Pilotsmith was the perfect place for me to complete my 141 instrument rating. They were accommodating to my tight time-frame. The instructors are professional and great to work with. The planes are well maintained and very well equipped. Access to a simulator was also very helpful on the few days where flying outside was not possible. I highly recommend Pilotsmith for any level of license/rating and my only issue is that I wasn’t able to stay longer to continue my training!

As an instructor:

The 141 curriculum at pilotsmith provides instructors with a seamless program designed for positive student outcomes. With an emphasis on safety, instructors can expect a great culture allowing personal development needed for future employment. Having the skills to teach and develop within a growing 141 program pays dividends when explaining your experience to future employers. 

As a student:

The 141 program allows an extremely current and progressive plan for training. Each lesson I knew exactly what was expected of me to keep me reaching my goals. I could move as fast or as slow as I needed making sure I had perfect clarity of the material. Instructors were truly knowledgeable with real world experienced while just as driven as I was to get my rating completed and feeling confident within the aircraft.

I am currently a student at Pilotsmith, and I would highly recommend undergoing your flight training here! The instructors are very down-to-earth, friendly people who are extremely competent in their fields of expertise. They truly LOVE flying and go out of their way to help their students in many ways, including providing a selection of hours to schedule lessons and different payment options. In terms of pricing, everything is very direct from the start, too! They offer competitive and low prices for a quality education just because of their love to see others experience flight. You learn at your pace and pay as you go. I’ve flown anywhere from once in three weeks to thrice in one week because of my own schedule (although the more your schedule allows you to fly, the better!) – they are very flexible.
The instructors are very good at adapting to be the teacher you need them to be – for me, that includes this perfect combination of gentleness, encouragement, and yet firmness at the same time. My instructor is very patient with me while we practice new maneuvers, and he helps speak out the steps as I practice it a few times, which is so helpful for me. He is also very good with communication, and he always is able to let me know with substantial notice if the weather doesn’t qualify for VFR flying, even though I live about an hour away.
have yet to ask a question that my instructor couldn’t answer thoroughly, and I appreciate the sacrifice and diligence that has gone into making Pilotsmith the well-rounded school that it is! There’s nothing as refreshing as being up in the air, and I’m so glad I chose to learn to fly here! If you’re looking for a legitimate, earnest, passionate, and professional place to take up your wings, this is the place to be.

Pilotsmith is amazing. I got my commercial certificate in the time schedule that I asked and pilotsmith delivered. Pilotsmith is a great aviation school and I’m looking forward to starting my CFI.

Learning to fly is a huge investment both in time and money so you need to invest wisely. On recommendation I traveled from Europe to do my PPL with Charlie Smith at Pilotsmith Inc and without doubt I invested wisely.
Within 9 days of meeting Charlie and starting my intensive course I flew solo. Although I still have a few more hours to log to be able get to do my check ride I would recommend Charlie to anyone wanting to invest as I have done.
