    Discovery flight was so fun! Affordable pricing, kind, and knowledgeable instructors. Perfect gift…read moreto get for yourself or your adventurous partner.

    I am highly disappointed with Brunswick Air and I will never recommend this flight school to…read moreanyone. My story with them started on Jan 23. 2020. During the old Management/Owner. During this time, I took my first flight with 1st CFI which was about 45min, I asked a ton of questions as to who would be my flight instructor, how long it would take and the cost. I was advised that the flight instructor will depend on a few factors, My schedule and compatibility. Great! On my second flight I was introduced to 2nd CFI, an older retired military pilot, we hit it off right away, during our first flight he introduced me to a few maneuvers, Slow flight and S-turns, he then asked if I have ever flown before, I advise just as a passenger. Things went well for the next 5 flights, Then Covid hit, for 3 months the school was closed. On 5/14 /2020 the school opened up and I was called, at that time I was advised the 2nd CFI would not be coming back so they paired me with a Younger CFI, I was concerned about this and because I began with 2nd CFI and already had time and money invested. It was explained to me that my log book will tell the story and not to worry because I would not have to start all over again that the new 3rd CFI will just continue where I left off with the 2nd CFI. I said OK and began working with 3rd CFI. We had flown from 05/14 /2020to 08/24/2021 fly approximately 3 to 4 times a month with some cancellations due to weather, maintenance and other life events. On 08/24/2021 we were scheduled to fly to Conway but I was advised that it would be my last flight with 3rd CFI as he was picked up by an airline which was great for him but my concerns grew once again, because I would have to work with yet another flight instructor. The next three flights were with 4th CFI, which was one of the worst instructors I had encountered in any profession. On the third flight I cut the flight short because he was too cavalier with safety and more concerned about building hours for himself rather than instructing. I had a conversation with him and provided him some feedback and explained that I cannot fly with him. At this point I was going to go elsewhere, the original owner at the time, apologized and got a new instructor and again my concern was time spent on training and money. She introduced me to my current instructor 5th, I was with him a few times and we also hit it off well. Here comes the hammer, the original owners decided to sell and retire, I was again concerned because I had accumulated 49 hours of flight training, 13.72 ground training and spent $10,785. Again, I was told not to worry that my logbook will tell the story and not much will change. Now 60.4hrs flight time, 21.64hrs ground a total of 82.32hrs and $13,720 spent, I was once gain mislead, the new owner has implemented a new process 6 months after he took over and without notice. According to this new process I am only now 30% completed and my instructor stated that unfortunately the time I spent with the school and instructor prior only will count as experience only. I didn't understand, experience comes from flying; I am paying them to teach. This feels to me as once the new owner took over everything prior is a wash. Now I am stuck, this is horrible.

    MIL2ATP is by far the best training experience I've had, and I've had my fair share. I am so happy…read moreI made the decision to head out there to train. Don't be misled by the company name: while they specialize in helping military pilots transition to ATP and into civilian airlines, they can train anyone at any phase of their training. Personally, I finished up my commercial training, then returned to do multi-engine, and plan to head back to complete my instructor training. A few things to highlight about my time there. Tracey and Kim will probably be your first point of contact and will get you all set up. They made sure all the admin was smooth and transparent. At other places I've trained at, the admin, if any, was shady or non-existent, so this was a real breath of fresh air. Chris Kreske and the instructor team (Alex, Ryan, Franz, et al.), first of all, have great personalities! They are exceedingly knowledgeable, sociable, and genuinely interested and invested in your improvement as a pilot. They expect and train to higher standards. My instructors had flexible schedules and were happy to work with me. In commercial training, I requested 2 flights per day, with a ground between. No problem! There is also a DPE on staff (and more on call), which means checkrides get scheduled and happen with no delay. For both my commercial and multi-engine courses, once I was ready and endorsed, I came back first thing the next morning for my checkride. Amazing! The school's airplanes are clean, very well maintained, and thoroughly insured! There is maintenance on site and ready incase of any needed repairs. The aircraft fleet is deep, with plenty of planes available. You may even get to fly the Seneca II with the Robertson STOL kit installed! That said, I was very happy to fly the same airplane every session during both commercial and multi-engine. Location-wise, after take off, it takes very little time getting to the training area. Take off, get clear of the airport, and get down to business. This was a big and welcome change for me after spending most of my time training under and around Charlotte's bravo. On the ground, there are plenty of places to stay in and around Goldsboro. Near the AFB main gate there are a surprising amount of options for restaurants and grocery stores. Which brings me to the price...they have the best prices I've seen/paid, for both flying and ground instruction. No question. I am extremely happy with my experience with MIL2ATP. I only wish I had found out about them soon. If it's an available option for you, I highly recommend you make it your first choice. And don't just take my word for it, go ahead and look up their many AOPA awards!

Their online courses, dedicated staff, and multiple partnerships truly provide a "one-size fits all" solution. I signed up around Nov 2016, and despite rescheduling multiple times due to AF paperwork delays (sorry Brittany), I finally attended the flight practical portion Aug 17. Over the span of the 5-day course, we had daily academics, 3 flights and a check ride. The instructors are all very knowledgable, the aircraft are very well-maintained, and the ATP study materials are spot on. Feel free to message me with any questions; however, I highly recommend Mil2ATP if you're looking to get your ATP.
