EpicSky Flight Academy

"Y’all! This is THE flight school you want to attend! The entire staff goes above and beyond invariably. The aircrafts are in great shape and super well maintained. If you get Faisal Ahmed as an instructor, you are undoubtedly in the best hands. He always goes the extra mile to make sure his students clearly understand what is being taught. Never will you leave his class confused! You genuinely feel like you’re a part of their family, seriously such great people! If you want to learn how to fly and have an absolute blast while you're at it, EpicSky will not disappoint!"

"Epic Sky has been great for me and my busy schedule. They are always accommodating for me and really allow you to work at your own pace. Amazing facility, and even better instructors who are full of knowledge. Big shout out to my instructor Ricky who has been patient with my pace and has been available any time to answer questions or address concerns!!"

"EpicSky is a great flight academy! They have an amazing program and a welcoming atmosphere. Ricky is my flight instructor and has done a lot to teach me how to become the best pilot I can be. If you are looking for flight school I would highly recommend EpicSky!"

"I've attended EpicSky Flight Academy for approximately 7 months, ultimately pursuing a Commercial Pilot Rating. I chose them over other local and regional options for several reasons. 1) They are a dedicated Part 61 flight instruction institution, rather than a charter service or flying club that also happens to provide flight training. As such, their instructors are full time and training aircraft are readily available. 2) They are based out of KDSM (Des Moines Intl.) which provides students invaluable real-world experience operating out of a towered/controlled airport. 3) They offer small group in-person ground school classes, which I find to have a distinct academic advantage over self-guided online courses, in terms of overall comprehension and retention of the curriculum. 4) They operate a full-motion FAA certified flight simulator, a cost effective alternative means of logging flight hours, particularly during inclement weather. The administrative staff has been friendly, communicative, and receptive to any concerns or complaints that I've voiced. They have actively taken steps to remedy issues I brought forward, and have been very accommodating and helpful in terms of scheduling. Overall, I have had a positive experience. The aircraft are well maintained, featuring state of the art avionics, and the school is currently in the process of doubling its fleet size. I'm impressed by the professionalism and caliber of the instructors under whom I've had the pleasure of training, particularly CFIs Faisal AHMED and Omer MARCIANO. Both gentlemen are highly knowledgeable and skilled and have truly held me to the highest standard, in preparation for entry into an industry that demands nothing less."

"Epic Sky is an amazing pilot training school! Their ground classes are intense and thorough. I have had amazing instruction from Omer in ground classes. I have had equally excellent flight training with Santiago who is not only knowledgeable but also patient and kind. If you are looking for a challenge or an exciting new career I highly recommend Epic Sky!"
