USAA values it's students and provides the necessary ground school and flight instruction to be successful; this is in strict contrast to other schools where you're a number $$$ (see my ATP flight school review). They also have self examing authority so you're not always waiting weeks/months on a DPE for your checkride. Their instructors emphasize safety, pilot knowledge and decision making. They have a dedicated scheduling and dispatch departments and use Flight Schedule Pro website to manage your schedule and flight hours, so you always know your progress. They are flexible with your schedule which is very helpful. I completed my instrument and commercial ratings at US Aviation Academy via part 141 after previously achieving my private rating independently via part 61. Currently working on my CFI/CFII/Commercial Multi.
