Cactus Aviation

"After having a bad experience at another flight school, I tried Cactus. I can say one thing for sure, the instructor will not remember you and they don't feel like they need to produce an actual pilot. I have been waiting over a month for them to contact me over my last flight with them. Update: So I started flying with another CFI. He has pointed out numerous things the people at Cactus aviation have done wrong. Since flying with another instructor I have been signed off to solo on my 3rd flight with him. Any mention of solo at Cactus made them cringe as they felt they were losing money by making me jump through all the hopes they felt were necessary and not required by the FAA. I would recommend running as fast as you can away from Cactus Aviation and find someone who actually cares if you succeed and live your dreams."

"I took my Airman knowledge test and the staff was extremely polite and helpful. The testing room was clean and quiet"

"Update: I posted the review below earlier as I was having issues contacting their office manager. What I didn’t know is that there were extenuating circumstances that caused the issues. They contacted me and were completely professional and very timely. A great place to FLY!! Excellent instructors and good aircraft. The office receptionist goes above and beyond to help. Issues with their communication methods but they did resolve all issues eventually. Before putting a large sum down I suggest you read all documents carefully, especially the $1000 early termination penalty. That being said, this is a good place to learn to fly."

"Staff helpful and very friendly. Felt totally at ease during my flight session."

"The staff is very helpful and friendly! I love the fact that there office is located inside the main airport building."
