Of course in part…read morefrom the rush of flying at an elevation of 6000 feet in a one engine, four seater Cessna, but also with the instruction and professionalism provided by Alliance. When I reached the vicinity of the Front Range Airport, I easily found Alliance on the right. I was greeted by two instructors. My instructor who turned out to be the owner's father was very friendly and easy going. That was helpful in easing my nerves some before the flight. We briefly discussed some of the details around the lesson and then went out to the hangar to check out the plane I was to fly. Now that I am writing this so late, I forgot my instructors name! Anyway, he walked me around the plane and described it a bit and gave me a general overview of aviation and how a small plane maneuvers. Next he asked me to get in the plane so he can get my seat adjusted and show me the controls. He named all of the controls and explained what they are for. After all of this, he pulled the plane out of the hangar so that we could get ready for our flight. I actually got to fly the plane! My instructor told me what buttons to push and directed me on maneuvering the plane each step of the way. He was such a good instructor, I was able to control the plane from start to finish with the exception of the landing. He allowed me to line the plane up to the landing strip and he took over until the plane was settled on the runway. My total flight time was one hour and this hour was counted as instruction toward my flight lessons to get my license. After we landed, we walked to the terminal to purchase my pilot log where he notated my first hour instruction. There were other pilots sitting in the terminal cafe chatting over coffee or lunch. It had a feeling of an exclusive club of pilots. The whole experience was exhilarating and so informative. I was on a high for a few days after! My instructor again was very down-to-earth and easy to work with. He, btw, was a pilot for Continental his entire career therefore, very knowledgeable. I recommend this flight school if you are looking to become a pilot or just want to take an hour flight for fun.

There were multiple instances where they would insist on flying when conditions were not safe. I think they are incentivized to not cancel. A perfect example of this was an incident that occurred recently where a flight instructor refused to give way to firefighting aircraft in McClellan, CA. I actually emailed the company owner, Shane, to bring this to his attention and he was extremely hostile and used profanities in his response. There are lots of places to get flight instruction, don't settle for a place like this.

I cannot comment on anything to do with the firefighting operations. However, I have been flying…read morewith them for several months and have made great progress. I had flown with two other flight schools and while I became proficient landing, they let me short-circuit my patterns. Here, I've learned to fly the correct airspeeds and vertical descent speeds in the pattern, so I have less to fix on final. Also, the previous school had dropped me instead of working with me to improve my traffic awareness. I have greatly improved my awareness flying with Aero-Sphere. Also, even the previous school had lots of planes and instructors, it always seemed the plane I had scheduled for that day was either down for maintenance or I had been pre-empted and wasn't going to fly. Flying with Aero-Sphere has been much more reliable. I've had two lessons scrubbed because of alternator failure, which is beyond their control, and occasionally scrubbed because of weather, also beyond their control. My preferred plane is N738HD, it's a 180 HP Skyhawk and gets up and goes. At this altitude, N734EQ is underpowered at 160 HP, but as long as you don't use full flaps, you'll be OK. EQ was converted from tailwheel to nosewheel so is a little more sensitive to rudder inputs than the usual Skyhawk, but that is a plus, especially if you plan to get your tailwheel endorsement. The best way to taxi EQ is to press the rudder pedal, relax the pressure and wait for it to respond, just like a tailwheel plane.

If you're looking to get the coveted Airline Transport Pilot rating, or a type rating, prior to or…read moreeven without going to fly for the airlines, this is definitely the place to go. Please reread that first sentence. I had passed my ATP/CPT course a few years ago, but still needed to do the checkride. Initially I was going to do my checkride, like several of buddies had, in an ancient twin. In Vegas the ride would be in a Beechcraft Travel Air, built before America's entry into the Vietnam War, too small for a 6-3 man like me, hotter than BLM hatred, with a tiny little Garmin GNS-430 for navigation that is partially obscured by the throwover yoke. The cockpit was so small that a control check left my knees feeling like I had been roughed up by loan shark debt collectors. Combined with the Vegas climate, the heat was so bad that I had lost 3 pounds before the run-up, and actually kept a towel around my neck to keep the sweat out of my eyes once airborne. I never got comfortable and confident enough in this old bird to want to fly it on the most important FAA checkride of my flight career. I then looked at picking up my ATP certificate flying a slightly bigger Piper Apache based out of Wichita, but the trainer/owner was a screaming former Luftwaffe fighter pilot. Needless to say I did not respond well to being demeaned by a sociopathic German martinet and his Planet of Apes approach to aviation instruction. And the real trouble with the Travel Air and the Apache is that they are worthless when it comes to engine out missed approaches, which is a mandatory ACS maneuver on the ATP evaluation. In these old birds, the reality is that if you actually were to lose an engine, you'd better have a runway close by because you won't get far. The angry Berliner mentioned above even said if you get to approach minimums with an actual engine out and the field is not in sight, your best chance of survival is to violate Federal Aviation Regulations and continue the approach and pray you can find the runway or Target parking lot to plop down on. This is a real world consideration. As as many of you mid-western pilots already know, Kansas gets foggier than Joe Biden's memory. So to get my ATP certificate, I finally turned to Flight Training International. I so wish I had gone there first. Transitioning from the tired and smelly flight decks of Seminoles, Travel Airs, Aztecs, and even Twin Diamonds, to a gleaming new Airbus A320 full motion simulator is like going from a ratty skateboard to a Harley Davidson Electra Glide. Yes, it costs more, but the training is well worth it and you will leave FTI as a better pilot, poised for the future, and with your ATP certificate in hand. FTI has two locations: Miami and Denver. I chose the latter. The staff there is incredible, and they will work tirelessly with you to help you get you that certificate. I owe special thanks to my instructor and check airman, both of whom flew full military careers, and then two decades each as airline captains. They know their stuff, they are patient and extremely knowledgeable professionals, and because of their efforts, along with the rest of the staff at FTI Denver, it was the best aviation training experience of my career. Thank you FTI.

These comments that imply that the staff are disrespectful and/or rude are most clearly an intentional attack against the school for some petty reason. These people decide to lie or exaggerate their experiences because their absurdly delicate ego got hurt. Here is the truth. Front Range has very helpful, very friendly, and very professional staff. Their planes are older. However, they are in incredible shape despite their age. I find no more discrepancies in front range airplanes than brand new airplanes from other places such as other FBO's and Civil Air Patrol. If you are looking for a flight school with well maintained airplanes, professional staff, and an environment conducive to learning the skills needed to be a safe and proficient pilot, I'd highly recommend Front Range Flight School!
