What Students and Pilots Say

★★★★★ 1 month ago

I did every hour of my flight training here from discovery to commercial and CFI. I had great instructors the whole way, and I was able to achieve my goals within the time frame and hours I had set for myself. The planes are all in good condition- those who say they aren’t are the same people who think a brand new Ram is better than an old Toyota. They’re old, but the maintenance is top notch, and they are continuous…

I loved this place! I literally flew the plane. Great service and the pilot who took us up, Navy, was the coolest and nicest guy who has a genuine passion for flight and knows so much about it. Fascinating time, would absolutely recommend this to anybody. Five stars!

Please, safe your money, nerves and time, this school is not worth it. I had changed from a good flight school with a long commute at a very busy C airspace, with limited booking space and flight restrictions to Executive Flyers, hoping, I would get more air time than hops hours, contrary to what I had experienced previously. Well, little did I know that I ended up with a total rip off and student night mare. The ins…

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Executive Flyers, Inc. trades the academy's speed for flexibility and often meaningfully lower total cost. The pay-as-you-fly model keeps your money in your control, and training two to three lessons weekly around work is the proven rhythm, enough frequency to retain skills without the academy's all-in schedule. The variable to manage is momentum: local-school students who succeed book standing lesson slots, fly year-round, and treat ground study as homework rather than something that happens at the airport. Ask about aircraft scheduling depth, instructor availability on your target days, and examiner wait times in Sacramento, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in California Teaches You

California training compresses experience: the Los Angeles basin's stacked Class B, coastal marine layers, mountain passes, and desert density altitude all sit within an hour of each other. Students who learn here learn to talk fast, plan thoroughly, and fly precisely, and the weather cooperates most of the year.

How to Evaluate Executive Flyers, Inc. on Your Tour

Every school on this directory gets the same advice from us, because the fundamentals don't move. Walk the ramp and count how many aircraft are down for maintenance. Ask how many lessons a week they can actually schedule you, and how far out the booking calendar runs. Ask for first-attempt checkride pass rates and how long students wait for an examiner. And keep your money in your control: pay as you fly, or in small blocks with clear refund terms.

Then weigh the location itself. Training in Sacramento means building your early hours in California weather and airspace, and both become part of your airmanship. Our school-selection guide covers the full vetting checklist, and the financing page maps scholarships and loans that apply at schools like this one.

Common Questions About Training at Executive Flyers, Inc.

How long would my training take here?

Part-time students flying two to three lessons weekly typically earn a private certificate in six to twelve months and a commercial certificate in two to three years, with pace set by your calendar and the weather. Consistency decides everything: standing lesson slots beat sporadic bursts by months.

What will it cost, and can I get help paying?

Get Executive Flyers, Inc.'s current rates directly; published numbers age fast in this industry. Nationally, plan on $80,000 to $120,000 from zero time to commercial certificates before instructing pay starts offsetting costs. Our financing guide maps the loans, scholarships, and airline cadet programs that apply here, and several scholarship cycles go undersubscribed every single year.

How should I arrange a visit?

A school proud of its operation will show you everything; hesitation is itself an answer.
