I initially reached out and they were quick to respond and quick to schedule. The checkout flight was done in good time and very informative. Brent and his school have an amazing system, and being with them for some time now I have such an appreciation for the amazing planes, the efficient renting system, and all the amazing CFI's that are ready to help and responsible students that leave the plane nicer than before. I recommend anyone looking for renting for fun or time building or even starting a new rating with them any day because of the tight efficient system and such nice planes! Have fun flying!!

I highly recommend training at Scottsdale Executive Flight Training. Currently as a 777 Pilot and…read morecertified flight instructor myself, I sent my daughter here after a disastrous time at Sierra Charlie Aviation. She spent over 6 months at Sierra Charlie Aviation and because of their incompetence, lack of awareness and poor scheduling, I pulled my daughter out of their program and sent her to Scottsdale Executive Flight Training. She was paired up with her instructor Maddie Moles, whom I cant say enough good things about. Under Maddie's supervision and instruction, my daughter, Calie has far exceeded and excelled at this flight school. They keep you informed, aware of progress and have a plan in place to keep their students moving forward at all times. Not only was Maddie instrumental in Calie's progress, the Chief pilot and head of Cessna training, Nick Lane, went above and beyond to make sure Calie was ready to pass her check ride without issues. Calie is looking forward to continuing training here at Scottsdale Executive!

We got to know about it once we reached the airport. Anyways we had to reschedule and as per availability, got for 2 weeks later. My wife loved it and it was a nice experience overall. Not easy to handle Cessna's but worth the once-in-a-lifetime experience. The pilot who flew with my wife was nice and welcoming. He engaged in small talk and did not let my wife bore me during the flight by answering all the queries. Taking away one star since I had to followup multiple times for the downgrade difference refund.

I did a bit of homework before I booked a Discovery Flight as a treat for myself. I talked to a…read morecouple of aviator buddies, and all have said this place was really good. I've now been here twice, and the staff have been great both times. Initially, I came for a tour and then set up a Discovery Flight a few weeks later. I was paired up with a female CFI, and it was a really good fit. CL was amazing with me from start to finish and really took the time to show me things, and I really appreciated that. We did a flight pre check, and then both climbed in and got ready to fly. The great thing about this place is that they have all the same Cessna 172s to teach their students. And, they all use G1000s EFIS. Maintainence of planes are done in-house, and everyone talks about how regularly they upkeep their planes and all are in very good condition. It was really fun going on this Discovery Flight, and I'm hooked! The next step is to get the process going to get my PPL...so I'll be back here soon enough.

Let me preface this review by stating the fact that the week I was scheduled to be at Double Eagle,…read morethe weather was not perfect. But, it was for a CPL rating and the weather was very flyable. Based on schedule, and the 3 other reviews, I decided to go to Double Eagle for my CPL rating. I was told that the class consists of a dedicated instructor with 2 hrs in the airplane and 6 hrs ground school every day, with the practical test on the 6th day. I had a few conversations with them, scheduled the date, paid the (non-refundable) deposit, and was told the CFI would contact me with the details of preparation, what to bring, etc. The week before the class I still hadn't heard from the instructor. When I called them, they told me that the instructor assigned to me had quit the day before without any notice and they would assign me a new instructor. I was told that the new instructor was an F16 pilot/instructor. This last part seems really odd since during my discussions with the CFI, he had recently did his CPL (in a C152) and was currently taking a class in College Algebra. I have been a pilot since the 1990's and have owned multiple airplanes, complex & high-performance, that I have flown all over the U.S. The CFI was treating me like a new Private Pilot candidate that he was afraid was going to run us into the ground. In the "ground school" portion, he spent more time talking about flying a traffic pattern than anything else. Opposed to the "dedicated instructor" I was supposed to receive, I was also being cycled into the CFI's schedule with a local PPL student. Instead of starting on Monday, as the schedule stated, the CFI wanted me to be there 9 am Sunday morning to start. That, of course, messed up my whole schedule since I was traveling to Tucson for the training. As for the time allocated to me, instead of the 2/6 (air/ground) per day I received 2.2/2.8 on the first day, 1.4 (all in the pattern)/4.1 on the second day, and 0/2.6 on the third day. On Wednesday morning, with the weather at KTUS stating ceilings of 5500-6000 ft and the practice area clear (picture from when I was driving home is attached), he said the weather was too bad to get the flying time in to be ready for the checkride and wanted to reschedule. I did finish up the CPL elsewhere, not at a "bootcamp" school, with a very smooth practical test. Considering the cost and time, this was the most expensive flight instruction that I have every had and I left with them not even offering me a break on the rescheduled dates, or the option to pick-up where we left off.
