If you have ever wondered what it's like to takeoff and land a commercial airliner, you've come to…read morethe right place. For a couple of years, I've been going through Microsoft's Flight Simulator X missions on my laptop and have always wanted to know how to really fly a jet. My pilot instructor, Jordan explained the controls and we were off. Jordan was excellent. He helped make the best use of our hour together. I only wish AviaSim were located close to Clearwater/St Petersburg/Tampa so I could avoid Orlando's traffic. Though experience with Flight Simulator X helped tremendously, Jordan would get anyone wanting to learn up in the air. Unlike the computer application, flying the Airbus A320 requires using both hands to manipulate the equipment. This is an experience I'm never going to forget. I hope to do it again... with Jordan. I will never forget this experience with AviaSim. Bring your camera with you... we're talking serious bragging rights here!

Its good to be working a pattern or taxi on the ground - ex MCO, it's how you get good. Very odd how when you look at reviews you see Forex trading reviews mixed in.....

Warning : you should not use this company. I callled and…read morelet them know that I would be arriving in Florida for four days and asked would this be adequate time to complete the five hours of flight training. I was assured by The female at the desk that this would be no problem. I arrived on time each day and prepared for flight training. I received 2.9 hours of training and then I was informed they had pre-booked charters and would not be able to accommodate me the rest of those hours. I spoke with the lady at the front desk about this situation and we agreed that I would be billed only for the hours received. I received a partial refund and then within two hours the refund was taken back out of my account and I received a text message from the company that stated the owner didn't feel comfortable giving me a partial refund. This company was fully aware of my situation and did not honor their word. This company took my money under false pretenses, and payment was made for services NOT RENDERED!!!! I immediately called my credit card company and explain the situation and started a dispute. Anyone looking to get there sea plane ratings I would advise from my experience do not use this company. They are not a reputable company and they lack honesty and integrity. Next day I went to Jack Brown's seaplane base in winter haven Florida I was amazed and I found the staff was amazing and most of all had integrity. After two hours of flight time the Cfi was ready to sign me off, but we could not get a DPE that day and I was flying out the next morning. I found Jack Brown's Sea Plane base to be everything that you could ever ask for in a company for Sea Plane operation. I will be going back to Jack Brown's to fly again in the future highly recommend Jack Brown.

Wow, what a blast. This was a suprise birthday gift given to my father and I by our spouses and…read morewhat a surprise it was. They arranged for the two of us to take "The Harris Chain of Lakes bar hop". We met our pilot "Paul" in Mount Dora. A very professional and knowledge guide with a Jimmy Buffet kinda quality that made us very comfortable from the start. We managed five stops on our tour staying long enough at each for a drink and a quick bite. If you think pulling up to a bar in a limo is cool you really need to try this. There was absolutely no pressure on us. We could stay as long as we wanted but we where more interested in the flying than the drinking. We didn't know how beautiful and interesting central Florida is from the air until now. Each jump resulted in a 15 to 20 minute flight to the next bar. Paul even threw a quick touch and go in on our final jump. This was a unforgettable trip that we will be talking about for a very long time. I definitely recommend them and may be back for another one of their tours in the near future . Cheers till then.

We started with flying over the beautiful central Florida lakes, then we flew over the gulf coast. It was a thrilling and unforgettable experience that my family and I will always look back on with fond memories. This is definitely an awesome experience that we really enjoyed.

I highly recommended this for people on vacation in the area looking for a fun experience.

SIMCOM's instructors were professional, knowledgeable on sim scenarios, friendly and apologetic at times. I had two different seat support who were sick during my sim training. My sim instructor and the program manager were so apologetic but I had a positive attitude and it happens. Glad they're okay and felt better. Everything was handled professionally and my checkride was only delayed by a day. The CJ3 program manager, Mike was always professional and maintained good communications during the process. This was my second initial training so this process wasn't as stressful then at the airline level which I experienced, just learning a new aircraft. Always come prepared before training. Look forward to recurrent.
