Testimonials
If you are looking for a top-tier flight school, Piston2Jet is your answer! From day one, this school has exceeded my expectations in every way. The training curriculum is thorough and professional, but what really sets them apart is the culture.
“Smash” and the rest of the instructor cadre here are incredibly friendly, approachable, and genuinely invested in their students' success. It’s a supportive environment that makes learning to fly a joy rather than a stress. Additionally, their fleet of trainer aircraft is impeccably maintained; I always felt safe and confident in the cockpit knowing the planes were kept to the highest standards. If you’re looking for a flight school that combines high-quality instruction with a welcoming community, this is it!

I earned my PPL with P2J, and my CFI was Travis. From day one until the moment I received my license, they provided the guidance and support I needed. Smash and Travis were always straightforward and honest, making sure I had realistic expectations regarding both the timeline and the cost of training.
They have an amazing team of CFIs. Whenever I saw them around the building, I always had great conversations with them. They are all down-to-earth, hardworking professionals who genuinely care about their students.
As for the aircraft, I completed my training in the DA20 and enjoyed every minute of it. They have multiple Diamond aircraft available, so scheduling lessons was never an issue for me.
I highly recommend this flight school, and I look forward to continuing my flight training with them in the future.

I completed the Part 141 Test Pilot program. The course was challenging but very accessible. While there was obviously a lot of physics, you don't really need to know more than basic algebra. You will want to have above average stick and rudder skills, but I think that goes without saying. Doug (the instructor) has an impressive amount of real world experience and he does a wonderful job of converting it into practical insights. If you're going to test fly piston powered aircraft (including EAB aircraft), you'd be wise to take this course!!!
