CHS Flight School

"I came to Charleston for the accelerated commercial program. It was very well laid out and efficient. I would definitely recommend it."

"This place advertises “aircraft rentals,”and that's what this review pertains too. I’m a retired USAF/airline pilot. I rented small aircraft locally for the last 7 years just to still be able to “slip the surlys” until I lost my medical recently. I now fly w a CFII who has been renting from CHS Flt School. In the last 2 weeks, he’s twice had an aircraft scheduled for rent only to be cancelled on short notice for “student training.” People make plans for this stuff well in advance only to be bumped a day before. This place may be fine for GETTING flight instruction, but if you’re looking for a place to rent from, you’d do well to find someplace else that’s actually reliable."

"Have really enjoyed both renting and my IFR training. Ricky has been helpful as my instructor and follows through on getting answers to questions or resources I ask about. Clint (one of the owners) has bent over backwards to help me with scheduling and has been a great resource to just talk to about aviation in general. They have a lot of planes and two simulators. I had never done any simulator training during my private pilot training, but once I experienced it during my instrument training I realized how helpful it is. It saves times and money for training. I recommend giving them a try. They are down to earth and care about you as a person."

"Flight simulator and joy flight offered as gift. The person who received was thrilled. A great and memorable moment not just for them but for everyone assisting. Highly recommend! Bring your camera."

"Charleston Flight School has everything I could have asked for in a flight school. As a private pilot looking to start my instrument rating, I looked at many schools in the area. Charleston Flight School has not only an impressive fleet and simulator, but also a knowledgeable and encouraging team of instructors. I was sold on this school as soon as I saw their detailed instrument rating syllabus and “game plan”. The personalized experience has allowed me to communicate directly with my instructor to set up times that work with my busy schedule, and the location is convenient. Flying out of Charleston International is beneficial because the Charleston Flight School instructors can provide you with experience and knowledge about complex radio communication. Overall, I am glad to be a part of this flight school and am eager to progress in my instrument training with their help."
