What students
actually say.

Walked in a VFR pilot with a chip on my shoulder. Walked out instrument-rated seven days later. The DPE pipeline alone is worth the price of admission.

I had 245 hours and rusty maneuvers. Six days at CRAFT polished the chandelles, lazy 8s, and pylon work. Passed first try.

Bundled the CFI and CFI-I and walked out with both ratings in two weeks. CRAFT hired me right after. The math on time-building completely changed.

DA42-VI is the right airplane to learn twins on. Diesel, Jet-A, FADEC — it's basically practicing for a turboprop. Three days of training and the checkride was almost anticlimactic.

I trained at my own pace, two flights a week, and finished in just under five months. Same CFI from lesson one to checkride. Made all the difference.

I came in to "see if I'd like flying." An hour later I was signing up for PPL. Best $325 I ever spent.

Logged 20 hours in the Redbird. Each approach in the airplane felt like the fifth time I'd flown it — because it basically was.

CFI-I add-on in three days. Already had my CFI — just needed the I. Course pace was right where it should be: tight but not rushed.

Flight Circle made scheduling effortless. I'd book my own slots, see my balance, and chat with my CFI in one place. Worth it for the portal alone.
