California Flight Academy

I am not really into writing reviews unless it’s the best or the worst … I did my whole training in the academy. It was by far an amazing experience. I loved the whole student journey in the academy… good instructors, very very good maintenance and very good management .
Front desk is awesome, Yvette really takes care of you like family, everyone is so friendly. I strongly recommend this academy to pursue your goals … You will not get disappointed.

No review offered on the quality of flight instruction offered at CFA. I never got that far because my initial customer service experience was so poor.
I contacted California Flight Academy in search of training for a CFMEI SEL/​Sea add on to my CFII Rotorcraft, Gyroplane (interpretation: I’m a 4,500±hour ATP, CFII and experienced flight training consumer).
After explaining my goals to the receptionist, I was transferred to a flight instructor. After explaining my goals a second time, that flight instructor indicated he could not answer my questions and attempted to transfer me to a third employee. After a lengthy hold, I was told the third person was unavailable. My contact information was taken and I was told I would receive a call back. Three days later no one has called.
CFA may have the best instructors in the world but if their customer service makes it appear like they have too many students to care about new ones — well, there are plenty of other flight schools out there which would like my disposable income.

This is where I learned to fly!
California Flight Academy (CFA) is a great school!
They have some of the best instructors out there!
CFA also has a nice fleet made up of Cessnas and Pipers.
If you want to learn to fly, this is the place to go!
