“The training at USFA met all my expectations. It was efficient and at the same time individualized. Every moment I had complete confidence in my instructor's methods and approach to teaching. It's obvious that he loves flying and loves showing people how to do it in the safest possible way.”
“Thanks for teaching me to fly. I very much appreciated your working around my busy schedule. The pleasant and courteous staff were a delight to deal with and instructors made the most difficult maneuvers simple to understand and do. Their patience and professionalism are to be commended.”
“USFA was recommended to me by another pilot who had recently completed his flight training for his private license. Being away from flying for many years, I contacted USFA and was assured that my training would be completed with consideration of my busy schedule. Six weeks later I completed my check ride and had finally realized a life‑long dream. The training I received was excellent and all my questions were answered and demonstrated to my satisfaction. Many thanks to Jarle Boe for his dedication to aviation.”
