I have rented aircraft and trained at many organizations across the US. Qualities that I look for in training includes highly qualified instructors that care about their students. I prefer not to go to training institutions that have instructors just looking to build time. I did my initial Cirrus TAA training in a late model SR20 and then later converted to an SR22. Both at Dare To Dream. Through out my training I found my syllabus well organized and executed. I very much enjoyed both the ground school and flight lessons. My dedicated instructor was an excellent communicator and had me execute training maneuvers that no other instructor had imparted to me in over 40 years of flying and built my confidence in the Cirrus brand. I received additional support from other staff and questions could be asked even when you were not officially training. The venue is modern, comfortable and has a technically advanced simulator ideal for many aircraft. The emphasis was on safety and knowledge. As a renter, the experience has always been easy and professional. Safety, high quality personnel, equipment and aircraft along with a caring attitude equals 5 out of 5.

I had a great experience with Dare to Dream. I am a retired military pilot with mostly helicopter time out of aviation for eight years. I started training with another school in a Cessna at North Perry - both the school and the airspace were chaotic (the instructor was excellent, though), and I didn't love flying high wing, so when I saw that new pilots were getting their private in the DA40 I sought a local school and found Dare to Dream. I did a couple of 'intro' flights during Covid, then finally committed to a Flight Review in December 2021. All of the pilots I flew with were responsive, professional, and the aircraft are well-maintained. I also like that they're equipped with the G1000 after having some high-speed avionics in the aircraft I flew professionally. For my Flight Review I was paired with an excellent instructor, Andrew Osarczuk, who worked with me to tailor my training according to what I needed to be comfortable with the aircraft and refresh my fixed wing skills. He made very efficient use of our flight and instruction time and had me up to speed in five flights, which was what I felt I needed to cover everything I wanted to feel confident. The aircraft rental and instructor time are significantly more expensive than the school where I started, but it was worth it to me to be in what I felt was a safer and more controlled environment in an aircraft that I enjoy flying. The owner, Chris, is experienced, helpful, and positive and is running a good shop, reflected by the professional and service-oriented staff. Highly recommend.

The team at Dare to Dream were extremely professional and patient with training. The instructors care about your success as a pilot and want to make sure that you're safe and that you understand the fundamentals of aviation. Chris, Devan, Declan, and the rest of the team were very encouraging when times got frustrating during training. Their knowledge of aviation gave me a comfort level that I could be successful as a private pilot. Now on to my instrument rating.

Just completed my IR at Dare to Dream. An incredible group of professionals. CFII Alejandro Victorero is an incredibly knowledgable and dedicated instructor who takes your training personally. He spared no effort to get me not just check ride ready, but well beyond. Chris, the owner, is a super guy and pulls out all the stops to make sure his instructors and clients have what they need to be successful. Great group, recommend without hesitation.

True professionals from the chief pilot down to the instructors. The warm and proficient training environment even resonates through to the well maintained airplanes. Diamond and Cirrus are carefully stored and ready for your flight. They helped me out when I needed to rent in a crunch. They really know their stuff and helped me have a greater understanding and appreciation as well. Not 5, but a 10 🌟 experience
