It's across from the cell phone parking lot right as you enter the airport on you're right hand side. When you pull in, the parking lot needs to be fixed because there where lots of huge pot holes. If I wasn't driving the truck it would have been bad because you cant see them. So watch out if you have nice rims or in general. The instructor was already outside which was nice because he took our paperwork straight to the owner since no one was at the front desk. They took care of use right away which was nice. Someone walked in for the school side of the company and the owner finished taking care of us regardless of the fact that the man kept interrupting and trying to get his paper reviewed. I always appreciate good customer service so plus there. The building itself needs some up grades and the A/C must have been broken because it was sweaty hot in there. The tour was only suppose to be 30mins but ended up being a nice hour which was great. My husband got to fly and pretty much do everything except actually land the plane which was awesome...he loved it. I would use them again for something like this. As far as the school side I can't really say what they off but the flying tour was great!

I got instructor Tylor who failed to do proper procedures/aircraft briefing and I had to file complaint with the office. The office used it against me despite having all the facts/witness presented to them regarding what happened. I have brought all the problems I encountered with instructor to the office attention , but the office would not look in to the instructor and decided to blame me customer/pilot . . (With over 700 hours total flight time). If you will have a problem with this school don't dare to speak up because you be the blame and it will be used against you :( I did have aircraft check outs done previously and instructors did proper job to make you familiar and comfortable with aircraft , but not at this school. I also asked twice to give me a call to discuss the situation and they would avoid communication and wont give me a chance with another instructor/aircraft either. Also Aircraft Cessna N904CP this school used to do the check out some of the equipment did not work at all, pilot door wont open to get out from the aircraft(HAZARD), Radio on Com2 is a problem and you cannot hear controllers or be able to communicate at all. Aircraft itself was in bad condition and I brought this to the instructor attention, he disregard it and said I failed communication. This review for people to be AWARE of this place.

Greg is not only the owner, but he is one of the instructors and maintenance people in charge of keeping the planes up and running. He was very kind, patient and professional. I really enjoyed the non-rushed, no hard sale approach he takes.

I completed my recurrent training at Aircraft Simulator Training (AST) and wanted to give my two…read morecents about it, especially since I also recently I did my initial somewhere else. I apologize for the long post, but now that I can compare facilities, I believe this is a critical subject which deserves attention. In a nutshell, if you are on the fence trying to decide where to do your initial/recurrent, STOP!, do yourself a favor and try the people who will really teach (among many other things) how to survive an engine failure after rotation (for you AND your aircraft). Having recently done my 421 initial somewhere else, I was intrigued about AST's emergency training, so I decided to make a trip to Burnet, TX and give them a try. Oh boy! was I in for a life experience. Everything I learned from Rick McGuire and Chick Crisefi has one, and one purpose only, to give me the knowledge and techniques to keep me and my passengers safe. This is a no BS course, taught by people who not only fly, but own these airplanes (they are parked right there, by the simulator building in the hangar), this is real "advanced" training. So, let's get to specifics on why I believe this training to so good: 1. They have mastered a technique for aircraft stabilization on the most critical phase of flight. After practicing with Chris over and over the "how", and understanding the "why", I realized what I had been taught before would not necessarily be applicable in real life. Time is of essence, and what one does right then and there, will be crucial between destroying the aircraft after running an airport fence down a ravine or flying back to land. 2. The aircraft systems and engine ground training are completely designed to understand what the AC is SAYING to you when something goes wrong (Rick is an aircraft whisperer...). Everything I learned on the mechanic side, was to understand what would happen and understand the consequences of a system failure, and specially what to do about it. More than teaching you systems and how they work, Rick teaches you how to THINK when something goes wrong, and thus, reach the right conclusion. 3. The Simulators are new and precise, they are motion simulators, the graphics are fast and very accurate. 4. Last but not least, now I can really appreciate how important is to receive training from pilots who have flown and are current on the aircraft one is training for. Before you do any simulator training, ASK your instructor when was the last time he or she flew your AC make and model, you be surprised as there are instructors teaching simulator training, who have not flown the real AC in decades (or never), simply put this is dangerous. Just to clarify, Chris not only taught me what to do when something goes wrong right after takeoff, but on every phase of flight, VMC and IMC, with and without bad weather (these motion simulators really move when in turbulence!). Being new to the 421C, my personal choice is to fly accompanied by a relative pilot who has hundreds of hours on this AC, this for the foreseeable future, however he first needs to do his recurrent, and of course he will be doing it at AST. I am looking forward to retrain with them in the near future and greatly recommend others to do so.
