My daughter and I have been using these guys at North Georgia Aviation for a few months, and they…read morehave been nothing but professional and courteous. They use an online scheduling app for lessons, so you are always in the know on getting your time slots set up with the correct flight instructor and aircraft. Speaking of instructors and staff, Brady Houser has been a superb flight instructor, and Ansley does a great job at the front desk and handling anything we need. It's great working with a team with professionalism and a good dose of humor. I also appreciate the fact that they keep their aircraft and hangar in such tip top shape. You always feel safe and taken care of. You can tell that these folks care about their reputation, and they go the extra mile. Give these guys a shot if you are looking for flight training or to rent an aircraft.

I found this Discovery flight after searching for a unique Christmas idea for my boyfriend, who…read morewanted to be a pilot when he was younger. I bought this in December 2016, and did the flight April 2018. We were long distance so we had been trying to plan this when he would visit. The weather was unfortunate every time, so we had to keep rescheduling. The staff here was so helpful and quick to respond in rescheduling our flight a number of times. We got to the office by PDK airport and we were greeted by the staff. They were very welcoming. He was able to do a flight simulator prior to flying. We met up with Spencer, who would be flying with us. He was very nice and a great teacher in walking through the steps of checking everything before you fly and how to actually fly the plane. He allowed my boyfriend to do most of the flying, but he was right there in case he would've had to step in or takeover with his own controls. The tour of the city was awesome and my boyfriend loved it once his nerves subsided! The weather was perfect and we went around sunset. I was so happy I got to ride along while we flew to experience it also. This would be a great date night and I would totally do this again! My boyfriend was talking about wanting his pilot license now that he did that. If you're interested in seeing what it's like to fly, you should definitely check this out!

Flight intro lessons are $79 and to me that's about the same price as a dinner and movie for 2, so not bad. The entire experience lasted an hour. 30 minutes of inspecting the plane and safety. The flight was a lil over 30 minutes and we flew by Lake Lanier. Our instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. It was an awesome experience and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a unique experience or if they are interested in becoming a pilot. I knock off one star because the plane we flew was on the older side. I believe it was made in '74. It flew smooth though but I would have preferred something at least made in the 90s..but hey that's just me!

Very well run flight school. They offer much better prices than the other options in KGVL!read more

Our pilot was nice, and we felt very comfortable with him at the helm. We saw some beautiful views of Atlanta. Neither of us had ever been in a helicopter before so it was just a really cool different experience. If you have the money, you can actually rent one of their jets for $10,000 an hour. He said it has enough fuel to take you to Europe on one tank. I'm wondering who can afford that but it sounds pretty amazing. I think if you're looking for something different to do and to see Atlanta from a different vantage point, this is your place. Thank you Prestige!
