Instrument Through Commercial, CFI, and CFII

I had an outstanding experience training at AFIT from Instrument through Commercial, CFI, and CFII. Tony, the owner, was incredibly accommodating throughout my entire journey. He was always proactive about reaching out, flexible with scheduling, and genuinely invested in making sure my training fit around my availability and goals. (Getting signed off in 30 days of training for 4 ratings is absolutely incredible!)

That level of support is rare and made a huge difference, especially during the more demanding stages of training. Having aircraft, instructor, and DPE availability all working together is no small feat! Alex the manager was super friendly and always gave drinks, snacks, and more in the pilot lounge. It created such a welcoming and supportive learning environment.

Annelie, my instructor, was exceptional. She was patient, knowledgeable, and consistently supportive, taking the time to make sure I truly understood both the flying and the “why” behind it. From the first lesson to the final check rides, she was with me every step of the way, providing encouragement, structure, and confidence when it mattered most. We had such an amazing time together getting some practical flying with cross countries to Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Francisco, Big Bear, and countless other airports in SoCal. This increased my confidence so much to flying in the region. She was the only instructor I’ve had who actually flew me out to check rides and stayed to support me the whole way, big kudos to her.

AFIT is a flight school that truly cares about its students’ success. I couldn’t have asked for a better environment or team to complete my advanced ratings, and I highly recommend AFIT to anyone serious about professional-level flight training.

Thanks a bunch Tony, Annelie, and Alex for helping me all the way through.
