I finally did it! After a while, Covid and other circumstances, I passed my check ride and I am now a private pilot. I have nothing, but praise for this flight school. Tom Fischer is a great instructor and aviator with many years of experience. He has always made me feel safe. I have recommended Fischer Aviation to many of my patients. If you want a flight school that will build confidence and make you a better pilot than the rest, you can't go wrong with Fischer Aviation.

I am a private pilot student, and was introduced to Fischer Aviation through my husband who did his instrument rating with Tom. I fly with Tom, and I can say the whole operation at Fischer is excellent. It's by far the best flight school in the NY/NJ area. Tom and his team provide the most thorough combination of experience, knowledge, and safety. Beyond the instruction, I fly with confidence knowing that they take impeccable care of their fleet of aircraft. Fischer Aviation is competitively priced, and they do all they can to get you flying without a fleecing. For example, they offer an introductory discount package to get you started. They've done a fantastic job of creating a community of safe and capable pilots, and I'm proud that I'm on the road to becoming one with them.

THE BEST FLIGHT SCHOOL!!! After looking into and trying other schools in the area, I came to Fischer Aviation. I am much more satisfied here rather than the other flight schools at Caldwell Airport. The staff is a pleasure to deal with, and they are very easy to communicate with. Tom Fischer, as well as Bob, my instructor, are great teachers and are both very professional. Jodi Fischer is a sweet heart, and has been a big help in getting me all the materials I need for flight training. All in all, this is a great flight school, and is truly worthy of a five star rating. I recommend them to anyone in the area who wants to learn how to fly from the experts.

I have a lot of good things to say about Fischer Aviation. At the top of the list though, is that Tom and his team's top priority is you _actually_ becoming a good pilot. I've come to appreciate that "a good pilot is always learning" and "your private pilot's license is a license to learn" aren't trite phrases -- they are the foundation for safe, enjoyable, engaging aviation. I consider myself lucky to have found a flight school where you are not just taught how to fly, but taught how to learn as a pilot. In addition to instructional quality (again, your most important consideration for flight training) the planes are great, all the students and instructors I've met are friendly and supportive, scheduling lessons is a breeze, and -- if you are a NYC resident, like me -- it is a super-easy drive from the city. I checked out a few flight schools before committing to Fischer Aviation, and couldn't be happier with the choice!

Ever since my first day at Fischer Aviation when I picked up an information packet, I've felt like I was in the perfect learning environment. Tom and Jodi (the owners) have built an amazing atmosphere. The facilities are modern and immaculate. More importantly, you're treated like a member of their family. They take aircraft maintenance very seriously and have a choice of high wing and low wing training aircraft. The instructors all have different personalities and teaching styles which makes it easy to find one that best fits your learning style. It is actually encouraged for you to find an instructor that you mesh with best. A lot of the students (myself included) are busy professionals who pursue the dream of flying on the side and have constantly shifting schedules. The people at Fischer realize this and are very understanding of our reality. I highly recommend booking an introductory flight lesson so you can see for yourself why Fischer Aviation is a great place to learn how to fly.
