TESTIMONIALS
Thanks to this awesome course, I am now a certified pilot who is allowed to train other pilots and issue flight permits! I appreciate the hard work that your team does for the trainees - the course went smoothly with tons of useful information. You are great!
It was a truly amazing experience for me and my groupmates who came to get their CPL's at this flying school. The training was professionally organized, and the crew who helped us study worked hard to make it as much effective as possible. Thanks a lot!
It was fun and exciting to learn at your flying school! The instructors know exactly what they do, and I was fully aware of the risks and the trust that the students put in this training. I completed my license and night VFR fast and effectively. Thank you!
People support the venture as much as they can and I can imagine how difficult that must be in this day and age. The place is amazing. The terrain itself is rich with many lakes around, even man-made, mountains and plains.
