I wouldn't be an airline pilot without this flight school. I did my private, instrument, and commercial with Pilot Rise. I wish I would've found them sooner. Could've saved me a lot of headaches, money, and restarts.

I've had a really great experience at this flight school. Everyone is friendly, professional, and always willing to help. Huge shoutout to Anthony Balaity, he's an awesome instructor who's patient, explains everything clearly, and makes learning to teach and fly feel a lot less intimidating.

All of the instructors make sure you as a student are learning and retaining the knowledge necessary to safely fly a plane and by doing so, you are well prepared to complete your FAA check ride.
