Heritage Flight Academy CFII rating

[Ridgewoodpilot]

I was hoping that someone might have some input on this flight school. Heritage Flight Academy located at ISP NY. It was the former American Flyers, although I believe its the same owners just doing business under a different name. Anyway it seemed like a very proffesional atmosphere. Apparently they have the identical course outlines as American Flyers, so if anyone had done their CFI/CFII at AF that info would help. If anyone had heard anything, good or bad about the place or its CFI/CFII program its greatly appreciated.

I'd be curious about feedback here too.

i was there about a month ago to get info about the CFI academy they offer. I spoke with the manager who told me that he was the former American flyers manager but he decided to open up his own business.They look very professional and they are very nice people.Their CFI academy is the same like AF and i dont suggest to anybody to do it.Even the manager told me that you have to be well prepared before to start to get ur licenses on time.In any case, im still studying for my CFI by myself, but when i feel ready i think i will give them a chance. They look like they know what they are doing.

I checked them out. A very nice facility and a great president. Lots of study rooms, a FTD, class rooms, computers, etc. I didn't see the fleet, except for the Citabria and a Duchess. Both seemed in good condition. I ended up not signing on as the daily commute from NYC would have killed me.
