Best Airplane Cary Near Me

4worldlovers: With the increased demand for pilots, efficiency is important like never before. But without a professional educator next to you, it means nothing.

Our mission at FlightGest Academy is to create an experience of a lifetime for our students by offering an exceptional team, a safe environment, and exemplary programs. Each student-pilot interaction will create training opportunities by immersing the students in a structured and fun learning environment while developing their skills to be safe and professional pilots.

Whether you are interested in starting up a new and challenging hobby or you are career oriented, FlightGest will help you get where you want to go in aviation. Top notch aircraft, great and rewarding learning environment, and most importantly, friendly, personable, and professional instructors who go above and beyond the call of duty. I have been flying with FlightGest since 2006, and along the way, I have made some great friends and memories. Thank you, FlightGest, for helping me achieve my dreams in earning my wings.

I randomly stopped by FlightGest during a road trip from Ohio to Florida in October, shortly after starting my PPL training in Ohio, and thankfully met Kirk for the first time! He gave me a tour of the flight school, TAC Air and showed me a handful of planes before throwing an abundance of information my way. Kirk's enthusiasm for a new student pilot who hadn't even committed to FlightGest proved that aviation is a passion for him. He made the most of my 30 minute stop, and I was sold on FlightGest. So much so that I packed all of my belongings to move down here from Ohio, strictly for FlightGest, after I passed my PPL checkride five months later.

After 10 years out of the cockpit, CURRENT AGAIN! Thank you Joe Lerro for taking the time to teach this old dog new tricks! We are never too old to learn new things from the young, bright people in our lives! Best of luck in the majors. Hopefully our paths will cross in the future.

Jonathan R. Huml was enrolled at Cardinal Gibbons High School when he was first interested in flying. Upon recommendation from his grandfather (an instrument-rated pilot), Raymond G. Wile, Jonathan took his first flying lesson at Williamsburg Airport, VA – and was hooked. He was so excited about flying, that we checked out local airports close to RTP to identify a suitable flying instructor. After checking out several airports (some with just grass landing strips), we were advised to check out FlightGest. I met Dr. Gozzo, owner and himself an accomplished pilot, to discuss our situation and quest for pilot’s wings. After working with several great flight instructors at FlightGest, Jon settled on primarily working with Owen Chase. Owen and Jon logged over 50 hours of flying time together (with Jon flying about 75-80 hours total) and multiple cross country flights to Asheville, Kitty Hawk and Williamsburg, VA (among others) before Jon’s muscular dystrophy progression made it impossible to continue his training. Flying gave Jon a different & better perspective on life. FlightGest even bought an electric cart to transport Jon to and from the planes. Owen and Frank gave Jon every opportunity to succeed – and for that, we will remain eternally grateful. I cannot say enough good things about the FlightGest staff or how well the operation is run. It is all first class.
