Reviews of Pacific States Aviation Flight Academy
"I was a student pilot coming from out of state to continue my training at PSA. I can't emphasize enough that as a student pilot, PSA is one of the worst places you can go for multiple reasons: They are one of the most expensive places in the area. Their plane rental is much higher than any other schools or rental places nearby. They also tack on a significant fuel surcharge making them even more expensive. Along those lines, they also charge you instructor time for pre and post flight. The pre flight is because you have to fill out a form before every flight, and the instructor has to sign it. You won't even see your instructor for this time, but you pay for the privilege of their signature. They also charge you for signing your logbook after the flight. The school will milk you for every single dime. I was a part 61 student, but they still force you to do the stage checks that part 141 students do. So you have to pay for these flights and instructors, and if you are ever so slightly out of the head instructor's preferences, you have to redo the entire flight with them costing you another couple hundred dollars. The instructors are not versed in what the head instructor wants in a stage check. Because of this, you end up wasting a lot of time in training only to fail the stage check and then having to spend more money on more training and retaking the stage check. You are effectively paying to have PSA train their instructors. The stage check examiner expects you to fly like he flies. As a student pilot, we're going to make mistakes. As long as these mistakes don't lead to dangerous situations, that should be ok. But they expect you to fly to commercial standards from the get-go. And the final reason I left PSA was because of Jonathan Shand. Jonathan Shand is the worst person to fly with. He did my stage checks and will make you hate flying. I legitimately wanted to jump out of the plane after flying with him. He didn't explain what he wanted, and scrutinized me when I failed and overall makes you feel like the worst pilot in the world. After 10 hours of solo time, we were on a stage 2 check, and it wasn't going well. On the final landing, I was a little low (3 red, 1 white), and was trying to fix it, but then he took the controls and didn't allow me to continue. Even worse was he wouldn't even let me taxi back to the school. He made me feel like I was unfit to even touch the controls of the airplane. After that, I left the school and went to a different instructor. After the first flight with that instructor, he signed me off on solo and he just helped me tweak a few issues. I soon after got my checkride and I passed with flying colors. The DPE actually said "You fly really well." It just gave me one more signal that it wasn't me, but PSA and Jonathan Shand."
"My wife got me the introductory flight lessons for my birthday. The instructor whose name was josuy was very good. I was able to take off in the airplane after the 30 minute tutorial that he gave me. He was Very knowledgeable about aviation and I had a great time."
"If you trying to make part 61 this is not your place. I came telling them that I was almost done with all the requirements in 14 CFR 61.65, for instrument rating, that I needed help, I knew that I hadn’t flip in Bay Area (Travis app) and never with G1000 to do instruments, so I accepted to take the challenge that we talked about. Since the first flight the instructor told me to bring my device to fly instrument, thing that jumped to my sight, obviously paying for it but my first flight in this area needs and with new avionics for me, any professional instructor would think to take me in a familiarize flight, due that is not a normal IFR plan, need to see the clearance for practices and things like that They just work with one DPE, who is going for vacation for more than 4 weeks, so after flights in wich the instructor told me I was ready, obviously some points to publish but not unsafe, I asked them to schedule my checkride, after one week on instructor out of town, he comes to me and tells me, a lot of mistakes that we didn’t discuss in Anayeli post flight review, asking me to fly at least 3 times a week for 6 weeks, 18 times totally, 9000 dollars, so this became in a school getting in to students pockets (at least for part 61)."
"Super professional and informative flight lesson. Fantastic staff that went the extra mile to accommodate due to inclement weather. Highly recommended !!"
"I had an amazing time on my first discovery flight today and Frank my instructor was awesome!. The staff was very helpful and I am looking forward to returning for further instruction!."
