Having worked at a few schools earlier in my career I appreciated the hands on and very(!) professional approach SunState took to my flight review as well as my rental with them. Their staff is friendly and extremely helpful and booking is a breeze as long as you plan ahead a bit as they are (unders...
Very professional people. I will definitely recommend Sunstate to all of my friends.
I had a very bad experience at this school when I tried to obtain my IFR rating there. At first, I was attracted to that flight school by their good marketing offering a supposed 14 day fast track program for the IFR rating.
I fixed up my schedule, placed a $4000 deposit and decided to attend th...
Dear Steve,
I can t thank you enough for everything Sunstate Aviation did in preparing me for my commercial pilot oral and flight exam.
The Commercial Pilot Course was not only enjoyable but had me absolutely prepared to pass the check ride. Your facility is top-notch and all the aircraft are ...
I came to finish my CFI, the staff was very professional and the airplanes in excellent conditions. I finish my training on the time they gave me. Very happy with the service they provide me.
Completed Instrument rating and Commercial Single Engine at this school. Great staff and great planes. Would recommend to anyone.
So frustrating. They've got the planes, the building, the airport. Just missing enough instructors. The instructors I had were great. Oleg was skilled and fun to be around. But, I was only getting 2 flight hours a day. I asked for other instructors to help when they were free and that happened on oc...
I've been familiar with SunState Aviation for over a decade now. From my first ever discovery flight in late 2005 to becoming a Private Pilot just two weeks ago, SunState has always met my needs and expectations and helped me get closer to my dream of being a professional pilot. My very first day in...
SunState Aviation has great marketing and planes/facilities. But after that it's all downhill. Mike Camelin will assure you that they have the capacity and can reach your desired goal in the timeframe as advertised when he really has no idea.
The operations and communication between management, c...
I'm so thrilled to come and learn to fly here, I'm only 13 but I can't wait, much more. This looks like one of the best schools in Florida. I hope I can come here and learn when it is time. I'm so excited to train and fly with these guys.
They help me to reach my goal. I get a lot knowledge and experience. Thank you so much.
I would like to get info about class schedule / what days and or what time is offered please and thank you
I got my private pilot certificate at SunState in August of 2013 with my father. The experience was absolutely stellar, I had the same instructor throughout my training and they were always able to work with my schedule. This was an important factor for me because I juggled multiple jobs at the time...
I would encourage anyone interested in their 5 day commercial pilot course to have a very direct conversation with the folks in charge of scheduling, not marketing, as to what the current status is of availability of pilot examiners. After paying a $1000 deposit months out to secure my week, I arri...
I completed my Instrument rating at SunState Aviation in early 2020. The aircraft are clean and well maintained. I flew the C172 G1000 exclusively for IR to utilize all the added benefits available in a glass cockpit. For those who just starting your flight training, the most important is a competen...
I completed my PPL at Sunstate and the processes was made simple and straight forward by a knowledgeable and motivational staff. I really appreciate how my instructor Juliana C. really took the time to understand how I learned and integrated that into my lessons. I was also impressed by how well mai...
PLEASE READ. I attended Sunstate a while back and i highly encourage you to read this review if you are thinking about going here. To start off i know that other peoples experiences are different and getting any ratings are dependent on the person with the amount of time and how fast they learn. I a...
I went to SunState Aviation to complete my Commercial ASEL certificate and was able to accomplish this within ten calendar days using their accelerated program (Most of my solo requirements were met prior to my arrival). The cost of the training is more expensive than other flight schools however th...
SunState s accelerated and individualized training program was outstanding. I came to them with a fairly non-standard request of doing an accelerated commercial airplane and instrument category rating add-ons to my helicopter ATP.
I had about five weeks to conduct the training which, given all the ...
I completed my PPL at SunState Aviation. I enjoyed my time and experience there. SunState has the most dedicated, knowledgeable, hard-working instructors. They are there to help you become better pilots every day. If you need any help or questions, they will be there to help you. Their aircraft are ...
SunState Aviation claims on its website that their accelerated program can turn you from aviation newbie to private pilot in just 3-4 weeks. During my time there as an accelerated student I met no one who was on that success curve, and that includes me. I withdrew from SunState a few months ago with...
This place was amazing! Flying can seem intimidating at first but these guys welcome you with open arms. Anything you need they are ready to help. At Sunstate you can become a proficient pilot with lots of time in the plane as long as you keep up with your ground studies. Really commit and you can a...
Finished Single Engine PPL, CPL and Instrument Rating in 1.5 months. There's good weather to fly, sufficient aircraft and friendly instructors who can help achieve your goals in the shortest time.
Give them a call to find out more if you're still looking around:)
My training at SunState was wonderful, everyone is always supporting you, also the instructors are super funny! you ll feel part of the team; all the aircrafts are in perfect conditions, the training is very organized, the facilities are pretty cool, a great environment for studying. SunState is the...
I completed my private pilot training at Sunstate Aviation about one month ago. However, I started my training at a small flight school in central Virginia near my hometown. There, I was flying 1-3 hours each weekend and conducting my ground school online through Jeppesen. Approximately six months a...
Highly recommended. I came here with a UK IMC rating with the plan being to achieve the Intrument Rating in two weeks. And I did it! Doing it in such a short time is very intense, and the more you study the excellent materials they send you in advance the better it will be. It was a very intense t...
I'm so very well at Sunstate just not aviation school but is my home.They help me to reach my goal.Everybody help me everything.
There is a nice instructor just not instructor but is friends. They didn't just teach only flying but I feel not alone to be here because they is my friends especially LE...
I went down to Sunstate in November on 2017 for my commercial rating. I think they advertise a 14 day commercial program. I did 8 flights with a young but knowledgeable CFI and got my rating. I enjoyed my time and experience there and would recommend this flight school to anyone who is serious about...
I have to say this, I been with SunState aviation for about 6 months and since day one it has been my only choice without a regret, very helpful and professional people as well as the best airplanes that you will ever find in an aviation school. I completed my Private pilot license as well as my ins...
Scheduled my FAA Part 107 test through PSI/CATS - arrived today for it and was told the "proctor was not available". According to the pleasant yet fairly unhelpful front desk guy, the proctor knew earlier in the week that a test was booked yet elected not to call and resolve the issue before I waste...
Fun training. My instructor not only instructire but also become my friend. I got the new aviation experience and got the new friend there. Thank you
I had my PPL here. Excellent support, helpful staff & CFIs and well maintained airplanes!
As a student I was given extremely good training and worked with well. They have a great partnership with Liberty University. The facilities are state of the art. As an instructor I am privileged to work at a flight school that cares for customers and keeps extremely well maintained airplanes.
I'm so appriciated at Sunstate.They help me to reach my goal within one month.
There is a nice instructor I ever had. They didn't just teach only flying but I feel comforted to be here especially LEVI KEAGY.Thank you to make my CPL.
An excellent school with well maintained aircraft, instructors who want to help you succeed, and a great curriculum. Highly recommended!
I came here with PPL in hand and completed IR, CSEL and CMEL. I did this in conjunction with Liberty University, the program was well put together and seamless. My instructors were Sean K and Paul S and I can t say enough good things about them. They were thorough and I always felt ready for stage c...
Great flying school with instructors who want to see you succeed, The private pilot course is well structured. Planes are always maintained on time and are always in excellent condition.
Be aware, be VERY aware! They will promise you what you want to hear, take your money, and then you have to fight tooth and nail to get your training. Absolutely don't come here for their 'accelerated training', they have no interested in that as there's more money for them to make dragging it out...
Well maintained aircraft and dedicated staff. Structured progress checks can increase expected hour count and as such must be factored into budgeting. However, by the end I was very well prepared for the practical examination. Got my PPL after 1 month training with them.
Excellent school with well-maintained aircraft and structure.
Dysfunctional disaster. Facts: Doesn't provide discounts on "frequent flyer" account holders. They have 1 instructor per 3 students, so forget about accelerated training. The lead instructor goes out to the "semi-nude" bar with student pilots then employs the "I'm the CFI" and chooses favorites s...
