Premier Flight Center

"If I had to give 3 words for premier, they would be: pragmatic, productive, and efficent. I recently completed their 5 day accelerated multi course, with Matt Beaty as my MEI. Hands down, some of the best instruction I’ve gotten. Matt is an expert on ME training, and has done countless sign offs with an extremely high first time pass rate. The time spent is very focused, and their established course flow is highly effective. Although the course is rather accelerated and felt like a lot at times, he made it clear at the beginning of the week that it’s normal to feel that way. Matt will not scratch your back and let you get away with improficiency, but the same time he will not spend more time or energy on any particular area than necessary. The pricing is also super competitive, especially considering the high quality of equipment and experienced instructors. If you area willing to put in 5-6 days of concentrated work and aren’t afraid to be coachable, you will have a good experience and walk away with a multi engine land rating added to your certificate. Highly recommend! -Griffin"

"As a student here, I am extremely pleased. You can tell the staff cares about students. They pay attention to your progress, they don’t waste your time or efforts on unnecessary flights, and they encourage good ADM over ‘just get your hours in’ When CFIs leave to move upwards in their careers, they care about their students and try to ensure a smooth transition to another instructor. That said, the team here is not a just bunch of new, inexperienced instructors, they have experienced leaders, and those new instructors that make the cut, are great at what they do. This isn’t an airline pilot farm, this is a flight school. It’s a tight enough community of students and instructors that I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t know at least my first name, and we all share learning experiences because we actively see enough of each other to benefit from shared stories. They’re hooked up with the local college as well, so you CAN go here through a college program. If you’re in the Ozarks, and you want the structure of a 141 school with the camaraderie and family feeling of a 61 school. Then you probably should come and talk to the folks here at Premier."

"Super friendly staff and very clean lobby and restrooms."

"Brian Morgan, the DPE, has so much passion for safety, and teaching students to be pilots real pilots, not just some stick who can do the maneuvers.it pleases me so much, that I plan to come to work at the school when I get my ratings and retire from my other full time job."

"Awesome flight school!! I was down from chicago and called last minute to see if they could fit me in just to fly around the area for a few hours. They were kind enough to grab an instructor last minute and get me flying. Noah, one of the instructors came with me and we flew a warrior down to branson for the famous 400.00 hamburger lol. He was a great instructor, very professional and a really nice guy. The flight school itself is in the old terminal building and is really spacious, well kept and has an awesome redbird simulator. Their planes seem to me kept in great condition and were all nice and clean. I hope to get back here sometime in the near future."
