I can’t say enough great things about Pilot in Training Flight Academy. After college, I decided to pursue aviation with the goal of earning my ratings as efficiently as possible. I began my flight training in September 2024, and by September 2025, I’m proud to say I’ve earned my Private Pilot License (PPL), Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot License (CPL), and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certificate. A huge thank-you to my instructor, Jan, for guiding me through this entire process. He was the best instructor I could have asked for—his experience and expertise allowed me to learn both quickly and safely. His flexibility made it possible for me to stay on track while still customizing my schedule around my needs. I appreciated being able to take time off for vacations without disrupting my progress. Jan also made training enjoyable by flying to interesting airports and keeping each lesson engaging, all while maintaining a strong focus on learning and safety. The other instructors at Pilot in Training were also incredibly helpful and generous with their time. From discussing ground topics to joining me in the cockpit, many instructors contributed to my success along the way. Special thanks to Jeremy, Dost, Anders, Brandon, and Josh for all their support. The entire team of instructors is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about helping students succeed. The overall operation of the school is outstanding—thanks in large part to the owner, Slava. He truly cares about every student’s success and goes above and beyond to accommodate individual goals, schedules, and learning styles. Slava was always available to answer questions and help make my journey as smooth as possible. I also appreciated the opportunity to build time with other students, which not only saved money but also provided valuable experience. The ability to rent planes easily was another huge advantage that helped me progress quickly. Lastly, the maintenance team at Pilot in Training is exceptional. Aircraft are rarely out of service, and the mechanics are always quick to address any issues that arise. Safety is clearly the academy’s top priority, and that’s reflected in their diligent maintenance practices. A special thank-you to Dan for keeping the planes in top shape and ensuring every flight is safe. If you’re considering flight training, I highly recommend Pilot in Training Flight Academy. They make getting started simple, provide incredible support, and genuinely invest in you as a student. Once again, a huge thank-you to Jan and Slava for all your guidance and support throughout my journey at Pilot in Training Flight Academy.

I had an incredible experience at Pilot In Training Flight Academy! My instructor was amazing, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He walked me through every step of the process, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely comfortable in the cockpit. With his guidance, I actually got to fly the plane, which was such a surreal and exciting moment. What stood out most was how encouraging he was. He made me feel confident and inspired to continue pursuing aviation. I’d highly recommend this academy to anyone who’s ever dreamed of flying!
