Just finished up my private at JaxAero. I looked at a bunch of flight schools in Jax, I ended up deciding JaxAero for all they were able to offer in the way of quality training, facilities and aircraft while being at a reasonable price compared to similar schools. I have the pleasure of having Idris Algabyali as my flight instructor and he’s done an awesome job planning out and keeping track of my training and progress. They were also relatively flexible with my schedule. I work full time so being able to go to a school that offers a full curriculum for air and ground and being able to still work full time was a must. Definitely would recommend them for your flight instruction!

Great school! Planes are well maintained, and their instructors are top-notch. Their new facility is an impressive expansion that should further improve their operations. Idris has been a great instructor and did really well pushing me across the finish line for my PPL. I look forward to continuing to work with Idris as well as the rest of the JaxAero team!

Jax aero is definitely an amazing flight school, instructors are very nice and helpful. The staff works very hard to try and help you meet your goals. I can strongly say that all of the instructors are extremely professional and knowledgeable. My instructor (Idris) is a really smart, professional, and knowledgeable instructor that cares about his students and wants to see them succeed all the way. My secondary ground instructor (Dr. Rob Z) is absolutely amazing and extremely smart as well, both of these gentlemen work very hard and well with each other to try and provide professional instruction to me.

Jax Aero has a well maintained fleet with a selection of excellent instructors who will help you achieve your goals! Earned my PPL 9/5/23 and wrapping up instrument now on the pro pilot program. Ben and John are experienced leaders who understand aviation and pilot training. The CFII’s (Donny, Owen, and more) all have excellent knowledge and skill to keep you safe while growing in your aviation Journey. Can’t leave out our main man Bruce in maintenance keeping the blue side up. The airfield, KCRG, is a great location to train
because it’s just busy enough to keep you on your toes with challenging airspace around it but great controllers to manage everything. The airfield has numerous options to the N,W, and S to accomplish training missions which is extremely convenient and helps keep things fresh.

Took a close friend's dad for a discovery flight at JaxAero today! The sky decided to be extra beautiful and we had an amazing pilot, Rob! Rob was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and made everyone who hadn't gone up before feel so comfortable and excited to learn about aviation. It was incredible to hear about how JaxAero is expanding as a flight school and to see how competent and confident their pilots are. Anyone I come across who has an interest in aviation I will always point them in the direction of JaxAero!
Thanks again for a wonderful flight and to Rob for making this experience so magical.

I highly recommend JaxAero for flight training. My husband and I frequently fly our Mooney on short trips and I wanted to know how to land in the event he became incapacitated inflight. So I requested to train in JaxAero’s SIM and they paired me up with an excellent instructor, Owen Werner. Owen has been wonderful and is teaching me the basics of flight along with the skills I need to land in the event of an inflight emergency. I now have the confidence I didn’t have prior to this training and have the knowledge and skill to safely land the aircraft. I am in my 60’s and highly encourage other spouses to consider this type of training. Owen Werner is a highly gifted instructor. His focus is always on his student and ensuring that the student receives proper training. I greatly appreciate Owen’s expertise and his patience with me in the SIM. My husband and I thank Owen and JaxAero for this opportunity!

My fiancé gifted me a flight discovery lesson with Jaxaero. I had a great time on my flight. Got to fly the plan and learned a few things first lesson. I got bit with the private pilot bug and now I’m obsessed. These guys are great and I’m excited to continue training. Had two different instructors so far. Kasey and Caesar and both were excellent teachers and very knowledgeable and fun to fly with.
