There were only 2 of us in my testing room which made it quiet and easier to concentrate. Safety measures were also taken during covid which helped. After the test, I conveniently walked upstairs and they had the fingerprint testing available also. I will be back for future testing.

I had found a discount on http://wlwt.half-offcincy.com for a $30 Pioneer Discovery Intro Flight…read more(normally $100). I figured this would be a good baby-step towards skydiving, and you can't beat THAT deal. After parking in the lot across the streeet, we pushed the intercom button and were buzzed in (always a VIP feeling!). We were greeted by the instuctor, Mark, who did a quick tutorial of the ins-n-outs of the plane. I got in the pilot seat, Mark rode shotgun, and my fiance got in the back (no additional charge for him to ride). I got to steer the plane a little during pre-takeoff taxiing, and do some turns and ascents/descents in the air. Totally different experience than a commercial airplane! It was a gorgeous day and the views were awesome. It was a *little* shakier than a Delta flight, but in a "wheeee!!" kinda way :) I am now the proud owner of my very own flight log, with one flight under my belt. Another bonus... about a week after, I got a Thank You card in the mail. The front was a picture of my fiance & me standing by the Cessna we rode in. They're supposed to be offering another online deal some time, so keep an eye out!

This place is an absolute disaster. Right on par with Flamingo down the street. Very poor…read moreorganizational skills with very little consistency between instructors and management. Their students average more than 100 hours and at least a year to get a PPL. A real flight school is just 10 miles east at Clermont County Airport. Do not waste your resources with this sad excuse for a flight school.

I began my instrument flight training with another school and came to Sportys to finish up. I can…read morenot say enough about how positive my experience was with this school. From my initial contact with David Zitt, who called me back on the same day I left him a message, to the instructor assigned to me, Dan, to the ease of scheduling (basically they did it all). All I had to do was study and fly! When the time for my checking approached along with bad weather the school and the examiner went above and beyond making sure that the oral and flight portions of the test were scheduled around any obstacles! I will certainly use them again if I ever add the commercial rating. Thank you all for the positive experience, Steve Haines

I cannot speak to their actual instruction, but poor customer service and they do not offer…read morefinish-up programs as advertised on their website. When asked about an IFR finish-up program, was told none of their instructors were available (after inquiring months ago). They ghosted me when I asked about later this summer or early fall.

Overall, decent school with very safe Enstrom helicopters. Helicopters are maintained very well…read more Lead instructor/owner is excellent, with 7000 hours. Jr. instructor has only 350 hours, and will not sign you off to solo unless you are absolutely perfect in every aspect of operating the helicopter. If my fixed wing instructor had been so strict, I would never have soloed. I spent $17K (34 hours), and she would not sign me off, so I gave up. I am a fixed wing pilot with 750 safe hours.

I was shocked to see that no one has written a review of Vertical Advantage Helicopters. I'll be…read morethe first! When I was shopping for private pilot training, the first thing I looked for is the safety record of the aircraft. Enstroms check the boxes. No crazy safety Endorsement required like when flying mast-bumping Robinsons. The second thing I looked for was accessibility to service. Check. Warren Co airport is intimately associated with Enstrom Helicopter Corp and is a service center. Finally, I interviewed the instructor pilots. TJ and Matt are friendly gents with thousands of hours of experience. They have a firm dedication to safety and a dedication to seeing you become proficient in whatever you want to do. They are straight-shooters and lend sound advice on everything Helicopter. Their schedules are flexible and they really go out of their way to help. There is no one else you want in the right seat other than good pilots with good teaching skills. Don't expect a bunch of hand-holding on the ground knowledge, though. Their pragmatic approach has students using inexpensive on-line programs for that. I just received my private helo rating, and I'm living proof that vaheli performs a service as advertised! No regrets! Their tour clients are a satisfied group too, just ask!

Pretty meh, gotta say. For as interesting and historic as Lunken Airport is, this flight school…read moreleft a lot to be desired when I gave it a look recently. Well-worn (and pricey) Pipers -- and a lone 50's-vintage 172 which Dennis, the Director of Training I met with, said he "didn't like students to use because the radios are finicky" -- and just no energy to the place at all (no instructors and students coming and going, no ground lessons in progress, no airplanes being preflighted, etc.) The final disappointing straw in my evaluation of Flamingo came when, while looking over the training Pipers with Dennis, he outright lied to me when he said with great authority that employers prefer low-wing flight time over high-wing flight time in a pilot's logbook when considering them for a job. Asking several professional pilots I work with sadly confirmed what I already knew to be true: shameless BS sales job. Not cool. I hang out at Lunken Airport (KLUK) quite a bit being the aviation junkie that I am, and even during the warm months there never seems to be much happening at this operation, at least with regard to flight instruction. I know they teach an Aircraft Dispatcher course, and also offer training in Drone operation/repair, so maybe flight training is just supplemental to their main business focus. Either way, I went elsewhere with my training needs (and $10k).

Everything here from flying lessons to mechanics that know most airplanes better than some mechanics know cars. It is great. I call this my home away from home now and proud of it.
