How is the quality of training like at Falcon?

I sent you a PM in response to your novel of questions. I think you'll find it helpful as I was brutally honest answering your questions. And like I mentioned in the PM, no place is perect, but I would not go anywhere else as I am overall very happy with Falcon Aviation Academy. And I am sure you would enjoy it here if you decide to come out. Great quality. Great instructors. Great people. Reliable and safe aircraft (great Diamond maintenance service center on site, their own). Reasonable price compared to other programs. Oh, and I been flying the Cessna 182 for my high performance/ complex for single engine commercial and I'd rather fly a Diamond any day over a Cessna as the Diamond simply a lot more fun to fly.

As far as training quality. First rate. We have everyone from new instructors to retired Delta pilots as instructors here (being FFC field in Peachtree City). But it's even so much that. It's simply that Falcon seems to only hire top quality instructors no matter their experience level. So expect the best. I know I enjoyed and learned a lot from every instructor I have had so far.

airjets,

Hey man. . .I hope you visit the Falcon KFFC location before you make a determination on who you'll goto for your flight training.

I highly recommend you read my Falcon Journey blog, and then PM with any questions you'd like me to answer. I'll gladly give you the straight skinny on how I thought my training and employment went at Falcon. Overall, I had a damn great time training there with GREAT instructors, and as an instructor it was one of the most pleasant employers to ever work for.

Feel free to PM me any questions you may have.

I have been to a lot of schools and by far Falcon is one of the best out there.

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but congrat's Josh. Had no clue you already make it to ASA. That's awesome! Heck, pretty quick too (about a year from start to ASA I think or slightly less, yes?). I'll PM ya.
