West Michigan Flight Academy 9100 Vinton Avenue Northwest, Sparta, MI 49345

"Apparently not manned during the winter though Google says they're open until 4:00pm. I did talk to an instructor from there in the airport office who was very friendly and helpful so a big thanks go out to him since he was getting ready to fly with a student and took the tiime to chat a bit. Anyway, it's probably best to give them a call before going. So, my experience with them is quite limited but want to get in touch to get flying again."

"They were very helpful in getting me a discovery flight the same day within hours of talking to them and they advised me to save me money for lessons. In addition, Patrick recommended getting an online subscription for the FAA Written exam."

"This is a great flight school that is only 15 minutes north of Grand Rapids at the Sparta Airport! I learned in N6520W, a Piper Cherokee 140 that is a solid plane and I was able to achieve my Private Pilot's license. I highly recommend them!"

"My son and I are taking our first steps towards our private pilots license together. We're glad this is was the place. Patrick and his staff are professional and great at sharing their very real passion for aviation while striving to make it accessible. Our instructor, Austin Brumfield is phenomenal. We felt confident with him immediately. The airplanes appear in great shape. We were in a PA-28-140. I'm glad a 4 seater was available so I could ride with my son on his first flight in a single-engine. The experience was fantastic. Picture perfect. What an absolutely wonderful evening for a flight! (Sept 15, 2021) The rental rates are appropriate and includes the fuel. Being located at the Sparta Miller airport is great. This is a very well kept, organized and accessible facility. Excellent lounge area. Clean and comfortable. We're hooked."

"People were friendly and helpful, and the helicopter ride was fun. It's not cheap, but if you can afford it, I would recommend it. A 10 minute ride seems to go by pretty quick, but the ride is as long as they promise it to be."
