My Review of US Aviation Academy:
I want to tell you some story about me. Six months ago, I google some US flight school on the website. I found this school and contacted Tiffaney by mail. She gave me a tuition list about 250 hours commercial pilot for 6 months, and just cost 42,657. I thought it is cheaper than other school after comparison with others. Three months ago, I came here to start my flight class, but I felt something wrong about tuition fee. School raised it, and they didn’t inform me. Two months ago, school assign me an instructor, Sanjay, teach me how to fly. He is a really bad guy. He didn’t teach me anything, even he didn’t allow me control my airplane during three flight missions. Go back to base, he always gives me ground school, and use half hour chatting or junk talking then charge me one hour fee. I didn’t learn anything from him. One and Half months ago, I got a new instructor to restart to teach me how to fly. But, he has 8 students on his duty. We cannot fly everyday, and we fly one mission per week. I always trust the school told us “On time, On budget.” But, it seems to make my beautiful dream become my terrible nightmare.

My Review of US Aviation Academy:
Ads saying 6 months which was happened long back ago...and maybe 1 person out of 30..
Not enough engineers and poor management ends up very poor plane availability, planes are available when weather is bad.
Not enough instructors made me waiting for over one month doing nothing, 141 initial multi comm course is such a joke, no curriculum and don't know what to do next even the manager. Very strict weather standard just extends the period of time building, plus lack of plane availability could take up to months for just trying to build 100 hours. Everything above they made me feel like it's my fault, yes I think I've made a mistake which is choosing the wrong school. You get how much you pay for, planes are barely airworthy here, especially the light twins. They will resolve everything try to get you in, once you come you'll realize how inefficient the process is, which means doing the paper work at the end of each certificate, especially just getting money back after training, and the scheduling, keep waiting for scheduling once get rescheduled, usually another extra week. Lack of communicating between fleet management, scheduling, maintainance, website system, everything is individual, which would be difficult to conduct a successful flight. I tried to work my ass of and ends up spending 11 months. Less than 6 months for private+instrument(good number). More than 2 months for multi engine(30 hrs), including 3 weeks no instructor, 1 whole week for standby which means no plane available. I'm glad I finished flight training within a year because I met a very good instructor, otherwise I don't know how long it's going to take, good luck on choosing a flight school.
