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

What a fantastic flight school!! The owners Tom and Jenine…read moreare the nicest people you can meet. Their planes are in excellent condition and equipped with Garmin 430's which is great for GPS approaches. 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.

He was able to squeeze the plane in on short notice when we had squawks grounding the plane and his rates have always been completely reasonable.

We will likely be in the area when we come due on our next annual, and we will definitely have him do it as well as any repairs we need while we're in town.

My son had the most unpleasant experience with ATP Flight School…read more They simply do not live up to their promises and the school resembles a bait and switch tactic. At ATP, you have to pay in full prior to reaching certain parts of your training. So, by the time you get to the Flight Instructor School in Jacksonville, you must have all your billing taken care of. Sounds simple enough, but wait...read on. ATP is somewhat accommodating (with a bit of prodding) during the initial training events. However, once you reach CFI school, suddenly their willingness of help is now gone. Zip, nada, zilch, nothing, no help. You see they only pass around 30% of the students that participate in the program which mean they fail at least 70% of the students. ATP promises you a job as a flight instructor once you complete the program. Just calculating the numbers alone, you can see that this promise is impossible for them to honor. They can't promise all of the flight instructors a job, there simply aren't that many positions. If you hiccup just once, you are told "you better improve soon, or you are gone". So, you are given two attempts to live up to their impossible criteria. After the second attempted failure, you are sent home. Nooooo... let's teach you what you need to know. Nooooo... we will help you through this. No, they simply send you packing. And, of course, they don't give any of your money back. Small claims court? Maybe, but a hassle. The 100 day program is simply unattainable. The 100 day program really means it is at least a 200 day program. You see they simply are unorganized and they don't plan ahead whatsoever. A quick example: You have your instrument written tests done, you have been signed off by your instructor, you feel ready, you have studied hard, you have practiced hard. Now you need an examiner. In FXE, they only have two examiners that cost around $500-$800 cash only. One examiner is only available certain days. The other only does certain ratings. So, you may have to wait two weeks before seeing the examiner. They should plan ahead, you might say. Well, "plan ahead" and ATP cannot be used in the same sentence. They simply wing it. So, my son is devastated and now on the road trying to find a flight school to finish up his flight instructor ratings. I would not recommend ATP Flight School. Signed A 30 year airline pilot
