| Review: | The Staff make the place I've been lucky enough to conduct all my flight training with the professionals at Island Air Flight School. School Facilities are not the greatest however this is not an indication of quality of the flight training at this school. The instruction and ground school are amazing, instructors move at a good steady pace and often draw upon examples that are easy to relate to and understand. The Aircraft are maintained in amazing condition and Mel (school owner) makes sure to keep his instructors on coarse and moving the students along in a timely fashion. Costs are a tad high, but compared to a drive up north to a (closing ) airport on the 404 its worth it. Overall I highly recommend this airport to train at because of the constant commercial traffic making the student get use to busy airspace. From personal experience other pilots that I have talked to that have trained at other airports are generally timid when it comes to talking to air traffic control in busy airspace as well as landing in a cross wind situation ( Runway at the Island often remains the same regardless of wind due to Porter commercial operations). This exposes students to landing in a cross wind condition early on and insures that they get a lot of practice through out their flight training. This also builds student confidence and is one less item to worry about when landing at an airport that only has one runway. I hope to complete my instructor rating with the school and be lucky enough to be a team member on the staff at Island Air. |
