. I kept asking him how do I know when I'm about to touch the runway? How do I see it? Why isn't there a radar? Why are the instruments so small? etc etc. Of course he showed me all the moves, but he always came back to something along the lines of you just need to do it 300 times. And we'd go up back in the pattern and do it again. And again. I started having nightmares about French Valley airport. But I got it. I would definitely do it again. I haven't flown in a while and I may need to do it again in fact.

This is the best brain food out there for a man that will not stop. He is going again and I cannot contain his enthusiasm, nor do I want to.
