What a wonderful experience !…read more I booked a flight lesson on VirginExperiences and had no issues receiving information / confirmation after booking, and when I had questions. It was very easy to get to the location once you turn into the street! It was affordable and fun; our instructor Daniel was very informative and easy going! I felt at ease during the whole flight! He was professional and calm which I always appreciate when learning new things because it can be stressful when you know your life is on the line ! You come in ten minutes before your lesson, sign a waiver, fly and if you have any payment left due you should pay at the end, we paid in full through the website. Everything took less than 10min from our arrival to get into the plane! Very laid back and easy experience

I have done business many times with both entities and have have my experiences far above average and I have a great fondness for the line personnel. I am not disagreeing with the other reviewer other than a review was posted on the wrong business. Fly into KHEG and meet the crew yourself.

This includes a larger fleet of well-equipped and well maintained aircraft, training aids and supplements to guide students along their journey, and a simulator to practice and maintain proficiency. JAXAERO also offers the benefits of a small flight school. The greatest assets that the school has are the people that work and train there. No matter where you are in your aviation journey, no matter your goals or aspirations, you will be treated kindly and cared for at a personal level. Rather than being viewed as a number, like students are at larger flights schools, JAXAERO meets you at your needs and helps you along your aviation journey. Ben and John, who own and manage the company, are present, helpful, and encouraging. The flight instructors go above and beyond what is required to help you succeed. Everyone has gone "out of their way" to help me along my journey. Personal connections with other students can also be made more easily than at a larger school, and you can work and study with students that are in the same phase of training. Finally, JAXAERO is more willing and capable to work with your unique schedule to help you achieve your goals whether your training is a full-time commitment or a part time hobby. I wish that I had found this school sooner, I and would not want to be training anywhere else. Whether you are located in Jacksonville or live many states away, JAXAERO is the best school you are going to find.

I started flying here last year to earn my private pilot license. A few months ago, I was on a solo…read moreflight and had a hard landing that resulted in damage to the plane. It affected my confidence as a pilot and also I had a lot of (unnecessary) financial stress caused by the school and the owner Seth. If you are a new pilot seeking guidance and support, this is not the school to go to! In terms of their actual flight training, I can look back and realize that their instruction was very lackluster. Safety was not a top priority, rather it felt like everyone at the school was there to socialize. Now that I have experience at a new school, I can reflect on policies/procedures that were not implemented at JBA. One of the biggest things being that I didn't have an official personal weather minimums on paper. Frankly, I was a new pilot and didn't know how important this is for solo flights, but JBA instructors failed to teach me this. In fact, the morning before the flight where I had my hard landing, I had texted my instructor expressing concern about the weather/winds and was told I "would be fine". I was also taught to "salvage" my landings when I bounced, and there wasn't a strong emphasis on go arounds. This nonchalant attitude was pretty standard at JBA, which is dangerous when operating an aircraft (especially a student). Additionally, the financial turmoil that JBA and specifically the owner of the school, Seth, caused me was one of the worst parts of this experience. I had the insurance that the school REQUIRED me to have, so I thought that everything would be okay with the school when I had to use said insurance. I was very wrong because Seth came after me personally and sent me a bill for $81,000. He kept calling/texting my personal number even though I made it clear that I wanted everything to be handled with the agent assigned to my case through email. He also kept approaching me at the gym where I regularly go to (and he occasionally goes to) and tried to talk to me about personal matters in a very public setting. Seth's unethical handling of the aircraft damage claim and questionable billing was very disappointing. My conclusion for JBA is that its flight program is severely inadequate and does not promote safety. My experience is proof of that, and Seth's conduct and attitude further confirm my exceedingly low opinion of his operation.
