FLYT Aviation

"My experience with this school was horrible. I spent 11 month and i only got 75 flight hours and I didn't even get my private pilot license. During my time there I would be scheduled to fly but then my plane would be scheduled to go to the mechanic, this happened frequently. Sometimes the airplanes were only available to students who were getting ready for their check rides and not to other paying students. I stopped the training August 2023 due to these issues and they are refusing to reimburse the money they took from my loan even though I didn’t use the hours/funds. The financial guy of the school Haller Hamlin appears to have blocked my phone number and won’t respond to my emails. One good thing i learned some basics of flying that I can use to MAYBE pursue my training somewhere else Cause I'm completely discouraged right now"

"Received a quote from Jason after contacting the company via website three times and two phone calls. Their price is extremely over priced and to top it off, no one responds to emails. I do not see the value paying an over inflated price when they cannot perform simple tasks such as getting prices and answering questions."

"There are SO many better flight schools. Please do your research. Flyt has fantastic aircraft, and a few great instructors. But besides that this place is a nightmare for student pilots. This flight school is an unethical trap for students who are not knowledgeable about alternatives. They will drain you of your money and will leave you with little to show for it. Please be careful, these people are not here to help you."

"My son signed up for assistance in wrapping up his PPL in Athens and was enjoying the instruction when his instructor was abruptly fired. He was assigned a new instructor and about two weeks later he was notified that they were closing the school in Athens with only a few days notice and only 6 hours of training remaining. The school offered to wrap up his training in one long weekend at Peachtree City but that is a 90 minute drive in good traffic and not the best way to learn in one very long lesson vs small bites of learning. He decided to ask for his unused hours to be refunded and pursue wrapping up his training at WDR (he paid in full in advance) they totally ghosted him and would not return his calls. After calling every day for 2 weeks he filed a credit dispute with AMEX to have the money returned. Horrible treatment for a new pilot and very unprofessional. Good at training but bad at business."

"FLYT is a great place to rent well maintained and new aircraft. Some of the Cessna 172s have the G1000 which really makes the cross country flights a great experience. The rental rates are very reasonable for what you get. The scheduling system is efficient and easy to use. I’d recommend to anyone looking to rent or learn south of the Atlanta area."
