I rented one of their Diamond DA40s for the first time for a weekend trip with my family. I was…read morethoroughly impressed with the professionalism, quality of instruction (I was checked out with Tony L.), ease of admin (scheduling, paperwork), and quality of the aircraft they own. Chris and Hazel were a pleasure to work with and made coordinating my travel needs easy. I learned their aircraft are leased which results in superior aircraft for training and rental usage with maintenance being kept up to date unlike other flight schools. I strongly encourage you to consider Dare to Dream to pursue your training / general aviation interests - you won't be disappointed!

Florida Aviation Academy is one of the best flight schools in the US. I should know, I tried two…read moreother "well known " schools. Those schools didn't care if I got a good aviation education or not. They just wanted my money. I feel so lucky that I found Florida Aviation Academy. Carrie and Jack are truly hands on and make sure ever student is getting the attention and flying education they deserve. My instructor, Jeremy was amazing and I am progressing as a commercial pilot with a great airline. I def recommend this school to anyone who wants to become a commercial pilot. Not just a commercial pilot, but a pilot who is respected because of their skills.

Whether you are looking to get your PPL, your commercial multi engine or another rating or endorsement, their flight school offers everything from Private Pilot's license all the way up to the ATP license. This is a one stop shop for all aspiring Pilots! This school is highly recommendable. Oliver

The folks over at North Star Flight Academy were unbelievable accommodating to me when I was…read morevisiting the area. I called a long list of flight schools and FBOs starting south of Miami and moving up the coast and they were the first people to show me they gave a damn about my business. They searched around for life vests and headsets for me all over the airport and made sure everything was set up when I showed up to get checked out in the airplane. As for 875CD, it was a solid 172, the interior was simple, but one of the nicest I've seen for a while. I highly recommend these guys and their aircraft. Now if only the cranky old guy in the KFXE tower would stop thinking he was running JFK, then the experience would have been perfect.

I spent a career as a military attack pilot and have been flying GA for over 3500 hours, so I…read moresearched long and hard when I needed to get an add-on multi-engine rating. There were several things that were critical to me: 1) well maintained aircraft 2) advanced cockpit/glass panel and 3) exceptionally good instruction I found all 3 at Berichi Aviation so I traveled from Virginia to knock out my add-on in short order. I had all the necessary info ahead of time which meant that we were effectively training right away. Charlie relied on his experience to assess my abilities and created a bespoke syllabus that eliminated unnecessary time or cycles. The bottom line is that I was over-prepared for my checkride, which in my experience, is exactly what I would have expected.

I usually begin with either a compliment or complaint, and this time I will give a word of advice…read moreso you rate it more highly than I did: Check the Miami forecast beforehand!! If there are storm clouds or lightening THEY WILL CANCEL ON YOU, as reschedule your flight. Otherwise, this is a 5-star experience. My boyfriend bought me one of the greatest experience: I flew a plane over the Everglades!!! The instructor is all about safety, she is also nonjudgmental and polite. She handled take off and landing, but I got to control everything else. Banking was definitely the best part :D

I had this English guy Rob teach me the very basics of how to fly an airplane before I went for a…read moreflight with my friend and then he let me take the controls in the air and I almost felt like I knew what I was doing. Rob was extremely experienced and patient and made the whole event one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done. The landing was so smooth. I didn't even know we had landed. I would love to come back and fly sometime, but I live in California so unless I'm visiting my friend again, I won't be seeing you guys but hopefully one day soon.
