Coast Flight Training

"Coast Flight has been an amazing school to train at so far and I highly recommend it! I am in their general training/ part 61 program going at my own pace. Coast has a curriculum laid out that all their students follow which helps keep me on track and progressing forward. I have the flexibility to create my own schedule each week and choose how many days and events I'd like. The scheduling team is very accommodating to any requests, which is so helpful since I work in addition to training. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable here, and coming from absolutely zero experience in aviation, I have learned so much about what it means to be a PIC (shoutout to Zach!!). Flight training is all about what you put in, and if you put in the effort you will learn something valuable every time you step through those doors. I'll say my passion for aviation has grown exponentially since being with Coast and training alongside some great people. San Diego having such complex airspace and a high volume of traffic, you will become a better pilot here no doubt! Also the views…are unreal! The 6 pack archers and kmyf will forever have a special place in my heart! Thanks Coast!! I’m excited to keep moving through my ratings!"

"Way too expensive for general students and that cancellation fee is ridiculous. $ 250 for 48 hr cancellation fee?! Flight training is already expensive as it is. Luckily I got my money back when I disputed it with the bank because I canceled and switched my flight training to something a lot better and meaningful. For some reason, the site manger try to charge me $ 250 when I switched my training. Didn’t work out. Coming from someone that doesn’t work here or intends to, if you’re a student not in the academy, there’s better and cheaper places where you can get training. I wish I knew this when I started with this place. Save yourself time and money."

"Coast is an outstanding place to both train AND work. I have watched pilots take their very first flight in a single engine plane and then become instructors right before my eyes. Students I have met on day 1 of their training just a couple years ago are already off flying for airlines and living their dream. We have amazing aircraft, top of the line talent, and one hell of a maintenance team keeping our pilots safe and flying the max amount of hours per week. You won't find another school where you can fly this many hours a week and breeze from your private to the airlines before you can blink an eye!"

"If you have any interest in aviation at all - be it figuring out if you're interested in pursuing aviation as a career or hobby, getting your private pilots license for personal use or starting a career as an airline pilot - this is the place to start. They are absolutely fantastic! Every single person associated with Coast is spectacular - they are helpful and accommodating and truly want the very best for each and every person who walks through their doors. Ariana is awesome and is always willing to listen and accommodate your needs and schedule; every single flight instructor I've met has been friendly, professional and passionate about aviation and their students. The school is willing to work around your availability and schedule - I work full time and have a family and am able to train weekends only - at my own pace - during the hours that work best for me. My flight instructor, Nick, is what legends are made of. He's passionate, calm, understanding, professional, charismatic, friendly and he's a phenomenal instructor. Nick recently moved on to the airlines and I have worked with instructors Olivia, Ryan, Cynthia and Zach - and they are all just as passionate, friendly, calm and professional. There really isn't a better place to go if you want to pursue aviation. If you have any interest in obtaining your PPL (or beyond), this is the place to call."

"After finishing my training I knew I wanted to stay as an instructor and continue being apart of this flight school. The main reason I wanted to be here was the atmosphere we have. Instructors are always offering their support. On top of that, the aircraft used for training are some of the best planes you’ll find around."
