Still in training, but so far it's been a great experience. You'll definitely be challenged, but the lessons are worth it. Proud to be a student pilot here!
Highly recommended! I was able to experience flying a plane through their Discovery Flight, and they even let me try being a co-pilot. The instructors are professional and supportive, making learning both exciting and comfortable.
The aircraft are impeccably maintained and kept clean both inside and out, which really gives you confidence as a student pilot. It's obvious they follow strict cleanliness standards.
