The CAVU Pilot 2701 Spence Place, Knoxville, TN 37920

"Flying has opened up a whole new world for me. The convenience it offers in getting somewhere is incredible. Eric and his team at CAVU do a great job and prepared me well. As an older pilot, I was concerned if I could achieve this goal at my age, but I recently received my instrument rating training there and had a great experience!"

"CAVU is an amazing flight school. I needed to add on my fixed wing ratings and needed to do it quickly. Eric (owner) was quick and responsive. He paired me up with the perfect instructor (Nick). Communication was great all the way through start to finish and their aircraft’s are top notch!"

"I did I discovery flight, and my instructor was very clear with directions told me everything that I needed to know and make me feel comfortable. I highly recommend."

"The dream of flight has always a goal of mine since I was a child. I took my discovery flight in 2017. After having been through two other schools, I finally found The CAVU Pilot. Eric and his team are true professionals that are organized and they're for the right reasons. I went through this program, solo'ing with around 10 hours and got my PPL at 55 hours. Don't waste your time and energy on any other school in the Knoxville area! You need to fly with instructors you trust and can connect with, this team is outstanding. The CAVU Pilot doesn't just have customers, they all become friends!"

"I completed my Private Pilot Certificate, spin training and Instrument rating with The CAVU Pilot. If I could give them 6 stars, I would! Eric Dragonetti (owner / Chief Pilot) is one of the most impressive people I have ever met. He has a talent and a passion for teaching. As a student of The CAVU Pilot, there’s never any doubt that their goal is to train you to be the most proficient and safe pilot you can be! They currently have two aircraft (a high wing and a low wing) that are both well equipped for instrument training. You will not find a trainer plane in East TN with better avionics. My family has some experience with a few different flight schools in the area and if my kids came to me with the desire to learn to fly, I would only send them to CAVU. Oh- and the instructors are also really FUN, too!"
