Testimonials
I grew up in a flying family, so when I decided to follow through on my dream of becoming a licensed pilot I was a very demanding customer. I wanted teachers who were committed to the art of teaching for the long term. I wanted airplanes that were impeccably maintained and that had advanced avionics and safety features. And I wanted a place that would customize its teaching approach to the strengths and needs of each student. In short, I wanted to work with an operation that was more concerned with being the best when it came to excellence, safety, and professionalism, and not simply the biggest. Having looked at virtually every flight school within 40 miles of Chicago, I found one flight school that I thought could meet my tough standards: Flight World. To my delighted surprise, the Flight World team was even better than I could have imagined, and the learning and flying experience has been a complete success. The Flight World formula is simple but successful: Great Teachers + Great Planes + Great Management = a Great Flight School. D.R.
