I recently had an incredible discovery flight with Advanced International Aviation Academy, and I can’t say enough about my experience. My instructor, Dylon Hopkins, was outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about flying. From the moment we took off, he made me feel at ease, explaining everything clearly and answering all my questions. The whole experience fueled my excitement about the possibility of becoming a pilot. It was an unforgettable day!

My son and I did a dual discovery flight on a Cessna 172. Our instructor Ed was so nice, personable, funny, knowledgeable, and patient. He made us feel so comfortable and confident as we both took turns controlling the aircraft. I believe every flight instructor should have Ed’s combination of experience, professionalism and personality. Thank you Ed!

I had the privilege of working with Capt.Sohail Kapoor during my journey to becoming a private pilot, and I can honestly say that it was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the moment we began training, Capt.Sohail Kapoor provided unwavering support and guidance, helping me achieve one of the most memorable milestones in my life—my first solo flight.

Throughout the entire process, Capt.Sohail Kapoor was always patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. No matter the challenge, he always ensured that I understood everything clearly and was fully confident in my abilities. His dedication to my success was truly evident, and it’s thanks to him that I was able to pass my Private Pilot checkride with confidence on the first go.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue my journey with him as I pursue my Commercial Pilot’s License. There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll be training with him again—without thinking twice!

If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about your success and will guide you through every step of your aviation journey, I highly recommend Capt.Sohail Kapoor You’ll be in great hands!

I recently booked a discovery flight with Advanced Aviation Academy. My instructor was Ed and he showed me around the facility, explained what the school has to offer, and lastly we flew. While in the air he explained the basics of the controls and even let me do a few maneuvers! Ed was personable with great energy and was an excellent instructor. I am looking forward to taking flight lessons with him once I get done with ground school! I highly recommend doing a discovery flight with them. It sealed the deal with me for pursing in getting my private pilots license!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a discovery flight with Capt. Sean, and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. Capt. Sean's professionalism and passion for aviation were evident. He took the time to thoroughly explain the pre-flight procedures, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. This made the experience enjoyable and educational 🙂

I’ve been working on my goal of becoming a pilot for my entire life. I stumbled on the this absolute game changer of an opportunity to pursue this goal on my own terms and not have to take out a hefty loan from a bank by paying for my training as I go with there easy account system. This school is absolutely the best way to get you certificates all the way from sport pilot to airline transport pilot.

I have been blessed to have a great CFI captain Sohail Kapoor is very professional, knowledgeable and skilled at not only controlling the aircraft but teaching as well. He has been extremely encouraging and consistent in our trading and I’m very much looking forward to continuing training with him.

My experience in this school and with my instructor Capt. Sohail has been amazing. He's not only a great instructor but also a great mentor. He puts a lot of efforts in teaching his students. With him, not only I learned how to fly an aircraft but also how to stay ahead of the aircraft and fly it smoothly. He's a very fun person to fly with. Because of him I passed my private pilot checkride in one go. Not only me, but all of his students passed the checkride in one go. After training with him the checkride seems like a piece of cake.
