U.S. Flight Academy Reviews

US Aviation is the best school to receive your flight training. The staff and instructors are 100% committed to getting you your certificates in a timely and safe manner. 100% Endorse.

I've been working at the US Aviation Academy for a couple of months now and have seen nothing but professionalism and an environment created to helping students succeed. Having worked at a previous school before coming here, I can see that they have established a great curriculum to provide great training. I've been teaching in the Chinese instrument curriculum and my students so far have been very knowledgeable and they study hard which honestly makes a flight instructor's job easy. The only reason for the 4 stars is because the amount of hours isn't what I had hoped for but that seems to be specific to the Chinese instrument program, as other programs seem to fly more. Just something to be aware of if considering teaching here to build hours.

Absolutely despicable the way you guys treat the chineese students. I know exactly whats going on over there and im going to make it a point to shed some light on it.

I highly suggest looking into US Aviation Academy and their Part 141 program. They are partnered with Liberty University, so you can get your bachelors and pilot s license at the same time! The Liberty University pathway is GI Bill friendly and is excellent for Veterans! I can t recommend US Aviation Academy s flight instruction enough! My training with both Liberty University and US Aviation Academy has been nothing but ideal!

I was an instructor at US Aviation for over a year and couldn't be happier with my decision to instruct here. Great support staff and surrounded by instructors who are helpful and available to bounce ideas off of. Large fleet of airplanes for all stages of training.

Well-maintained planes and professional staff with real interest in teaching people how to fly. Haven't had a complaint yet.

I've had the pleasure of working at this company for nearly nine years. I left for almost a year to work for a regional airline and I came back here for a reason! After touring and visiting flight schools located all over the country and talking to hundreds of flight training cadets, I can tell you that hands down I give my highest recommendation to US Aviation Academy. This is this is the most hospitable and professional flight training environment I have seen. We have a phenomenal group of core management team that go above and beyond to assist and aid both student and Instructors during their time at US Aviation Academy. I think USAA successfully manages a delicate balance of professionalism and fun which for me makes for an enjoyable working environment and company culture.

Reply: You want to hear from me? Why not hear from Mr. Yan who has suffered so much? You sure can t do it now because he is gone and all of you failed to hear from him! Stop bragging about all your certificates, even a President can commit a crime. Those certificates can not determine your heart and who you are. After all these backlashes, you guys still learned nothing. If you really want to hear from me that bad, here s what you need to know, it s plain simple: Apologize to his family and pay for their lose. No amount of money can ever bring back a life, but his family should not have to suffer this sorrow.

You love forcing those students to take shameful photos in front of the Trump meme right? How about you learn something too and get your lesson done!

Their so called structured English immersion is simply LAUGHABLE. Teaching English is not an excuse for you to DISCRIMINATE foreigners whose first language is not English. USAA s nativism and ignorance are clearly the causes of their students hardship.

Racism and Nativism: The staff says students need dedication to succeed, while they must do harsh labor to survive(see the schedule below).

-The school denies racism, while they publicly exhibit English-Only policies addressed specifically to Chinese students.
-The school not only refuses to apologize, they are actively trying to make it looks like this is a highly dedicated institution. Are they somehow the victims? They had nothing to do with Mr. Yan s suicide because he risked his own future and paid an expensive tuition just to die in America? More importantly, is this the kind of responsibility the school wishes to show to their future students?

Very unethical ways of teaching international students. In your response to reviews, I haven't seen any apologies regarding the Wall of shame exposing the Asian students.

I am chinese student at usag. People say so many bad things that are not true about life at usag. Chinese students are proud to come to america to train at usag. some students break rules and get trouble but airline company does not terminate. instead airline company makes different punishment for cadet that usag must do. Yan Yang die because he could not handle pressure of failure. every student know that. it is sad but usag no hate to chinese students. My instuctor is very good, kind, and help me reach my dream.

Great place to be a CFI. The school is also growing so come on over.

Recently signed on with this company and they have been nothing but professional. I have spoken with many staff, met many domestic and international students and each is excited to be with this company. The number of students they teach each year is a testament to their work ethic.

I attended us aviation academy from private through CFII. Had great instructors that helped keep me motivated every step of the way. I always felt welcome and made great friends along the way.

As a CFI, I find U.S. Aviation a rewarding, professional, and supportive environment to guide students from around the world toward their goal of becoming professional pilots. I have witnessed nothing but the highest level of respect for cultural diversity from management, fellow instructors, and academy staff. Anything less would not be tolerated!

@Divine Panda....while your comment may have some truth to it, can you not see the irony in that EVERY 1 star and outlandish comment, including yourself, is obviously from someone that has never been to, or experienced what US Aviation is all about. You are all the same and never share any personal experiences with US Aviation Academy.

As a consumer and potential customer, I am far more likely to believe those that have taken the time to rate and share their ACTUAL experiences at US Aviation Academy than all of those who are trying to tear down what seems to be an otherwise good company because of some millennial/snowflake bs.

Thank you to those who have been to and shared your experience of US Aviation Academy. Your honest ratings and experiences are helpful.

PS...I have not experienced US Aviation Academy either. But based on all the other ratings and their "response from owner" comments towards the 1 stars, I am giving them 4 stars. Seems like they have it together and know how to get the job done.

I took my son on a "discovery flight" to see if he would like flying, and it was a wonderful experience! Everyone was friendly and professional and we were both totally impressed with the facility and the equipment. I recommend this place to everyone.

BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE!!! Read all 1 star reviews. Avoid this place and don't trust all the fake "good" reviews. There are BETTER flight schools out there in DFW. Also notice the same stupid reply that this company is copying and pasting on all the bad reviews. They put no effort, no care into even responding.

I moved from Prescott AZ to Denton TX to start working at US Aviation Academy, as I am also in the Envoy Airlines Instructor pipeline program.

US Aviation Academy is by far one of the most professional, structured and organized flight training facilities I have seen thusfar.

Location is great as I am only 30 minutes driving from DFW and the proximity and being under a Class B airspace allows for some realistic training that may not be found at other locations.

If you're considering a career in professional aviation or make maybe just need to get a refresher after years of not flying, come check this place out.

Best place to learn and Teach. Highly recommend. Your money and time won't be wasted.

AVOID AT ALL COST, Inexperienced and racist flight staff, scam

Great flight school with a great curriculum. Very well maintained aircraft and a diverse student cultural background.

Lots of aircraft and great instructors who genuinely want to teach you how to be a great pilot and not just get you your ratings. Competitive pricing and flexible hours.

I'm willing to join this academy. Please give a chance to join this academy. I'm am Indian student. I'm perusing class 11th from PCM subject.

US Aviation Academy just set a new level for great service! They reached out to me personally and answered my questions and handled all my difficult questions about foreign licenses. Leading by an example, highly recommend starting your aviation career here

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.

I haven t been associated with US Aviation very long but have found them to be very professional (not racist) and grade everyone according to their levels of competency. It s a great place for pilots to train and be held to the utmost standards of international aviation.

I have worked for USAA for a 1 year and 6 months and have very much enjoyed my time here. USAA has given me opportunity for advancement and better hourly wages than I would have had at my previous flight school as flight instructor. They have helped me grow as a professional and given me the tools to succeed. As a flight instructor I take a genuine interest in my students and I can say most of the other flight instructors here do too. Everyone is very friendly at the academy and we are like a family. I have made life long friends, both instructor and students. On a side note, my father passed away unexpectedly last year and it was very hard for my family and I. The USAA faculty was there for me, gave me as much personal time as I needed, and even made a large donation to our family for the memorial service. I am eternally grateful for this. Thank you US Aviation Academy.

The best school to become a pilot! I transferred here from a different school and it was the best decision I could have made! US Aviation Academy is very professional and will work with you, no matter what your goals are. The program is very flexible and you get to choose how fast you want to go. Everybody is so nice and helpful! This is my happy place

US Aviation Academy is a sophisticated pilot training company with dedicated, knowledgeable and caring staff well equipped aircraft and training equipment including a full-motion simulator not found at many training organizations.

The company and employees are committed to providing the best, high quality training for professional pilots around the world. Students go on to successful careers in the airlines and professional aviation. This is a first rate training company.

Extremely biased and raciest! Lack of oversight and management responsibilities. Basically you are only safe there if you're white!

The aircraft are well maintained and the flight staff are top notch! I enjoy flying here and recommend US Aviation Academy!

Pay for your actions, fix the system. Provide actual quality instructors

I spent the majority of my professional flight training with US Aviation Academy. They are a top-notch training center, focused on safety and quality training. As with any flight school, there will always be challenges that come along the way, but I know from personal experience US Aviation is committed to excellence and is dedicated to the success of their students. It is because of who they are as a company, that I have chosen to stay employed with them for multiple years and anticipate staying with them for many more.

What age could you apply at, and if you are done training THEN can apply for a job at a airline such as American airlines, JetBlue, or Frontier?

R.I.P Francesca & Yang Extremely unsafe equipments, if you don t even wanna drive in a broken car, then avoid this place

A death of an asian student occurred due to the negligence of this academy. Racist and inhumane.
They publicly shamed and ridiculed those who don t speak English well.

Over 2000 Chinese students have completed training at US Aviation and are flying all over the world. US Aviation is a great place to build time as an instructor and one of the most successful American training facilities for foreign students. As many do not know, English is the only language that can be spoke to Air Traffic Control across the globe which makes it very important the students learn.

Had a discovery flight here and I couldn't have been any happier with the experience. Everyone was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I asked a lot of questions due to nervousness (as I've never been on a plane smaller than a commercial one) and not one employee was annoyed by it. I felt very comfortable here and after my discovery flight with US Aviation Academy, I definitely gained an interest in aviation.

Best School of aviation in USA., But may I know the Cost for Two Years or Four Years Degree Program for Pilot

US Aviation Academy has one of the most professional and well-structured flight training programs in the country. As a flight instructor I am extremely fortunate to be able to work here alongside qualified, caring, intelligent, and hard-working instructors, management personnel, maintenance technicians, and other staff. US Aviation not only trains students to become professional pilots, but builds lasting relationships along the way. Students and instructors work as a team to ensure that each flight is carried out safely and efficiently, while always striving for excellence. The skills learned here will last a lifetime for anyone pursuing aviation-related goals of any kind.

Best school of aviation in us but is there commercial pilot licence course and how can I join in your school. I'm from india

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.

Very professional excellent training and friendly place to be

This school is trying to cover up the events that led up to an international student committing suicide last month. They are having employees write reviews to hide the bad ones. Google search for yourself. Despicable.

School motto (Asian student version) - "Come learn at US Aviation Academy... We'll first take your money, then we'll take your life".

I took my 5 year old son up a discovery flight. It was a total surprise to him. From the initial call to leaving the airport after the flight everything about this place and the experience my son and I had was top notch. Erica answered all of my concerns and questions on the phone ahead of time and took care of the booking. Miguel our pilot was awesome. He was so professional and very patient with my son. It was my son's first time to ever be in an airplane so we had no idea how it was going to end up. It ended up being a lifelong memory. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a chance to get up in the air in a safe and friendly environment. We will be definitely doing this again in the future.

I have been with US Aviation Academy for a bit now and I have to say that as instructors, there are plenty of opportunities for us to thrive. Most of the students based in Denton and Sherman(North Texas Regional) are Chinese contracts. To be honest, I had a very biased opinion about working with Contract students from China going in as an instructor, thinking that it would be hard and possibly exhausting. I m not saying that it s not at times but USAA has laid out a Training Course Outline(TCO), specific to the Chinese students to meet their requirements, that makes our lives as an instructor easier. For the most part, the students ground knowledge is fairly developed as they need to have it completed prior to commencing flight training and that applies to all ratings. This reduces the amount of time you spend on the ground and it increases flight time significantly. It is still the duty of an instructor to brief and debrief each lessons. If you absolutely don t want to work with the Chinese students, you do have an opportunity to work with domestic students. USAA provides aircraft, instructors, and a TCO for a collegiate program located at Alliance Airport, in Fort Worth TX. Most, if not all of the students there are domestic students.
Now as an instructor, you have a lot of room to move up in the company. You can be a CFII, MEI and even become a Check Airman. For the most part, the company is willing to help you obtain your additional ratings at a reduced price(though I cannot guarantee all candidates are eligible for that).
Now, I mentioned Check airman. At USAA, we have self-examine authority from Private up to Commercial Multi. Becoming a Check airman at USAA will significantly increase your billable time and flight time. Not only do you have your own students to work with but now you can also conduct stage checks and EOC(checkrides). I have seen instructors racking up MORE THAN 100 HOURS OF FLIGHT TIME in a month, and that is not including the ground briefs and the oral exams. If you plan on staying with company after 1500hrs, you can also become a King Air instructor.

Pros and Cons.

Pros:
- Flight Time is great(Weather Permitting)
- A huge fleet of aircraft
- Multiple Bases(KDTO, KGYI, KAFW)
- Ability to move up in the company
- Partnered with Envoy(Pipeline Program)
- Schedules are easily accessed and created ahead of time
Cons:
- Weather is ALWAYS a limiting factor for instructors
- Seniority based time off(it s the same as the airlines so it s not a big deal for me)

Working there as an instructor has been an amazing experience. Yes, sometimes it gets a bit exhausting after a long day of flying but we have to keep in mind that in the long run, it s benefiting the all of us.
After a month of working at USAA, I was able to apply and get an interview with Envoy as a Pipeline instructor. This lifted up a big burden off of my shoulders knowing that I have a position there once I have the time required.

**P.S**
I wasn t paid nor do I get attention from management to post this review and will update this information as needed.

US Aviation Academy provides excellent professional training for pilots.

Please dont come to this aviation school unless you want to be abused or you want to die.
This s a school of serious racial discrimination and has a stake in certain airlines.

AGAIN!!!!!

Please DONT let your family, friends, or anyone you know come here!

I have been instructing here since February 2019 and have nothing but good things to say about this school. Everyone is treated with respect here. The students are treated as professionals and are encouraged to work very hard and the instructors are encouraged to give the best instruction possible to help guide these students into a career in aviation. While learning to fly is challenging, we maintain a fun and lighthearted environment that keeps students motivated to do their very best. The future of tomorrow s pilots are in the hands of USAA today. I feel safe, relaxed and confident as USAA from their training outlines to their maintence teams!

Did my instrument, commercial single engine and multi add on. Part 141 school with high success rate and good safety record.

If you are confident enough to survive outdated and broken 1970s FP-34 unlike their poor student Yan and poor employee. You are looking for the right place!

I ve been working for US Aviation Academy for a few months. Coming from another Part 141 flight school that I was very impressed with I came in with high expectations, but USAA has exceeded all of them. The instructors and management are very professional. The curriculum is the most structured and comprehensive curriculum I ve seen. The atmosphere itself is hard-working and very friendly. The only reason I didn t put 5 stars is I had expectations of getting a few more hours than is possible, but they are still on the high end of flight hours for an instructing job. All in all, USAA is a phenomenal company full of professional and caring employees. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Us aviation academy is best
And I am next year to join flying club

What do you say about Chinese Indentured servant commits suicide? You don t know how to manage students. Such a disgusting organization!

they just need your money and never care about you..

As l experienced in USAA , it is really a wonderful place to study fly . The instructors , managers , dispatches , mantainance people and drivers are friendly to every student . lf you have any question in flight or trouble in your life , you can find any staff in our academy , they will help you immediately .For flight , l have two private instructors , they are both very good to lead you to be a top pilot , they have extremely good techniques in flight and are knowledgeable in ground . Academy has many helpful facilities we can use to prepare our flight , like computers to check weather , printers we can use to print diagrams , simulators that we can practice procedures , and we can get a foreflight account from academy too , that's really convenient for every preparation . For the reason of coronavirus , academy provided a safety environment for flight training by everyday temperature test , provide masks , sanitizer and so on . They do as promised , we will be safe to complete our study .

I worked here as a flight instructor and it was my most enjoyable flight instructing job I ve ever had. The management is very good, the chain of command is very structured, and management works well with employees and treats them very well. This is a great school to fly at, the planes older but are well maintained. This is the only flight school in DFW I would recommend a fellow instructor to work at! 10/10

Sorry for the Asians who were suffered here, what a great idea by making this shame wall to embarrass the students who do not speak English. Think twice before you come here as a international student.

Not only does the administration consistently implement racist policies but also refuses to acknowledge or admit to their disgusting practices. If I could give it 0 stars I would.
