| Review: | Got what I paid for I honestly dont know what are these guys problems, if you are serious about aviation then you will have no problem here. I did everything from private to multi commercial in 6 months, of course there were delays, but that happens in every school. The flight instructors are HIGHLY knowledgeable, and the aircrafts are relatively new, their oldest one is from 2005. If you are serious about becoming a professional pilot you will go trough your training quick and you will be here writing a good review like im doing.. if you are irresponsible and lazy you'll be writing a bad review, like some of the guys are doing. If you have any questions just add me on skype, its felopilot, ill show you what I mean. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | My review for Epic Aviation Me and my son have considered a long time, before choosing Epic Aviation. And because of their great training, facilities and offers, we never regreted our Decision. The training was great, the instructors were friendly, and the training was never hasty. the quiet athmosphere was very important, because a student off course doesn’t know everything, and Epic Aviation understands very well, that it’s their responsibility to teach their students. The training only works if the student and the instructor are able to work together . In my opinion, Epic did a great job. Thanks to Epic, my son has obtained his private pilot license, and is going to get his instrument rating off course also at Epic Aviation. Unfortunatelly his training was delayed by the unpredictable weather in Florida, but in the end, I’m happy that at Epic they don’t take any chances or risks. I also want to mention the clean facilities, the great simulators and the very helpfull teaching materials. The training was very disciplined, so any misbehaviour by students was stopped right at the beginning. As a father I can only recommend this school to anyone, who appreciates quality. Students have to know, that they learn for themselves and not fort he instructor or the school. I hope, the next part of my sons training at Epic Aviation will be as effective and fast as the first part. Like I said before, I can only recommend this school. All parts 10 point is sure.

| Review: | Don't go here! I've never met an epic student who was happy with their training. FACT: Epic mis-managed its fleet so badly that they had to come begging ATP to lease them their oldest '79 series Piper Seminoles. FACT: Epic's own instructors were not paid or had their pay checks bounce at one point. FACT: Epic does a very poor job communicating with their students and keeping them informed! Its not uncommon to see students just waiting around not knowing when their instructor is going to show up. Look at the reviews here. They are either terrible or glowing. Believe the bad ones, they all have the same consistent message; Don't pay up front, the management is poor, and the garuntees are worthless. The reviews giving Epic 10/10 are clearly made up by current Epic staff. I would say try looking at ATP. Since you'd be flying their aircraft anyway. However, ATP recently hired Mike Campbell (former Epic manager) as their sales guy at Daytona Beach. So now you're sure to be getting the same empty promises and BS from ATP that dragged Epic down. Epic and Campbell both have a terrible reputation in the area. Please talk to current or former Epic students about the school's reputation! Not the Epic staff!! If you want a recommendation on where to do your training, contact an FAA Pilot Examiner. They do check rides at every flight school and see the results first hand. Comments [ 1 ] |

| Review: | Total fraud school This school is a total fraud. I am a former student. Their fixed price programs are a sham. After they take all the money, they remove you from the fixed program on some lame excuse. They do not have even have their own multi engine planes for training. Their fleet advertised on the website is a joke. They charge exorbitant rent for substandard housing. The housing pictures advertised on the website are fake. They treat all students on M1 visas especially badly. They threaten to cancel your M1 visa if you dont obey their diktats. Comments [ 3 ] |
