Magnificent Experience

Truman has been my flight instructor as of recent and he is extremely helpful and explains the material and lessons in depth. Having a very fun time learning this new skill! He is always helpful and really tries to help you understand the more basic concepts and then brings in the advanced content - so there is always a flow. I would highly recommend Truman as an instructor to anyone!

Great experience getting my PPL here! I really enjoyed flying with both Zach and Adrian as I grew in my piloting skills. All of the instructors were very fun to be around and it was fun to fly with them because they were patient and knowledgeable.

Hello! I recently went on a total immersion flight and let me tell you, this has got to be one of the best experiences i’ve ever had. Caley was our Flight Instructor and not only is she really down to earth, but she does such a wonderful job explaining what is going on to someone who’s never flown before. TJ is also a great person to have! TJ helped with the ground portion of the flight and explained how clouds and all kinds of factors go into having a nice and safe flight. I will definitely have to come back. Again, thank you Caley for such an amazing flight and Tj as well!

Max was an incredible instructor. He gave us a great ride with tremendous views.

From day one, the entire team made me feel welcome and supported. The school is extremely well organized, and you can tell they take safety and professionalism very seriously, while still making learning to fly a lot of fun. Tom McNeill is an outstanding instructor. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and has a great way of breaking down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps. Whether we were working on basic maneuvers, landings, or preparing for the checkride, he always took the time to answer my questions and made sure I felt confident before moving on. What I appreciated most is that Tom never made me feel rushed or intimidated. He genuinely cares about his students’ success and progress, and that comes through in every lesson. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve become a much more skilled and confident pilot than I ever thought possible. If you’re considering flight training, I highly recommend Chicago Executive Flight School. Ask for Tom—he’s one of the best instructors you could hope for.

Great instructors. Really enjoy my time learning to fly.

What can I say this place is awesome. They have a great staff and great setup. Adrain goes above and beyond his duties. Get you very comfortable and at ease in the plane. I would recommend this flight school to anyone trying to get a PPL

I am a current student, and Zach is my instructor. Zach does a great job of pushing his students to do the best, and is a very good teacher. he is awesome.

Do not believe them when they say your flight lesson will “NEVER” be cancelled due to weather. I’ve rescheduled 4 times now after driving an hour here because they refuse to call or communicate ahead of time. **Edit to respond: I’ve already done the ground training and it should be easily seen by your people when booking. There is zero reason why someone can’t call and tell me we can’t fly today vs waiting for me to drive an hour there. It’s inconsiderate of your customers time. Update: I Rescheduled and they called 2 hours before to inform me that we would fly. They listened to my feedback and I greatly appreciate that. I flew with Ryan and it was a blast, I then rescheduled another lesson with Ryan!

Absolutely amazing flight training experience. Expected to have 20% control of the flight - had the reigns a good 80% instead. Out of this world experience. Can't miss. Bucket list level

Zach is a good instructor. He's able to break down complicated issues like weather and systems and explain them in a way that helped me understand.

We had such a fun exploration flight with Caley! She is so knowledgeable and reassuring.

Jacob was our instructor for this experience and he was so calm and patient with us. Helped us understand every small detail of a plane and we flew over the downtown and northern end. Great experience and views. Watch out for the weather when you book!

I am currently getting my private pilots license right before I start college. I recently did my first solo flight and I couldn’t have done it without my instructor Tom. Tom has been patient and always focused on helping me become a safe pilot. He always pushes me to do my best. If you’re serious about flying and want an instructor who’s going to give you both skills and mindset to be a great pilot I recommend Tom.

This fight school is terrific with great instructors who have incredible attention to detail and safety always being the top priority. Jakob, in particular, is awesome. He’s a very experienced pilot and Instructor. While a primary instructor is who you fly with most of the time, I have flown with multiple other instructors who are all wonderful, patient, and consistent in their teaching. Highly recommend!⚡️⚡️⚡️

Ryan Horvath is the best instructor out there. He got me through my first milestone in aviation where others would have just been careless in bringing up the right training. He was always there to get me to that finish line and now being 2 years out I still talk with him. Truly one of a kind instructor you won’t find easily! Ever grateful, ever true… Thanks Ryan!

I recently took my discovery flight with the Chief Pilot, Jim Kwasek, and it was such a phenomenal experience. For my first time it was a pretty windy day and I was frightened by the turbulence from the small aircraft but Jim made it look like nothing but another day, kept calm and was very patient with me. He taught me everything I needed to know before, during, and after the flight. He also took really creative and memorable pictures of me (he’s an amazing photographer), couldn’t thank him and the team enough for making my experience amazing, I recommend them for the first timers, very fun and friendly people!

My son took his first flight lesson here and absolutley loved it! He couldn't stop singing his instructor Logan's praises. He said everyone was friendly and professional and he will be coming back for more lessons very soon.

I'm using this flight school for PPL and it works with my busy schedule. They have good plane availability, and a variety of instructors to fit your learning style. You do need to be self aware of your shortcomings tho, so you can request more practice on the things you're not comfortable (or skilled) yet. Highly recommend to bring an SD of 32GB or more because they'll be recording your flight so you can do self reflection and find weak areas to practice on.
