Meet Our Graduates

Ever since I was young, I've always wanted to be a pilot. After high school I started looking into flight schools and talking to a lot of people to try to figure out which one to go to. I went to Suncrest Aviation and talked with them. The people there were very friendly and professional. They invited me to bring in my wife, and together we talked about the pros and cons of being a helicopter pilot.

At Suncrest, I felt like they were being very honest with me. I felt like they had my best interests in mind. Scheduling was something I was very concerned about. I was working full time and trying to raise a family. Suncrest was very flexible with their scheduling. They allowed me to come to school when I was able to, and work at my own pace. I believe that Suncrest Aviation has the best instructors in the industry. They are very professional and knowledgeable. I found that their prices were the lowest of the schools I researched.

I finished with my training in just over a year and am now enjoying a career I've always wanted. I am extremely satisfied with my choice in Suncrest and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to join the industry.
