If I could give Kingsky zero stars I would. My daughter was in the Polk State professional pilot…read moreprogram. She started flight with Kingsky in her second semester of her freshman year. January 30th. When she started my husband made phone calls and sent emails to request a breakdown of what was included with the cost estimation they gave Polk State students for completing their private. After repeated attempts they never provided that information. She stayed with them because it was through the Polk State program. In her time flying with Kingsky they put her with 9 different instructors, not by her choice. She has 51 flight hours and did not solo. When the second semester came she had an incomplete on her "flight lab" class because you have to have your private pilot license to pass the class. Unknown to her at the time she was dropped from her bright futures scholarship and continued to fly through the summer. She signed up for fall classes and finished her first week of classes and was dropped from the program due to the loss of her bright futures scholarship. She has been paying out of pocket for flight lessons and Kingsky requires you to maintain a minimum balance of $1,500 in the flight account which she has always done. They will not refund her $1,500 due to their policy even though that was money she put in and can not use there. Also, during this time they have charged her 20 hours of ground instruction even though she has already completed her FAA written test and ground course. This place is a complete money grab. Please go to your local flight school or anywhere else!! If you are enrolling in Polk State do not enroll in the professional pilot program as you will be stuck with King Sky. Save yourself the time and money wasted and go to any other flight school!

Some ground lessons seem unnecessary. Update: I completed my Private Pilot License at TBA for approximately $40,000. Significantly higher than initial expectations. The school increased rates during training, including instructor fees (without corresponding instructor pay increases). During my commercial training using 50% GI Bill benefits, training was halted several months later due to billing disputes. TBA interpreted GI Bill reimbursement as 50% of every invoice up to eligibility limits, while their website policies suggested reimbursement "up to 50%" of total costs. This discrepancy created confusion over payment responsibilities. When I attempted to resolve the overdue balance in good faith, TBA threatened legal action. After I provided documentation showing billing errors, their legal team and leadership agreed to my original settlement offer, though this exceeded what I felt was warranted. Two years later, TBA refused to provide my Biennial Flight Review. I've since found more affordable alternatives for continuing aviation training. Bottom line: Expect higher costs than quoted and carefully review all billing policies before committing.
