The instructors are nothing but the best, I was very prepared for my check ride and had no concern on passing. The airplanes are very well maintained and most have upgraded avionics. The pricing is very competitive as well, I priced out all the flight schools within the area before choosing Inflight. Overall, I am beyond happy that I chose Inflight for my flight training and plan to continue my aviation journey here.read less

Most planes are equipped with dual G5 and GTN 650, plus the iPad provided by the school, it just makes flying easier and more enjoyable. It is true that the airport can be busy sometimes with many other flights schools here, but it is a really good opportunity for practice radio communication and flying in a busy airspace in my opinion.read less

I intended to shop around and find the right school, but as soon as I completed my discovery flight (Inflight was the first place I tried based on a personal recommendation and good reviews), I never gave other schools a second thought. Everyone I spoke to, or trained with, was genuine and helpful. Pricing was very transparent, and it felt like every lesson I had was valuable and delivered at my pace. I got lucky and stuck with my primary CFI (Cameron) from the Discovery Flight all the way to my Check-ride. Not only did he prepare me well enough to pass on my first try, he had a ton of useful info about real-world flying too, of which he regularly worked into lessons (watch out for deer on the rural taxiways at night!) The few times I flew with other CFIs, I felt like they were well-prepped on where I was at personally, and the lesson just continued from where I left off. Little things like that are what make me believe that everyone at Inflight cares how well you do. Also, the planes are well maintained. They have a pretty nice variety available with some fancy stuff, but let's be real, I'm choosing to fly the older 172s because they are affordable. But despite the vintage, most have newer avionics and are well taken care of, and I never ran into any maintenance issues. Overall, they felt very safe. On the whole, my entire experience at Inflight was great, and I look forwards to my instrument training here and continuing as a renter.read less

The instructors (Kayla and max) were so calm with me and getting me use to the plane and what it can actually do and how safe it is to fly. I 100% recommend this flight school. During the first few lessons, I flew with max. He is a great instructor and is a great teacher. During stalls (I’m terrified at 6,500ft) Max help me concurre the fear. He is amazing at showing you what exactly he is wanting you to do and what’s it suppose to feel like. Even though I was sweating profusely lol, max wanted to make sure I knew how to get out of that situation that can turn deadly closer to the ground. While he is happy in the sky high up and I’m comfortable by the ground, he helped me understand that the higher up we are is the safest place to be during something by like this. Now on to Kayla. She has experience at what I was going through and showed me exactly what the plane is capable of. She has an amazing deal of knowledge and is able to explain to me in great detail of the reason behind why the plane is doing that. Which comforts me. She told me a word to say when the turbulence got bad which was (that was spicy). 🤣 I will forever use this word to help. Even though I’m not able to finish out here I would have loved to. 150% recommend flying with either of these amazing CFIs. They are not just teachers but life long friends. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for helping with my dreams and conquering my fear. If your scared of heights go conquer your fear, once you get in the plane after a couple of times the views are amazing. (Below are some pics Kayla took on one of our 7am flights)read less

From day one Mr. Berk treated my husband in a very bad way. Every time my husband shows to the class he got treated like he does not understand a thing and like he is a dumb person. Instead of teaching Mr. Berk was examining and shouting on my husband. After teen hours of stressful over whelming disrespect-able classes, Mr. Berk had a week off during which my husband decided to check other trainers in other airports. When Mr. Berk was back, he started cancelling classes for no reason then rescheduling it on his own without any request of acceptance from my husband. Lastly Mr. Berk kicked the next class to another instructor named Jennifer without consulting if my husband is ok with that. At this point my husband decided that he is not comfortable with the way he is been treated in inflight and decided to cancel his membership and all the pre scheduled classes he had till the end of October. When my husband called to cancel his classes the person on the phone did not even care asking for the reason of cancellation but in contrary he charged my husband for a cancellation fee that he was not aware of. I really do not suggest working with these people, they think they are better than others and have zero respect to their students tossing them around in their busy schedule trying to milk out their money by jamming them whenever possible. Bad situations and bad instructors. 6/21/2022 the manager reached out to my husband and refunded $2,347 to his account in respect of the charges that was paid for previous classes. Trevor was ver professional in the way he cares about any online review. Thanks to him my husband will resume his classes after the fourth.read less

The planes are in good condition and there are a variety of plane options too once you’re done with your PPL. Their building space offers a number of amenities as well. Their technology offerings are great. Easy to book planes and modify your reservation. Many documents are posted online for you to read ahead, calc out W&B, or just read about things you can do. Even right from the start their public website was very helpful in understanding everything that would be involved and how much it would cost. It was the main reason I knew I could afford training and what to expect when I first reached out! All this, and the prices are still excellent compared to other places. I’ve never had a negative experience and everyone has treated me well there. Working through even the most minor issues has been extremely pleasant, and even if I were to have a real issue, I am confident addressing it would be a breeze. I’m planning on starting my instrument rating shortly, and will definitely be doing it with InFlight.read less

He was patient with my nerves and offered up a good mix of technical and mechanical explanation of the aircraft while also providing a beautiful sightseeing experience - great job at striking that balance. One small note - for those that come in from a strictly flight simulator background (no real-world experience and a ton of bad habits), it would be helpful to take a minute or so to get acclimated to the rudder pedals and toe brakes, just to get a feel for the movement. When we were in the air and it was my controls, I was too twitchy with the turns that were being asked of me. This wasn't the fault of the airplane or my CFI at all, just a bit of an adjustment from the real thing compared to the sloppy gear I use at home, and may be worth verbalizing while still on the ground. Took about a half hour after landing to go from "well I'm glad I did that" to "I can't wait to do it again". Every facet of the facility seemed top notch. Would recommend to anybody.read less

Pros: -Started with a discovery flight and was supplied with all the instructions I needed to actually pursue a license. -I ended up flying with about 4 different instructors and all gave fantastic instruction and were always very open to questions. -Inflight staff was always super helpful with any question. -Both the staff and the instructors were very responsive to any calls or texts, keeping in mind that instructors may already be out flying. -The scheduling software was very intuitive and easy to use and provides plenty of resources to keep track of your training progress. -There are a few things available to get you started until you are able to purchase your own, such as headsets, IFR hoods, and iPads with Garmin installed. -Inflight's club membership is also great, you only need to fly 1 hour a month (with instructor, 2 hours without) to make of for the monthly cost. -Inflight has a couple goodies as you achieve a few training goals, I wont spoil this though, except to make sure you ask for your cookies at the end of each lesson! Cons: -Inflight is at Flying Cloud Airport, as well as multiple other flight schools, so certain times of day/year it can get busy at FCM which will eat up some of your time, however my instructors would often have us go to nearby airports to help with this, although they were often busy as well with others that have the same idea. -Inflight is a popular choice of flight schools, so it may be hard to schedule time with both a plane and an instructor (depending on the time of year and the instructor).read less

Their CFIs are very professional and knowledgeable to teach you everything you need in preparation for your checkride to get your license.Not only that but I was able to make friends and network as well with the different instructors at Inflight which I would treasure for lifetime!I would say that overall, Inflight school are the best flight school in twin cities which I would definitely recommend for everyone who is looking to fulfill their dreams of becoming a pilot whether for fun and hobby or as a career!I am looking forward for my next training with them for sure and already started selling the idea as well to my friends and relatives who wants to fly planes as well! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-----December 2021-----I started just taking the Discovery Flight at Inflight Pilot Training and true to their words, I got a full hour flying time and a 30 min ground lesson compared to other Flight Training provider where they just give you an hour for both Flight and Ground lesson.After the discovery flight I just can't help myself but to keep flying more so I enrolled in their program and currently trying to get my Private Pilot License soon.All I can say is the training is excellent as I was able to understand the basics from the ground up and the ambiance of the training school is very much welcoming.Lastly, aside from the very professional and knowledgeable instructors at inflight, I get to enjoy some treats after my flight training with Sweet Martha's cookies! 🙂read less

They prioritize their staff and students which speaks volumes to how well the company runs. The planes are well maintained. Training is organized yet customizable for the student. It's a great community to be apart of.I did have a slight hick-up at the beginning of my flight training and switched to a different instructor. Inflight made sure my experience and transition was smooth. Inflight has amazing instructors all around but like other comments suggest, be sure you find someone that teaches in a way you learn. Nothing wrong with finding a good fit for yourself. Shout out to Ambyr! She is AMAZING!I love flying out of FCM. It really makes you feel confident having exposure to a busy class D airport early on. It becomes normal for you. Practice areas and smaller airports are nearby though.EDIT 4/20/2021: Inflight has just launched a new instructor matching program! This is going to be a great new tool to help match students and instructors that will work best together how cool.Also, I just passed my private checkride and instrument rating checkride since I posted this review. Each ride I took with different DPEs and each were very impressed. Instruments in the airplanes are great for training. I choose to learn both the 430 and 650, but focused on the 650 at the end of my training for the checkride. I have to say this is thanks to the thorough prep from inflight. Their training is way above average!Edit 12/8/2021: I passed my commercial with Inflight on 11/2! I did another new DPE but was completely prepared for commercial. Again overprepared, which is what you want going into an exam right? I wanted to do this on a time crunch and I worked with many different CFIs. At this level in my training, this was actually a great learning experience. I got to see and learn different things from each of them. Infight's scheduling system allows that if you want. I was able to study with other students, inflight creates a great atmosphere for that so don't be afraid to make friends and study with other students or ask your CFI to help make those introductions.read less

What I love about them is I work a full time job so I need flexibility during my training and they have that! Their instructors work as a team to make sure that when one is not available someone is and knows where I am at in my training. I have been with 7 instructors due to my ever changing schedule and every single one I would trust to teach my own brother. Now that I'm taking a hiatus from training they still have the best rental prices around, so I guess I'll be with them another year!read less

I had been toying around with the idea of flight training, but really wasn't sure if it would be worth the investment.My first flight, I had the time of my life. My instructor was fun, snapped a few pictures of me, and gave me my first lesson behind the yolk. I came down giddy, and within a week was back signing on as a new student.I had looked at a couple other flight schools, but what really convinced me about Inflight was how upfront they were about costs and expectations, while really showing a sense of compassion for their students and passion for not just aviation - but creating new pilots.While many of the flight instructors have goals of airlines someday, at no point have I felt like I was just being used to build their hours. I have worked with multiple CFIs during my training, seeing how concepts can be explained differently, seeing different points of view for how to handle challenging situation. Having a big team of extremely capable CFIs, along with a large fleet of planes to train in, has meant that my training has had very minimal delays due to instructor availability or aircraft availability. There is always some option available if I want to get some training in!I have my private checkride scheduled next month, and intend to stick with Inflight as I work my way up to being a CFI. Their passion and desire to be the best is something that sticks with their students, and I intend to keep living up to the Inflight standard!UPDATE: I completed my commercial checkride with Inflight on November 9. I was thrilled with my training - I worked with CFIs that pushed me out of my comfort zone to get me more exact and proficient at every aspect of my new rating. I was very happy that I had not only a complex plane like the Arrow to get my complex endorsement, but also was able to complete my high performance in the SR20 and get G1000 time in their new 172S. I felt well rounded in my training, and am excited to complete my CFI next!read less

Special thanks to Matt and Drew as my primary CFI’s, they were both great. While I have not tested every flight school in Minnesota, I think you would have a hard time finding a better one in the state. I will definitely be back at Inflight for their flying club and for any future ratings or training needs!read less

Inflight is absolutely top-notch and I recommend them to everyone.The facility is clean, the pilot advisors are great, and scheduling is a breeze with the large fleet of extremely well-maintained planes. Whether you’re looking for a Cessna 152, 172 or a Cirrus SR22 Inflight has it, and their maintenance program is top notch.My main instructor Aaron was extremely knowledgeable, a great pilot and a fantastic instructor. Stephen was my secondary instructor, also a great teacher and skilled aviator. Got a chance to work with Oscar, Alena and Dan as well. All of them know their stuff and were wonderful. Not once did it seem like anyone was just there to “build time” - which can’t be said about many flight schools.Inflight is very up-front about the cost of aircraft rental and instruction. Their prices are very competitive. Scheduling is flexible and easy. I got to fly all the time (and still do) with no issues. In the rare case an aircraft needed maintenance there was almost always another one I could use for the day.I went into my checkride feeling extremely prepared, and a couple hours later left with my Private Pilot’s License. I am excited to do my instrument training with Inflight as well. My lessons were safe, extremely fun, and I learned a ton every single day.Inflight has set the bar EXTREMELY high for flight instruction. If you’re looking to take a discovery fight, get your Private Pilot’s License, or even get your commercial and beyond, you need look no further. Inflight does it all, and I promise you’ll have an amazing time!read less

Whether you are a complete beginner with some curiosity or a frequent flyer looking to go commercial, Inflight is there for you.When I first began my journey with inflight, it surprised me how easy signing up for the discovery flight and starting my lessons were. For me personally, their quick response time was very reassuring that I was doing the right thing.It also surprised me that each lesson had a mix of education and actual flying. I flew a plane in the first lesson! With the help of the instructor of course. I never thought it would be so simple and fun to get into flying.Recently, I completed the Private Pilot program, and I must say that it was well worth it; not only because I get to fly places now, but because of the great times I had with the instructors, even though they had to listen to my jokes while stuck in a plane with me for several hours at a time. . . . I'm sure they had fun trying to educate me through all that. ;)I will be continuing my time with Inflight into the Instrument Rating program with much excitement, and I am very happy with each lesson I receive from Inflight and the lifelong memories I will gain from them.read less
