Flying Academy Brno

I was very lucky to join Flying Academy I started in the summer of 2016. Within 3 months I managed to complete my Private Pilot Licence . Very professional staff who tried everything to make their students succeed. The instructors were very friendly, I felt very comfortable during my training. Couldn't wish for a better place to start my flight training.

Worst flight school I've ever encountered! People, make yourself a favor please and read the reviews here, believe them and you'll spare yourselves of a lot of stress, frustration and wasted money! I did my ppl here, and overpaid A LOT, due to the fact that they made me fly a lot, and pointlessly, without moving on further in my training for instance when I was ready for solo! In the myFBO, which is the explanation for everything you have to pay them they write whatever they want, just to scam you for your money, and in the end, everything is in their hands as the classical answer is "you don't pay you don't fly" and sadly there's nothing that can be done. This school has bad organization, questionable maintenance, I had to fly back and forth from their base aerodrome in brezi because of forgotten headsets, damper on the nose wheel being broken, this is all time and money, and no one will ever give it back to me! Some of their instructors are absolutely amazing, and I'm grateful that I met them, but others on the other hand are absolutely awful!they're rude, entitled, and think that they're over everyone else. I've had several fights with the school, and for me training was especially difficult because I was working full time in the meantime, I know how money is made, and I absolutely despise it when my money is wasted by scammers like the people of scamming academy! This school is a disgrace, consider very carefully before you choose it for you pilot training 😡

I strongly advice people do not waste your times and money here. they only survive on fake promises and noting else.The management is messed up and customer service sucks too .they only have one instructor and one plane for IR training.knowing their capacity is limited and they keep on enrolling new students with their fake promises.they promise they will schedule you everyday once you enrolled.you be lucky to be scheduled once a week.you won't be able to finish in 8 months which they initially promise you 6 week. The school provides CPL,MEI and IR training but they dont even have simulator.IR training cost 120000 euro here and the school expect you to pay in cash.if you are paying by card there is extra charges which they never tell you before.so many hidden charges which they never tell you before.they charge 1000 euro for briefing and debriefing but there is no briefing and debriefing exist in this school.the instructor return one student from training and another student straight jump into the plane so instructor has not time for briefing.every other school has just one membership fee which is valid for 12 months but this school charge admin fee of 268 euro for each phase of your training.if you value your time and money just say a big no to flying academy.

I have completed there the PPL and ATPL theory and was going to continue to IR, MEP and CPL, but decided to switch to a different school. This school has good instructors Riccardo, Michael, Karel and Lukas and very helpful flight training specialist Hanka, however the billing is terrible, flight planning as well and on the website are presented many lies, students are being overcharged for services, landing fees and even the exams. To make the long story short, the PPL there costs about 10 500,-EUR instead of the advertised 7900,-EUR. Can not recommend it :(

What a great group of people! Being a USA based pilot, I have always wanted to fly in Europe - The team at Flight Academy not only made that possible, but I was able to get my son and brother flying as well on our visit to Brno for the Moto GP. Julie Skarkova was the first person I worked with at Flight Academy's Praha (Prague) base and she quickly set us up for Saturday, the 20th out of their Brno airport facility. We did all of our coordination via e-mail until about a day out when I called and spoke with her via phone. We were able to converse in English with all the Flight Academy folks which made things very easy! Once onsite, we were greatly helped by Nikola Z. She was superb in helping us out and getting the Instructors sorted through the Flight Academy system so we could all fly! We were able to get my son and brother flying with Elyes H and I flew with Stefano P who were not only great instructors, but very easy to work with. We took a Glass Panel 172 (My Son) and Stefano and I flew the steam gauge 172 - that also happens to have a Garmin GPS and modern radios/altimeters - moreso than the C-182RG I fly back in the states! We met for about 15 minutes, briefed on our areas of interest and were then headed to the aircraft. Security is different so make sure you have your passport or at least a passport card with you. We were able to fly over the Moto GP, over the city of Brno, and then south over several towns and castles/churches in the countryside. Landings cost (Not bad) so we only made one full stop and fortunately, mine was pretty good compared to the last few in the states! Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip and the fact that the Flight Academy team made it so easy to do was incredible! Thank you all!

This ATO should be called a sausage academy instead flying academy.The worse place I have every came across in my life.They treat student so badly.if you stand for yourself when realised things are not going fair for you then Instructors will take it personal and try to cause you trouble in the future but, they don't realise the fact that you are customer here and pay money.its all about money here but in return you get noting.its one of the most expensive school with so many charges which you never expect.In 2018 EU union banned any kind of transaction fee.Flying Academy illegally charging everyone transaction (3.9%)fee if you pay by card. I have been charge 3000 euro so far for no reason and there is no one there to tell me why they made those charges.The standard of training is appalling and disgraceful.There are many safety issues with their old aircraft.This place is not fit to be ATO it should be closed down.Honestly,If I could go lower than 1 star I would give -5 star to this school.I am writing this review just to help you guys to avoid this place and not go through appalling service which I am experiencing right now. I will be writing more reviews in other pilot forum so everyone will have an idea lying academy.

definitely the worst place to become a pilot, basically all they say is just a lie as you can see also in the picture which is attached they just started to charge people for no reason as a addition fee. remember they say there is no hidden fee. there are lots of these kind of fee , and many fees for no reason, like VAT payment even on your landing fees. some of their lies are in this order: *(the evidence for any part of this message is ready to provide)* as they say they are located in Brno int airport but reality is they are changing the building out of the airport area. as they say PPL will cost about 8000 eu but in reality is minimum 11000 as they say there will be piper arrow and 2 multi engine airplanes but reality is there is only 1 multi engine and piper arrow doesn't even exist. as they say there are plenty experience instructors but in reality there are some days even without instructor. as they say the students time will have highest priority but reality is every course that they provide usually takes double time than what they mention in their website. and there are many days without aircraft or even not enough instructors available . they say they have a partnership with big airlines for job offers and like Ryanair but reality is no one even went through them to Ryanair. evidences are ready to provide to every one. the reason for writing this message is to make the quality of providing service better and prevent you to come here and waste your time and money and lose your hopes. lets hope for a day that no more lies will be on hopes. we are definitely ready to show and explain about more evidence that you wish to see .

I want to say a "thank you" for guys who working in this academy! I found that all people there are like a big family and felt myself like I come to my old friends. I want to say a separate "Thank You" to: Lucy - she answered all my questions. Natasha - she worked with me on the ground. And especially Yan - he flew with me and shown me how to fly. I think he felt a bit tired after our flights, because of I always tried to jump ahead and asked a lot of questions, a some part of these questions was really stupid, but in any case these questions have been answered. If you want to become a pilot - just come here. Thank you guys! See you in the couple of weeks.

I started my PPL training at the end of June and finish at the end of August. Academy executed all promises. I appreciate instructors Feruz, Pablo, Danila, Kirill. I really like these academy. I am going to study ATPL course.

I was Flying Academy student several years ago completing NVFR, IFR and multiengine there. The aviation knowledge, attitude as well as professional education was very helpful to get my current airliner job and realize my dream of flying. Thanks, guys!
