"Best flight school"

I would recommend this company to anyone

"Best recomendations."

Realy professional instructors! Well organized school! I did my IFR rating just in 2 weeks!

"Waste of $10,000"

When I first arrived at Sunstate, I was very satisifed. The instructors were well versed and pleasant. The promise was to have my commercial certificate in about a week. I realized that was unrealistic and planned on spending two weeks there. Everything started to go downhill after the first few days.

On a cross country, my instructor ended up flying us into IMC while VFR by scud running instead of turning around. We lost visual reference with the ground and couldn't even make contact with ATC because we were too low. Complete lack of judgement and disregard for safety.

After that disaster, the nose gear on their 182RG broke on takeoff. When the plane was sent back to be fixed, numerous other problems came up. My faith in the airworthiness of their planes was destroyed. My commercial course should have taken 7 days, I waited a whole month for the plane to be repaired and nobody seemed to care that I was wasting my time and money. " Oh maintence will be done tomorrow. Wait, it will be actually be in a few days. Won't be done till next week". I wasn't sure if the airplane really had that many problems or no one cared and I was being lied to. I asked if I could continue my training in a Piper Arrow, but the owner flew it home and didnt want to bring it back because "not many people use it." After that, I had enough. I came home $10000 short with nothing to show.

Stay far away from accelerated schools and big aviation academies. Stick with the local small flight school. You will save time, money, and hassle.

"Great experience"

Had a wonderful experience very accommodating and perfesional...

"Excellent Flight School"

Sun State is a really good flight school. The ground operation is well organized and their facilities are excellent. There is a wide range of planes to fly, all of which are in good condition and well looked after.

"Best Flight School in USA"

Sunstate is amongst the most Professional Flight School in the US. I converted my EASA FI to FAA CFI CFII in 4 Days. They prepared me well before I arrived in the US then guided me through all the hoops.

"A very professional oranisation"

It had been a number of years since I had flown solo in the US. I needed to refresh flight planning, weather and RT. All successfully completed.

"Definitely worth the trip!"

Very professional operation, excellent facility and great training. Would recommend to any aspiring pilot.
Thanks, David B!

"Commercial MEL and ATP with minimum flights"

The FAA revoked my Pilot license for a 135 violation. I had to re-take the MEL Commercial and ATP checkride. SunState provided the required training and I passed both check rides with minimal hours. The flight instructor was experienced and the aircraft was good maintained and available. The facility is first class and the rates are reasonable with no hidden charges. In addition visiting the attractions in Orlando was fun.
