Review content:
Not a flight a flight school I would recommend. Student care is quite low. I was a student there with a lot of hours, and they said I was no where near getting my license, and that I would need a grand amount of hours to finish, but I believe that statement was simply to get more money out of me. I already spent $30,000 on that school, so I went to get a second opinion at a more honest flight school. I flew with the chief instructor who has more than 7,000 hours, and with keen observation, he stated I was a great pilot and would only need about ten hours to finish up, and in less than 10 hours, I went for my check ride and got my license!\r
This school will bill you about 50 dollars if your five minutes late for your flight, one time I was driving to school and my car broke down on the highway, obviously I was going to be late. I called the school and they avoided answering my question directly if I would be billed or not, if they could AT LEAST make an exception. I was billed anyway. They are excessive in billing their students. If you intend to enroll, they WILL make you do a down payment of more than one thousand dollars. I find this highly unfair, because you should pay as you go, and keep in check yourself how much your spending. The people that work at the front desk are not nice, many times when I was dispatched to fly the dispatchers would give me the keys with an attitude. \r
The airplanes aren’t as well maintained as they claim. The P models don’t have headset availability in the back, which means if you wanted to carry passengers you would have to take the SP model which is an extra $25 an hour. Most of the airplanes are dirty inside; old chairs, worn out airplanes. The VOR needle fluctuates constantly, always making it difficult to get an accurate read on it. The rpm reached red line very often which frightened me whenever I flew, always having to reduce power often, means more time in the airplane, more money. The engines had a lot of roughness in them which also scared me causing me to think the engine would give out any minute.\r
Most concerning is that the schools employees speaks very bad about other schools nearby, and claims they are the best school in the northeast. THAT’S A RED FLAG. If you’re running a business, why would you speak bad about your rivals to people interested in investing in YOUR business? Talk about your business only and what you can offer. I STRONGLY don’t recommend this school for international students, because once you see how they really are, it’ll be very hard to transfer out. It’s a school that doesn’t care about you, only your money.\r
