Outstanding, well established Flight School for a reasonable price. I also highly recommend the Adventure Flight for people interested in learning about aviation. read more

I booked a flight instruction session as a complete surprise for my boyfriend a few weeks in advance and asked if I could go along for the ride as well. Steve told me that would not be a problem as long as I was okay paying a small fee. As we were getting closer, I started looking at the yelp reviews and got kind of nervous, but decided to go through with it anyways. The day of the flight, we got to the airport and waited for the flight instructor to get back from a different flight in the tables and chairs in front of the office. When he got there, he was very nice and grabbed headphones for the flight, chatted a bit, and we were off! The entire experience was amazing! The flight instructor told my boyfriend everything he was doing and explained what all of the things on the dash meant. He told him every move he did with his own joystick and explained everything that was happening over the air control radio. We got very lucky with great weather for the flight and an incredible teacher who I don't remember the name of. Overall this was an amazing experience and nothing could have made it better. The flight instructor was amazing, helpful, and cool, and the flight was super fun. I definitely recommend doing flight training through Executive Flyers because I would absolutely do it again! Make sure to get a pilot's log book before you fly so the instructor can sign off on your hours! read more

Executive Flyers - Flight Instruction Near Me - Sacramento, California

See all

Excellent flight school and aircraft rental. I trained with my flight instructor named Robel Gayles. Robel is more than a pilot/flight instructor, he is a true Aviator. I highly recommend Executive Flyers as a flight school and if you are considering flight training, ask for Robel Gayles for your flight instructor. read more

I've been kicking around the idea of changing career paths. I connected with the owner Steve while out doing Sales work for my current employer. We struck up a conversation abouut the aaviation industry in general and his journey aand thoughts on becoming a commercial pilot. He was knowledgable, honest, and overall very helpful innanswering a lot of my questions. I returned for an intro flight and booked it with Steve to be the instructor. It was an awesome experience yet somewhat nerve racking at first taking control of the aircraft during the flight. Never once did I feel unsafe; knowing he was there to guide me despite my nerves initially. I highly recommend this place for their honesty and attention to detail on everything. Now I have the itch to fly. read more

Hope you do not expect them to be punctual. Part 107 Exam scheduled at 8:15am - no staff showed up until 8:45, and that's after I called the main number and it forwarded to the gentleman's cell phone. Second experience is worse - exam scheduled at 8:15 am again, no staff on site at 9:00 so I call, it forwards to the same person's cell phone and he says "oh shoot sorry - do you have any time constraints today? I'll be there about 9:30"!! Very unprofessional. Not impressed. read more

Quality and professional flight instruction and service! I trained with Executive Flyers and am now a private pilot privileged to be able to observe the world from a whole new perspective. The instructors at Executive Flyers guided me the entire way. Never once did I feel nervous or doubt that I would be able to accomplish my goals. Their knowledge and competence made me feel secure the entire time. Ground work, in air flight training and check ride prep were all handled expertly and I wouldn't trade my training for anything. Thank you Executive Flyers for the experience of a lifetime! read more

$99 one-hour flying lesson with Tony (pre-flight check does not cut into flying time) = flipping sweet. If you're on the wild side, ask to pull some Gs, otherwise a leisurely stroll above the surrounding areas is just as good. read more

This school/business has been a mess from the beginning of 2020. I paid to be checked out on the Cessna 206. Due to maintenance issues the 206 was unavailable for most of the year. I asked to check out in the 172 SP but was told the owner was using it for his own personal use. I asked to check out in the Corvallis/Columbia and was told to I needed to go through their specific insurance first. I went through their insurance company, paid the premium but was then told I couldn't fly it because I didn't have enough high peformance time. I'm an Air Force pilot but they wouldn't take my military flight time. I cut my losses and moved on. The 206 is finally back online and what happens? The owner takes it back like a petulant child. It seems the management and owner cares less about their customers and more about their needs. Steve was great and unfortunately was dealt a crappy hand as the owner doesn't have the testicular fortitude to deal with the customers themselves. Please do yourself a favor and find a good flying club and invest in it. It's these operators that take the passion away from GA flying. read more

This is a very cool spot with some great instructors. Everyone has been polite and professional with every interaction I have had. The airplanes are well maintained and are all very well equipped. The owner does a good job of keeping the place up, and I hope they are here for the long haul. A very nice local (small) business. For those who do not understand the intricacies of general aviation, please do not be surprised of your flight is delayed due to maintenance or weather, it's all about keeping you safe. I will use these folks for my instrument rating this winter. Keep up the good work! read more

I have been flying with Executive Flyers since 2005. They have a great selection of planes to rent and their online scheduling is very easy to use. The aircraft are always well-maintained and generally pretty clean. They also have a great crew of flight instructors available for new pilots and recurrent training. If you are looking to become a pilot or already have your license and need a plane to rent, I highly recommend Executive Flyers. read more

Executive Flyers - Cessna 400 - Flight Instruction Near Me - Sacramento, California

This has got to be the worst flight school in the Sacramento region. I visited their office in my search for advanced instruction. The office staff was less than marginally helpful. They could provide no information, and seemed not to be able to answer my simplest questions. There seems to be no sure way of scheduling a flight instructor. The instructors seem to come and go on their own schedule. The "rules" document that they ask you to sign is one I have never seen in any of my dealings with flight schools. I looked over their "fleet" of available aircraft. Most look to be in terrible condition. I was told that they may look bad, but that they all are "airworthy". Keep looking, there are far better schools in the region. read more

Not a happy customer - The owner is a very arrogant and rude person who brags about things they don't posses. They are not organized in teaching but systematically over-charge at any opportunity they get. I wasted a few sessions with them till I found out that they are overpriced for the quality of what they offer. If you are serious and want to stay in your budget, try to stay away from them. I can only give them 2 stars - barely! read more

I contacted Executive Flyers to take their flight course and earn my private pilot license. Steven suggested that I take a demo flight because many people change their mind throughout the flight course and waste their money. Steven said it would be $150 to reserve my slot. I promptly paid. The night before I was scheduled to go out, he called/texted me to say that I needed to reschedule because the plane needed to be broken in. I was a little disappointed with how late notice I was given, but I rescheduled with no problem. When I was supposed to fly out on the reschedule, I realized I had not received a confirmation. So I contacted Steven to make sure everything was ok. He didn't message me until 10pm the day before to let me know I most likely would not be doing the demo. Again, the communication was really disappointing. So, I just asked for a refund. I have been trying to receive my refund for a month now. I have sent multiple requests, spoken to Steven, and I just keep getting the runaround. read more

Just did a Discovery Flight with Natalie, the assistant chief pilot. She's fun to fly with and knows her stuff, too. We did some of the maneuvers that we're supposed to do to pass the pilot test including these steep turns, and stalls! I was like, woah, stalls? But she talked me through them and now I want to get my pilot license! Thanks, Natalie! read more

Had a great time, loved the flight around Sacramento. All and all an excellent experience.

My spouse is doing his PPL training here. This place is amazing and the best place to learn flying... Everyone here is very friendly and its like one big family!!! read more

I rented an aircraft from this outfit while my airplane was being worked on over at Mather. First, they were late in picking me up at Mather to do the checkout. Then, the owner of the aircraft wanted to have an oil change done, which took several hours. The mechanic lost the airplane key and it took an hour to get that under control. The aircraft was rented for a week long rental, which was fine with Executive Flyers since the aircraft is not rented. When I brought the airplane back, they insisted on 3 hours minimum per day. It seems like a ridiculous rule for an aircraft that is seldom used. It's too bad. I am a high hour flyer and need an aircraft when mine is in the shop. The operation is very unprofessional. I won't get into the personal issues I experienced while waiting for the aircraft to be ready. I do not recommend you rent an airplane from here. I don't know about any other services that they might offer, but it is very disappointing that this policy exists at the this place. Please beware! Too bad they lost out on my future business. read more
