Here is the review I sent the owner: After reviewing 30 different schools in the West quite exhaustively, making a massive spreadsheet, I've decided to go with Bountiful Flight! For your information, here are the things that make you stand out based on my research and experience: 1. Your rates (both rental and instruction) are great, ranked #6 out of 30. Places with better rates are generally very small, some with only one or two instructors. Such smaller places may have a harder time accommodating a student in an accelerated program. They would also be harder for finding a flight buddy to share time and cut costs. 2. You are one of only 8 that has a 152, which allows for a cheaper option. This is a big plus for people like me. 3. You have an AATD simulator, which means up to 50 hours toward commercial are at a discount, instead of 10 on a BATD. 4. Your simulator rate is a little better than average at an hourly rate but is #1 if you pay for monthly unlimited at $150 and work fast. 5. Despite very reasonable instruction rates, you pay your CFI well! This means I can stay and work rather than find another school and city. Specifically, 3 schools have their CFI on a nice annual salary, but of the schools that pay hourly, only 2 claim starting pay of $30/hr. 3 others claim you can work up to $30/hr. The rest are less or chose not to say. 6. You respond to your emails and the response is always helpful! Having been in constant contact with 30 different schools, you were definitely among the most helpful, if not the THE most helpful. Your responses were to the point and very practical. I think communication is important. It also shows the kind of person we will be working with. read more

Bountiful Flight has been great to work with the managers are responsive for the most part, I am still missing some items that were not included in my flight bag when I originally purchased it and have sense purchased those items elswhere. Jarred and Kelcey have been great instructors teaching me and building my confidence along the way. Some suggestions however. Give your cfis more instruction about how the business operates and what they need to know so they can properly inform the students. I routinely ask questions about non flight related issues and am told they dont have the answers. My instructors are great at teaching me to fly and could be great at knowing the business of your business if you would properly train them about your prodicals rules policies etc. When I started at bountiful flight I was placed with an instructor and a type of airplane (diamond da40) Because my weight and my instructors weight was to much for the sport cruiser and there were 2 of the diamonds available. As i moved on one of the diamonds was sent to Ogden leaving only one diamond to fight for time in. I was to far in to simply change to a cesna at this point so I'm fighting tooth and nail scheduling out as far in advance as possible to try and get my private licence cert completed. Scheduling brings me to another drawback. Figure out how to link the schedule pro calender with my Google calender we are all busy living in a technology run world schedule pro needs to get on board... I love my time at bountiful flight thus far and have recommended and will continue recommending them to anyone who wants to fly. read more

When I found FLT, I was looking for a program that would give me the biggest advantages, the safest aircraft, and the best price. FLT Academy has checked all those boxes. They have an incredible partnership with Skywest. My wife said I couldn't fly at a school with airplanes that didn't have parachutes so FLT's Sportcruisers really fit the bill. Their touchscreen avionics, ADSB In & Out, and autopilot make cross-countries and time-building a breeze. Plus, they only burn like 5 gallons per hour, so they're very economical. Overall, I've been impressed with the aircraft, the instructors, and the speed of the program. I'm a dad to 2 (soon to be 3) kids, with a wife, a mortgage and a full-time job and I've been able to go from 20 hrs of flight time to 260 hrs of flight time, earning my private pilot, instrument rating and commercial license, in about 10 months. Younger guys without those kinds of responsibilities have done it even quicker (~7 months). Honestly, I can't recommend FLT highly enough. They do intro flights in their rad little Cruisers. Take a flight and check it out. read more

Dishonest billing. They advertise $199 high performance check out flight. Received an invoice for over $250, so I called to inquire before I paid. They took a message and said Shawn would get back to me. No call, but my card was charged fraudulently. Called again, Shawn agreed to refund, but been a week and no refund. They may claim it was an accident, but I have given them ample opportunities to make it right, so now it feels intentional. If it was an accident, then being this sloppy with something as simple as billing, makes me wonder if their fleet gets the proper attention. I had to tap the attitude indicator to get it to work. The flight went fine, but don't give these thieves your credit card. Sorry Bountiful, you requested a Yelp review. Just being honest... read more

My wife bought a 30 minute intro flight for my birthday. I arrived at the airport 15 minutes early, and within 10 minutes I was climbing into the airplane. The instructor was great (he even let me take the controls once we were in the air). It was an amazing experience because not only did I learn that I LOVE flying, but also because everyone at Bountiful Flight was so friendly, professional, and fun. If you've ever thought about learning to fly, you owe it to yourself to check out Bountiful Flight. Not only do they have great flight programs and great planes, their employees and instructors are top notch. read more

This school is well managed and keeps students moving. I am not apart of the cadet program, although I have seen many students go through the program successfully. I have been challenged more than ever before and the reward is something you cannot beat. I am very proud of myself, thanks to Bountiful Flight. My instructors were Christian and Jared. I would recommend both anytime. I also was a finanance student and I recommend that to everyone if you do not have the money up front. It forces you to keep going when the training gets tough. Holds you accountable. If your dream is to fly, don't wait. read more

We did the 30 minute flight simulation and had the best time! Tyler was our flight instructor and did an amazing job! He was so patient with me (even when I crashed the plane after only being in the air for about 10 seconds! ) haha! He was easy to understand and so nice. The simulation makes you feel like you're actually flying. It was so cool! This is a must if you are considering getting your pilots license. It was so fun for me, who just wanted the experience as well! I'd love to go back and do it again! Thanks again Tyler and everyone at Bountiful Flight! I'll recommend you to everyone!!! read more

Great. Friendly, and one of the lowest ways to obtain training. I have not yet got my Private done, yet I will be going here to finish. I was doing classes at SLCC and racking up $$$$$$$$$$$$$ loans. Now I can do it on my own time and at way less money! THESE GUYS LET YOU DO THIS & Pay as you learn. / Go. GREAT way to obtain flight school with little $$$ Tons of dudes at SLCC are already transfering to B Flight. There is another in Ogden I hear is low cost as well, yet I am in Salt Lake and don't want to drive that far so B flight is the way to go! read more

Great experience and great staff at Bountiful Flight. I did one of my ratings at bountiful in addition to other training, and I highly recommend them for any of your ratings. The instructors and staff are very well organized, helpful and are genuinely interested in your success as a student and pilot. The school is very efficient at getting results that I haven't seen at other flight schools. They were also very accommodating to my training schedule, which is rare in this industry. thanks again Bountiful flight. read more

here we are again with more issues. I quit their program over a year ago due to their lack of organization. I just received another threatening voicemail about how I'm going to be charged 100.00 for a badge I turned in when I quit. So sick of this company and its lack of organization. Do yourself a favor and don't go here. Oh If you want to see what else is wrong visit the ogden website, there are other reviews over there. The owner has yelp delete multiple listings even though it's the same company. read more

We loved this! Our sister gave us a gift card to Bountiful flight for a Christmas present. We arrived early, and Travis met with us. He was right on time, and made us feel really comfortable. It was a great experience! Travis got us in the air in a small plane then let us have a turn flying for about 5 minutes! Travis was great but the experience of flying around Bountiful and seeing Lagoon, the LDS temple, and all the farm land was really cool. I would definitely recommend as a gift for a friend. read more

Took my son to Bountiful Flight so he could experience the introductory flight and we had an awesome time. His amount of flying experience was very limited so I was a little nervous of how he'd do... but our flight instructor, Britton, did a great job of explaining the flight details and letting him get a good feel of the controls. My son walked away absolutely thrilled and wanting to fly more. Much thanks to Britton Howell and Bountiful Flight for such a fun experience! read more

Just took my wife on our valentines gift flight with the best pilot, Denton! Very laid back and super informative, and educated on how and why our Cessna 172 does what it does! Was a smooth takeoff and flight all around antelope island with a glimpse of four buffalo! A flyover of SLC International was also an added treat! A landing as smooth as the takeoff and we were back safe and sound. Thanks again for a great flight and allowing some "control" of the airplane! read more

I am a old helicopter pilot and before I trusted a pilot with my Granddaughter's life I checked them out! I checked their skills and how many hours training and how many hours the pilots actually had behind the stick. Plus what skills they had as trainers. I also check out their aircraft and maintenance records. Bountiful flight passed with "flying" colors and my granddaughter had a wonderful time! If you want to fly or go to flight school this is the place. read more

I have flown at several different flight schools in Utah, and Bountiful Flight is hands down the best one. After several years of not flying, I decided it was time to start fulfilling my childhood dream to fly for a living. I came to Bountiful Flight, told them my goals, and through the excellent instruction that I received, they took a guy who had not flown a plane in 8 years to CFI in 2 months!!! I now work with the best bunch of guys and gals on the planet. read more

I started training with Bountiful Flight (now FLT) back in 2012, took a few year break and came back to FLT Academy for their accelerated program and earned my ratings, I have seen the growth of the school and in my opinion it is the best place to flight train. From the loan options, locations, aircraft and now they offer individual rating training as well as zero to hero training, it is now a training environment for any aviation goals one might have. read more

Absolutely amazing experience. I bought my three kids intro flight vouchers for Christmas. The flight instructor was so great. He was funny, friendly, and informative. My 16 year old and 13 year old daughters had more fun than they imagined. My 11 year old son was so nervous to go, but said once he was in the plane, before it was even started, he was fine and knew this "guy knew what he was doing." I would definitely recommend Bountiful Flight. read more

This airport is the best! The festival they held earlier in June was family friendly, inexpensive and they even took my daughter up in a plane! The employees here are super helpful and want everyone to get as much out of flying as possible. I would highly recommend learning here, flying here, storing your aircraft here, taking lessons here, come to the specialty days or even just stopping in for flight retail items. A great place to be! read more

Bountiful Flight is an AWESOME FBO. They run a tight ship with a great, self-booking system, well maintained planes, and a friendly and helpful staff. My checkout flight with Nate Stoddard was quick and concise, and he fully explained and answered all my questions about the way the rentals work. I've rented from four different FBO's in two different states, and Bountiful Flight is definitely the front runner. Five stars!! read more
