Yes while the airport has little to no air traffic and you are right up in free air space doing…read moretraining I feel the place falls short example, my instructor didn't know everything, might have been new, I was listening to another flt instructor giving instruction to a new student, wanted to jump up and say yes you know it all but realize you need to humbly teach not show off your knowledge, its about the student learning and passing not walking away feeling you are great, I feel while the FAA passes one as a flt intructor it doesn't mean they are teachers, my plane never started, so flight was cancelled, it got better we rescheduled and then they called me to cancel, really pushing me out after all I had been through, simply, I went to Bartow Airport, yes worth the drive, the airport owns the flt school night and day, so I feel in my many years that this school could be a lot better, might I say the guy at the frt desk was exceptional, really seemed to care, but the execution of quality instruction and well maintained plans fell short, worth the extra expense at ORL or again it was well worth trip to Bartow, they took care of me in one flight and learned a lot, sorry have seen over the years a few schools go in and out Orlando Country old school name, its just an iffy airport over the years and would recommend going outside, you are saving money but there is a fallback with excellence.

High-quality flight school all around! I started my Private Pilot Certificate at Embry-Riddle but…read moreeventually switched to Epic Flight Academy to finish after hearing such positive remarks from different friends and pilots. I was able to easily maintain my college courses at Riddle while flying with Epic, so flexibility is possible. From dispatch and maintenance staff to Instructors and Team Leaders, every Epic employee exceeded my expectations in terms of a family friendly learning environment. The C-172S aircraft were all in excellent condition, equipped with G1000. The Epic ramp area is well maintained along with KEVB in its entirety, and you simply can't beat its beautiful location in terms of its Class D airspace. However, as a student veteran, I would have liked to see Epic Flight Academy accept VA benefits to allow student veterans to gain assistance in finishing the remaining flight ratings at Epic, but they do not at the moment. Overall, I would highly recommend Epic Flight Academy for obtaining your Private Pilot Certificate, or any other certificate or rating you wish to pursue.

If you plan on attending the aircraft maintenance school, DONT. This place should be renamed "Scam…read moreFlight Academy" because the quality of education is trash. Some of the instructors dont know whats going on and the others are just mindlessly droning on through powerpoint slide shows. I didnt want to pay 47,000$ to be bored to death, I paid for a quality education and quality instructors, which is what was advertised. ive been here for 5 months and all ive learned is that a place like this rips away your motivation to get into the aviation industry. Dont get me started on the housing department either. The same people that own epic own the apartments they use for student housing, one half is non students and the other half are students. The non students (for a two bedroom apartment NOT beachside and NOT in a good spot) pay 1600$ a month, so why is it that the students pay 3200$ a month for the exact same apartment split 4 ways. They cram 4 people in a 2 bedroom apartment and charge the students double. It doesn't take a genius to notice that this is a cash grab/scam. Fuck this place and fuck getting scammed. All the good reviews are for the flight school, for the pilots, anyone can fly a plane but how many people can fix them? Take care of your students and stop scamming them.

Five years ago I started a journey towards becoming a pilot. That journey began at First Landings…read moreand I could not be more thankful. The school is run by a team of professionals that take your flight training as far as you want to go with a pace that matches your lifestyle. The rates for training beat out the competitors while delivering a product that is more personal and productive. The training area is right next to First Landing's home airport (X04) and this is a huge advantage. While training you do not have to waste money and time getting to where you need to practice. The airport is also between several other airports making it an ideal training environment. I pursued my Instrument, Commercial, Flight Instructor, Instrument Flight Instructor, and sport plane Instructor licenses from First Landings. While doing so I was able to compare my experiences with students at other schools. What I found was that not only did I save money, but my training was more productive. Following this I taught for First Landings for several years as a Flight Instructor. The experiences I have gained there have been invaluable in making me the pilot I am today. Thanks to these experiences at First Landings my peers and I are all working for the airlines living the dreams we set out for. If you are looking for a flight school this is the one and there is no better time to start your journey with the schothat will make your dreams a reality.
