For the past 60 days I have been researching flight schools in the bay area to obtain my sport…read morepilot license. Not every flight school in the area offers this new, exciting, limited license and I am very thankful that Red Sky Aviation offers it. I had a few e-Mail conversations with Red Sky including speaking with the owner Bob. This past weekend my wife and I visited the flight school and I spoke with Laura who is the daughter of the owner. She was nice and helpful and made arrangements for me to speak with a former student and my prospective flight instructor Pete. I was so happy Red Sky quickly connected me both with their former student and flight instructor. A company that says what they will do and actually deliver are already leap years ahead of many. Pete my future flight instructor sounded great! We had a very nice phone conversation and he seems to fit my ideal profile of a teacher perfectly. I live near San Jose and while Livermore can be a Bay area traffic h*ll of a destination depending on the time of day, I am looking very forward to begin my training with Pete on the Aeronca Champion at Red Sky Aviation!

The initial day I had scheduled didn't workout as the weather was not good for flying. Carsten helped me reschedule my discovery flight. I had a blast with my instructor Allie!

Highly recommend her if you're looking to obtain certifications through this club!

A business that does not have the common courtesy to commit or to just say sorry we can't help ANY pilot that wants to use their own airplane for any type of instruction or review. A bit of honesty would have saved 3 days. Moved on and will not be contacting them again. EVER.

Fast forward to 2022, and not flying since 2010, I am working on passing my flight review with him. It's been a long time, but I am so happy to train and get current with such a top notch instructor. His patience, knowledge and focus on safety is unparalleled. I couldn't think of a better instructor to train with, and that is why I reached out to him to become current. I've attached a review my mom made when he was an instructor at Tradewinds Aviation. My mom has since passed due to cancer, but reading her review regarding Cecil brings a smile to my face. Keep up the great work Cecil, you are the best! Thank you for your commitment to your students and the aviation community! You will not find a better instructor!

Understand that less than 20% of students actually achieve their PPL. The challenges are cost, availability of instructors and planes, weather, instructor objectives, personal availability, and other minor obstacles. Instruction quality can be both lacking or superior depending on who is teaching. If your goal is to get your PPL quickly, a flight school is a bad choice. Do some research before you decide. I didn't and I've spent over 4 years, $90K, and have had 5 instructors in pursuit of my PPL. If you're not in a rush and are just curious, it will work for you. It isn't easy and requires commitment. Get some guidance and explore the alternatives. Instructors have to complete your training and sign you off for your check ride. If they leave for better opportunities, you have to start over. At $300 and hour for rental and instructor cost, it gets expensive fast.
