14-Day Private Pilot Course

As a fresh private pilot license holder I would like to send an enormous thanks to the A.F.I.T. team for helping me achieve this great feat. Most of all I would like to thank Erwin for putting in the effort to train me from dusk till dawn, day after day to be the safe, professional pilot I am today. Erwin didn’t cut any corners in my training and it is obvious to me that he takes great pride in instructing his students. In my brief time as an aviator I have witnessed numerous other pilots behaving like complete amateurs. I’m glad to say that Erwin game me the proper training and set me in the right direction so that when I’m in the sky I will be setting the example for others that have had instructors that lead them wrong. Erwin made the most of our time and never for a moment gave up on me. Erwin constantly challenged me to give me the best odds to passing my check ride when the day came. An accelerated flight program can be very stressful on a student and at times Erwin and I found ourselves laughing until our eyes were watering. It was this aspect of my training that I believe kept me from going insane. Through the flight program I not only gained my pilots license I also gained a friend that I have spoken with various times since I have finished training, and I feel that I can approach at any time I need guidance or advice.

I would also like to thank you Tony for working with me from the very first email to after completing my training. Some of the obstacles I encountered were in neither of our control but I am very thankful that you worked with me to give me a fair chance at finishing my flight training and obtaining my certificate. Overall I had a great experience with my flight training, and even though at times I wanted to jump out of the plane (without a parachute), in the end I am glad I went with A.F.I.T. to get my training and I would do it again without any doubts.When the time comes for me to seek additional training I will definitely be getting ahold of you for further business.
