I got my private at Channel Islands Aviation and enjoyed every minute of it. All the staff was very friendly and on top of things. My training was nice and structured to keep things on track and efficient. The safety and my progress was most important and their planes are in good condition. Del & David are so nice and encouraging, and with every landmark they made it special. Thanks to everyone for your support.
Were taking covid-19 situation very seriously, says the message on the phone, yet your fuel people dont even bother wearing a mask. Thanks for caring!
If I could go give this place a -5 stars I would. I took two days off of work to prepare for an aviation test. Then scheduled it through their testing center pay their $160 fee and arrived on time 15 minutes early and they decided they were Overbooked with no caller notification to me. Now because of the urgency of getting this test done I must drive to LA take another day off work cost me thousands of dollars because of their incompetence. I am near to my private pilots license and thinking about an aviation company to help me get to the finish line with my private lessons But I would rather drive to LA then use his company. They had the opportunity to bump someone else that was scheduled 3 days away and they said that was not an option I guess that next person is more important.
Great trip to the Channel Islands! Mark was a great pilot and a joy to fly with.
Highly recommend this place to learn how to fly. Ive done all of my flight training here and the instruction was great. Ive been to bad flight schools and can say CIA knows what they are doing. They tell you what to expect up front and dont hide anything from the customer.
This company gives lessons over my house daily. I have to listen to them.for hours. There are miles of farmland, go over them not our houses. So much for 6 feet apart, I doubt anyone in the cockpit sitting arm to arm are wearing masks. GO FLY OVER SOMEONE ELSE HOUSE!!!
The best maintained fleet around. The flight desk personnel are the most helpful and friendly people you could meet.
Amazing
Got stuck for a few hours with the morning fog and it was a fantastic FBO to wait in. It was clean, has good wifi, and indoor/outdoor seating for your wait. Service is terrific as well if you need fuel or even a ride to the aircraft museum!
Great trip to Santa Rosa. Mark was super knowledgeable.
Rented their Cessnas from 1996-98. Lots of good memories!
I dont know about their lessons but Im tired of them circling my house for 50 mins at a time. I dont like that they try to hide their identities by shutting off their transponders. Well, today you left it on too long.
Fabulous trip with a great pilot Mark.
Their planes N918VT and N52858 are constantly flying private residences in the the Calabasas and Ventura area. These planes fly very dangerously low, and they harass the neighbors!!
Best flight school ever.
This place is a huge waste of time and money. They will go out of their way to pull your chain and drain your resources. They do not keep thier appointments
