3 months agoI booked this thru Groupon for my husband as a surprise for fathers Day and little did I know Zhang told me I could go also. Lol Zhang was awesome she explained everything to us and really taught us what to do pre trip and all. She allowed my husband to get ground and flight training. While in the sky she continued to teach him but also gave him complete control of the plane guiding when needed. This was amazing and will be back again

4 months agoI think it’s an awesome place to learn. Well-maintained aircrafts. My instructor is Jay (Anthony). Nice demeanor, gives instructions nicely, clearly and easy to learn from. He’s knowledgeable and a kind of instructor for whom your progress is his goal. He seems to love what he does and is very happy to teach his students. He teaches with passion.

5 months agoMy experience with Yao H. was horrible, as his demeanor was rude, impatient, and disrespectful, resorting to yelling at others. It's disappointing to see California Airways employing someone who displays such behavior as an instructor. I would highly recommend steering clear of interactions with him. Conversely, the staff members were welcoming and readily assisted with my inquiries. Additionally, the office is well maintained and conveniently situated near the airplane parking lot, which is certainly advantageous.

10 months agoWent up with Keith with a buddy as a PPL visiting from Canada doing a bay tour and Keith and California Airways were fantastic hosts. The equipment was nice and even with just a short tour the ride was beautiful and the entire process was extremely smooth, from showing up to touching down - and the flight with Keith was both fun and informative. I can tell this is an excellent place to get your ratings done and to get instruction, and would highly recommend checking them out.

a year agoHad a good experience here with a well trained pilot. Walked me through everything I needed to know to fly the plane. I was able to gain the knowledge needed in order to feel confident in myself. I recommend any beginning pilots to try out California Airways. It’s is one of the least expensive routes to take with CFI’s that are well trained and put confidence in you.
