Flying Academy Miami - South Campus

Pretty fun, me and a friend of mine went to Miami to do 50hours each as time builders, first couple days we flew together to understand better the radio calls and to help each other out, then we almost flew everyday with two different planes (c-150) and went around all over the Florida state from 6 to 8 hours daily of flight time. Everything was good for me but every plane had a different little problem, from the radio to the strut or the rpm indicator but if you ask you can go to maintenance to have it checked and be sure to be safe in any case. Btw flying in the States is really funny and easy ngl, amazing experience. It took 12 days for me to do the 50 hours as a pic and I had 9 days to do some vacation too, depends on the weather too but it was always sunny bumpy and windy (funny). Highly recommended for Time builders as experience.

Amazing experience with the discovery flights, trained pilots, and they were very friendly made my first time flying experience amazing, they even let me do crazy stuff 😂

Great school. They have a wonderful team. I would specially like to mention Mythili a wonderful lady, very helpful. Jose Vaca is another wonderful person and friend who really helped me out when I was new there. Chris under whom I did my first solo and all the wonderful flyers deserves my gratitude. Please keep up the good work. I would definitely want to go back and fly with them again!!

I had a very bad experience being right out scammed by the Flying Academy base in Miami while renting a plane for vacation. In almost 10 years in aviation something like this has never happened to me before and I never thought it would. Be very sure to read every piece of paper they give you very carefully and crosscheck it with the things they tell you via Whatsapp, the phone or in person.

I did a discover flight with my boyfriend for his birthday and we had a great time! Our pilot was Leo and it was definitely a 10/10 experience. The entire process was very smooth and the staff was easily accessible with any questions we had.

Passed my Private Pilot checkride today! A huge thank you to the GoFly team for getting me one step closer to my dream! Up next… Instrument 💪🏻

My experience with Flying Academy is unique. At first glance, it was another flight school. When I took my 100-hour first time solo cross country for time building I realized I was in good hands. The admission process, the transportation from/to the airport, the welcoming on the first day, the personal treatment, the facilities, the accommodation, the instructors, the staff - everything was satisfying and professional, and you don't get it in every flying school. For me, the most important thing was aircraft maintenance. In time building, it's crucial when you spend so many hours on the same aircraft, and it's even better when you have more than one branch to count on in such a long trip (from west coast to east coast and back). I flew the Cessna 172 and Piper Arrow 28R (which I liked most). The rent was a bit high, but it was fair and it was worth it! My next 100-hour trip is going to be in Flying Academy, not because it's the best (nothing is perfect), but because it gained my trust.

The Discovery Flight was a fantastic experience with stunning views! The team walked me through the entire process, and ensured that everything was clear in the beginning. I’d highly recommend others to try it!

This is an unprofessional flight school with bad business practices. Don't ever expect a refund. Their accounting department is not in Miami. Everything will be done via email. One of their Miami employees, José Vaca will call. Mr. Vaca will not provide the CEOs name. Do not Fly here. If they are not transparent and have good customers service, how well do you think their planes are maintained? They also have the lowest paid CFIs in the field. How great do you think morale is by instructors?

I recently had the opportunity to receive flying lessons from Bryan Mora at the Flying Academy, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Bryan's expertise and passion for flying are immediately evident from the moment you meet him. His extensive knowledge of aviation is matched only by his ability to impart this knowledge in an engaging and easily understandable manner. What sets Bryan apart is his personalized approach to instruction. He takes the time to understand his students' learning styles and tailors his teaching methods accordingly. This bespoke approach not only made the learning process more enjoyable but also significantly more effective. Under Bryan's guidance, I felt my skills and confidence as a pilot increase exponentially with each lesson. Safety is clearly Bryan's top priority. He meticulously ensures that every aspect of the flight preparation and execution is understood and properly followed. His attention to detail in this regard is reassuring, especially for a novice pilot. It's evident that he genuinely cares about his students' safety and progress. Moreover, Bryan's patience and supportive nature make him an ideal instructor for students at any level. He encourages questions and takes the time to address any concerns, ensuring that you are completely comfortable and confident in your abilities. His positive attitude and encouraging words have a way of instilling confidence, even in the most challenging aspects of learning to fly. In summary, Bryan Mora is an exceptional flying instructor who combines expertise, a tailored teaching approach, an unwavering commitment to safety, and a genuinely supportive nature. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to embark on or further their journey in aviation. His ability to transform students into competent, confident pilots is truly remarkable.
