Dear fellow students,

Dear fellow students,

I hope you will read these important notes before subscription to US Aviation Academy.

My conclusion - after being a student by myself at this academy - is as follows:

Pros
+) The teachers are extremely friendly and competent
+) The school's environment is perfect as the airport is controlled by a tower and close to several other airports. That means every time you fly you will practice to talk on the radio
+) The infrastracture of the school building is pretty new (not the housing!)

Cons
-) The duration of the schools' programs is even more than underestimated. In reality take their advertised time and multiply it by 2 (for example for the Private Pilote License it would be 4 months). Do not buy this filthy lie!!
(This rule is applicable to all flight schools with such advertisements)

-) The management of the school is really poor. The amount of students is too high and exceeds the school capacity. Therefore one has to wait for hours and days until lessons are scheduled and administrative work is done. This costs precious time that could be used for flying and will be charged because of your longer stay at the Academy.
You will also note the lack of good management when trying to write mails to the school secretary/admissions office. If you have luck, you will get a standardized answer that does not include any reply to your questions. If you do not have luck, your message will never be answered.

-) The provided housing is too expensive (bad furnishing, you will live with 3 other roommates) compared to the local student housing of the University of North Texas. I recommend to look for the housing by your own (Hint: check the housing of the University of North Texas).

All in all, I wanted to tell you: Think twice before choosing this flightschool and be reminded to always have a safety buffer for your return flight, housing and the most important thing: your money.
