Recently completed my CMEL at Flight Stars and had an amazing experience. The planes are well-maintained and great to fly, and the course was fast and efficient. Highly recommend!

Absolutely AMAZING experience! I spent $6k at another school to get 15 PIC and got told there was no checkride. Flight Stars got it done right.

Fantastic company and crew. I was able to get my MEL done quicker than expected thanks to Dylan Meyer being a fantastic instructor by showing up prepared each flight and making my time and money worth it. Would recommend it to anyone.
