Aviator Air

Are there any hangers available at KRBD? And if so estimated monthly cost? The instructors i plan to use are in GPM so thats the reason I prefer there. But if the price is right I can just fly the 10 min to gpm

Wanting to renew my thread about a possible partnership in the Dallas area. Preferably kept at KGPM or KGKY. Now that I have a private pilot cert. I want to get an ifr trainer and a family hauler. I have my mind set on a Mooney M20 F or J model. Looking at purchasing this time next year unless a...

I just took up my wife after getting my certificate this last Saturday. I had been preparing for that for a couple days I took her up in the morning around 830... It was a cool and calm morning no convection at all so I had that going for me. I took the time to explain the possibilities of the...

Sorry for the late post but I passed my checkride on the 16th. I'm officially a Private Pilot now. He was not as bad as I was thinking. I guess my instructor was over preparing me for him. He didn't really yell more of just a firm voice. He was thorough on the oral, I felt I was really prepared...

I know this thread is dead but I just wanted to give an update on this experience i had... i took me about 10hrs flight time to "get over it". The Emeterm help out a lot in the beginning it keeps me from throwing up but I was still feeling off sometimes during the beginning of training. Now I...

I chose to go ahead and use him due to availability and I figured that he couldn't be worse than some old football coaches I have had back in high school. My instructor gave me an option of him now or someone with a higher fee later.

I haven't been on here in a while but I did want to just give a quick update. I chose Aviator Air as my flight school of choice. I have now 59.7 hrs in a 172. My checkride is scheduled for 08/16 and I am a bit nervous my instructor keeps warning me the DPE I got tends to yell alot . Has anyone...

I have been doing some searching to see if anyone knows how much it would cost to have your plane washed, but I could not find anything on here about it. My BIG idea is to maybe reach out and wash someone's plane for a ride or just to make a little extra cash for flight training. I have...

Congrats Mike, I might need to hire you instead of going to a school. Good luck on the ATP

Thank you all, Aggiemike88 I might take you up on that meetup offer. I need to put a face to name that has answered most of my questions lol. Taking into account all the information that was shared. I have now a new plan that speeds things up a bit to try and reach my goal before the end of the...

Hello all, I am currently in the process of picking out a flight school in the DFW area. I have had an introductory flight with Aviator Air in Grand Prairie and really liked the family atmosphere, and being in the KGPM terminal it was cool to see a Nice Red Cirrus park in front. I have heard of...

AggieMike thank you so much for all the info. Now knowing that about Addison. Going to look around Arlington and Gp or McKinney. Sorry Denton is a little too far. I am down to go to a meet up or fly in to network and meet some new people tho.

Looking more into it. I think I might just be looking into buying it alone and doing a leaseback with a flight school/FBO. Looking into a C 150 as there is no market in my area for that type of small training aircraft. Anyone have any experience with Leasebacks. Main goal is to cut cost on...

Would 50k be more realistic? I can go that high just wanted to save some for the maintenance that I might have to do.
