My favorite part of American Flyers is how friendly and supportive everyone is. No matter the problem, I can always count on someone on the team to help, and if any issues arise, everyone works together to fix the problem. I love training new pilots because it’s amazing to get to know people who share a common goal and can also relate to the challenges that come with this goal. It’s awesome to see how each student learns and processes new information. I’m currently working on my commercial multi-rating.
