The 10 Best Flight Schools near Pacifica, California

Here is a review from an user.

John Simpson is a super guy! Very talented and knowledgeable. He will be sure you have a safe and super fun experience! Don't hesitate to give him a call. Hang Gliding at Fort Funston is one of the best experiences you will ever have!

It was a really fun and amazing experience! The view was fantastic and the flying was smooth. Definitely will go again! Thank you Mike for such a fun experience. The other pilots were also friendly and amazing too.

Great course! Instructors were very professional, knowledgeable, and made the material easier to understand. The flight labs were a lot of fun! I would highly recommend this course by DroneAviate to anyone seeking to get their commercial drone pilot license.

Mark was incredible and his stunts was crazy like literate crazy and it was sooo fun!! Definitely must try again some day. His explanation and instructions was on point. We did a pretty bad take off because but other than that everything was WORTH IT ! It was a birthday gift to me and it was the best birthday gift ever!! Thanks again Mark. Keep up the legit work!

I flew with Sarah with my dad for a three day mountain flying course. Unsure what to expect, I went in with an open mind and blown away. Never having flown in the mountains, it was an eye opener to realize the respect the mountains need, as well as how beautiful the area is. Sarah was very helpful to correct my bad habits that I've picked up over the last few years, as well as learn new techniques for flying over ridges, close to terrain, and emergency procedures over mountains. Each day was filled with ground training, then a flight to practice what we reviewed. I am very grateful for the experience as I start to dip my feet in mountain flying. Thanks Sarah!

Awesome training with a world class instructor. Chris was excellent and I look forward to coming back to fly very soon!

My experience at JB Aero was excellent from day 1. I have nothing but positive feedback for this school and all of the hardworking instructors who made my experience here great. I contacted Jim, the owner, in January to let him know I was interested in doing some accelerated flight training in which I would take 6 weeks off work, travel to Fresno, and dedicate myself to flight training. Jim let me know it was atypical but that they would be able to work with me and had plenty of instructors and planes to ensure I would not be frustrated. I arrived in early March and began my flight training. The school had tons of awesome instructors (Marty, Drew, David, Lorenzo, Emilio, Brian, etc) and I flew with most of them. New instructors were always happy to hop in with me if my primary instructor was unavailable for any reason. The school has plenty of airplanes such that scheduling, even multiple flights per day, was never an issue. I usually scheduled my flights one day in advance or even the day of and I never had to worry about being able to get the training I wanted. Jim was attentive throughout my training to make sure I stayed on track and received the instruction I needed. Jim, the owner, has + years of flight instruction experience and the curriculum he has developed is phenomenal. Jim flew with me my first few flights and I also enjoyed reading the curriculum he developed and watching the videos he created as a means of enhancing my understanding of several key topics. This school is based in class C airspace and requires new students to become familiar and comfortable with communicating with ATC early in their flying careers which, while stressful at first, is something I'm now grateful I feel comfortable with. I completed + hours of studying before I arrived and, by being just a bit familiar, I was able to successfully complete my Private Pilot Certificate in just under hours of flight time and less than 6 total weeks by flying nearly every day. The rates are very reasonable and the quality of instruction is high. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for flight instruction and I look forward to returning to the school for instrument and commercial training. My brother and dad are both + year commercial pilots and both were impressed with the quality instruction I received at this school. I plan to return to JB Aero to work toward my instrument and commercial ratings. I have no connections to the school other than as a proud former student!

Great. Everyone should do it.

Perfect place to go if you like gliders and food!

Mohammed is a great instructor you can trust and rely on.
