Aviator College

Hey Guys,

Here is the link

Does anybody have any additional information? I see a lot of good things but would appreciate if anybody could give me some inside information.

Thanks.

Ed.

There should be some relevent information in this forum. Take what people say with a grain of salt but take it nonetheless.

Aviator is growing rapidly; over 60 new students are slated to start both the College and Professional Programs in January. Additional staff have been hired and new planes will be arriving in January.

I'm a student at Aviator and work part-time here too, answering the phones. Feel free to reach me at 607-351-2191 or dwe213@yahoo.com. I just passed my Commercial Single Add-on today, and now it's back to the books for the Instructor Ratings.

Congrats...... Hit that FOI hard its a tough one. Have you taken Pierre's CFI class yet? Say Hi to Mike and Pierre for me.

New planes or new planes to Ari-Ben? What kind?

Bill--yes, I took Pierre's class earlier this year and he was amazing--the most knowledgeable Aviation Instructor I've ever met and always professional, friendly and available to answer questions. Gonzo--Mike said that there are a bunch of new (new to Aviator) planes arriving shortly but I don't know any details yet.

I also remember when there were a bunch of new planes to arrive 'shortly'. They did not arrive in the six months I was there, but they did retire two airplanes that hit their spar limits. The days of only a couple of operational airplanes continued.

You're such a negitive ninny Nick

Just hoping my experience can save someone else from being ripped off.

I went there and I don't feel like I was ripped off, quite the contrary I got what I went there for.

..... just saying

Bill I have no doubt you don't feel like you were ripped off and that is good that you had a good experience, but that doesn't make Nick's experience any better or untrue.

Nick, "a couple of operational airplanes"? When were at Aviator?

There's about 25 planes and 200+ students here now, with more planes and many new students arriving in January . Take a look at the photos to see how it's grown: http://www.aviator.edu/home/student-information/campus.aspx

I was there in 2006, and they had a similar number of airplanes. Usually eight or so operational, but that would slowly dwindle as maintenance got behind. Eventually it would get to 2-3, and Mike would scream at instructors, customers and maintenance alike, before closing the school for a day or two so that they could catch up.

I know Gonz..... everybody is going to judge their experience from their own frame of reference.... just jerking his chain

Im at Aviator right now. As soon as I finish my CFIs (hopefully mid May) and get out of here, I will post a complete review, so stay tuned...
