Pilotsmith, Inc.

"Pilotsmith is one of the top flight schools I've experienced over more than two decades as a student and flight instructor. This is where I would want to work as a flight instructor and where I would send my friends and family. You can trust that you will be cared for, properly trained to achieve mastery, and be supported and encouraged to continue with lifelong learning as a pilot. Pilotsmith is organized, professional, efficient, and supportive. Facilities are purposeful, well thought out, clean, and accessible. Wonderfully knowledgeable and committed administrators and flight instructors have crafted a destination-level flight program. Trent displays empathy, a commitment to helping new and experienced pilots achieve their goals, helps to develop flight instructors, and strives for continuous improvement with a strong commitment to the school and the community. Do not discount the incredible training environment and yes - mostly year round opportunities in northeast Wisconsin. Numerous accessible airports, both towered and non-towered, air traffic services, ample (think unlimited) practice areas, conducive elevations and weather conditions for instrument flight experience and a variety of instrument approaches galore provide a truly unparalleled, real - world environment to hone your skills. Along with wonderful aircraft, flight simulation devices help students achieve proficiency and confidence as they safely emulate tasks that we can't duplicate in the aircraft. In addition to fantastic traditional aircraft like Cessna, you'll find absolutely incredible Cirrus initial and transition training programs. Top tier Cirrus Chief Pilot Ingrid is one of the best teachers and pilots I've been able to work with - including the two National Flight Instructors of the year and award winning CFI and examiner I was privileged to learn from and fly with. She’s a remarkably committed instructor, experienced pilot, and has a supportive demeanor. Ingrid generously and effectively shares her experience to help you succeed before, during, and after training! I can't think of a better place to accomplish my own training or to send my friends and family than Pilotsmith."

"One of the best choices I made in the process of pursuing my dream as a pilot, has been by far becoming a student at PilotSmith in green bay. At PilotSmith you are not just a student or instructor, you are part of a family. You feel welcome as soon as you step in the door, not matter who you are, or where you come from. From a student's perspective I can say that each instructor is very knowledgeable and their main goal is to teach the students everything they know. They work with the student and they make sure you know what you need to know to fly safely. PilotSmith is also in a great location. One of the big pluss for the school is the relationship with the control personnel at the airport. The control personnel patiently work with the student to make sure that the calls made and all the direction given have been understood. I would give PilotSmith a 10 start rating if I could ***"

"I highly recommend Pilotsmith if you are looking for professional, experienced, transparent and honest flight school that is dedicated to create safe pilots. After graduating myself I would not hesitate to recommend Pilotsmith to anyone that is planning to obtain a pilot's license."

"As a multi-engine instrument rated pilot who trained at at a few different flight schools - I know what makes a flight school amazing. It has to be structured and professional - yet feel like a supportive family. With my son's decision to pursue a career in aviation I knew right away and continue to know Pilotsmith is the right flight school you can confidently choose. Trent and Tyler consistently reinforce that Pilotsmith is special, and they want to create amazing pilots instead of flight instructors just building the minimum hours to advance their careers."

"It the first time for both of us ever flying a plane. John was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the experience. He made sure we were both comfortable and having fun. I was extremely nervous so this was no small feat. I would recommend this experience for anyone who is thinking about getting their license or just wants to try something new. He was excellent. Highly, highly recommend!"
