Seeing a full lineup of Cessna 172s with brand new interiors was a refreshing change.

Going to take advantage of their summer special. Looking forward to my first flight with FWT!

I did a bit of homework before I booked a Discovery Flight as a treat for myself. I talked to a…read morecouple of aviator buddies, and all have said this place was really good. I've now been here twice, and the staff have been great both times. Initially, I came for a tour and then set up a Discovery Flight a few weeks later. I was paired up with a female CFI, and it was a really good fit. CL was amazing with me from start to finish and really took the time to show me things, and I really appreciated that. We did a flight pre check, and then both climbed in and got ready to fly. The great thing about this place is that they have all the same Cessna 172s to teach their students. And, they all use G1000s EFIS. Maintainence of planes are done in-house, and everyone talks about how regularly they upkeep their planes and all are in very good condition. It was really fun going on this Discovery Flight, and I'm hooked! The next step is to get the process going to get my PPL...so I'll be back here soon enough.

Amazing school! I was about to sign up for another larger flight school then decided last minute to…read morelook at some reviews. I'm so glad I did. I've had great experiences, expectations have been exceeded, my instructors are professional and extremely knowledgeable. Easy access to DPE's which has saved me a lot of time and stress. I've heard horror stories from other people who have gone to some of the larger schools, and I'm lucky that I can't relate. Planes are maintained really well, great avionics, safe environment to learn. I've never felt pressured to do a flight that I wasn't comfortable with while still safely expanding my limits. I love that they tailor every part of the process to the individual. My instructors, Riggs, Andrew and Kyle are top notch. Even instructors that aren't assigned to work with me are willing to help and answer questions. Alex is my go to whenever I have a question! She is probably the most knowledgeable pilot I've ever met. I can't imagine where I would be in my aviation journey if I hadn't taken a second to look at the reviews. I'm so grateful I ended up at American Flyers!

The instructor did a amazing job of answering questions and keeping us on track. Start of the first day I was nervous about passing. By the end of the third I had confidence to take the exam.

They really don't care whether you're actually ready for the check ride. It's a 'assembly line' mentality. I hadn't even practiced a single engine approach by check ride time!!

My instructor and was great to fly with. A couple of the mornings I hopped in the back seat to observe another guy getting his add-on. Highly recommend doing that if it works out - it gives you a great chance to observe and learn while not having to fly the aircraft. Spend some time before showing up reviewing the information under the "PA-30 downloads" section. Also - for those coming from out of town (like I was) - recommend you familiarize yourself with the Phoenix VFR sectional, KDVT airfield procedures, and KGEU (Glendale - we did lots of touch-and-go's there). It's extremely busy airspace, so it helps to be familiar with the area. Foreflight on the iPad was a big help. Thanks again guys ________________________________

A huge shout out to my CFI, Cal, who was awesome. He was very friendly and patient. Despite it being a basic intro course, his chill vibe made it an enjoyable experience.

Thanks, Cal and thank you Classic Air Aviation!

Apparently they are 'going to be' at KCHD...but after the 'summer' was 9/21/2024...Now a month later, their site has that message...their sim and planes I am guessing are at KCHD now..but I am guessing. I have wanted to do a training recurrency event with them...they'd be a good fit for my recency. otherthan Classic..in the entire valley NOW...zero. The valley isn't the 10+ years ago place and is 100% ANTI general aviation...it's a 'monetize' every human...place..A person wanting a 'fair' and quality IPC and FR...in a sim and then a finish up in a twin..with 3 landings...to get 'fresh' is out of luck unless that person although extremely proficient and competent...will not maybe will be charged 7x the real net cost..via "we only always do it that way" which means a IPC and FR and 3 landings will cost ya 400% because "that is how I do it"..IN Denver or Seattle or Van Nuys or Houston or Dallas, REAL metros that LOVE and protect G.A. pilots..you can have a choice of FTD's for a full IPC or a array of schools with a quality AATD and a nice twin...in a week I'd have 4 of those...not true in the Phoenix metro...it was long long ago. Even ERAU at KPRC and ASU at KIWA and UND at KIWA ..."gee man we USED to let folks fly our FTD x2 and have their IPC we won't now..only our $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ program customers TOUCH our sims." so now if you live in this area...lots of luck get re-ready for resumes out...Not happening with quality and time frame...and Twins in this area are marginally maintained or charged rates that are SAME as Van Nuys or Denver..so much for Valley of the Sun low costs of living. where a CHD studio apt. unf. is $1700 + electric per month.

Note that their Redbird is a BATD so read your Instrument rating ACS table to SEE the limited items a BATD is FAA approved to DO and COUNT for...rating and otherwise...like NO IPC's...a BATD does none of that. Next, my first visit we talked about their Aztec twin which does not often fly...and that the only MEI allowed to instruct in it is the boss/the owner...He is a high time airline pilot. My visit days ago "we sold the Aztec we have NO plan to buy or lease or in any way add/bring on ANY twin again". So no multi ratings and no multi recurrency like 3 multi engine landings to be 90 day multi current. Right now in the valley, this is common. AT KCHD same story, Chandler Air Service has a Aztec but it's been in a major annual for updates too for over a year and their (a week ago) Chief flight instructor says it'll be in it's 1+ year of annual a lot longer...Few schools have a twin and none have a REAL twin- over 200hp and conventional spin props...So if you hope to fly a Gulfstream or a Challenger jet FAR91 or FAR135 forget that. No good operator of FAR91 or FAR135 high end jets wants a pilot who cannot handle a engine out when it's 250 or 350hp and the props are conventional ie: both spin the same direction....so that Vmc is a big deal...Like is the case with a Aztec or Baron or CE310...or a Chieftain...If you are skilled at engine out in such twins, you will be considered for a SIC job with a operator with Lears and Falcons and maybe a older Gulfstream...Other than you buddy being the owner or Chief pilot of the jet, no, you won't get the job with Duchess or Seminole or Twin Comanche hours...not going to happen. 2025 folks
