What Students and Pilots Say

★★★★★ 5 years ago

I have rented aircraft and trained at many organizations across the US. Qualities that I look for in training includes highly qualified instructors that care about their students. I prefer not to go to training institutions that have instructors just looking to build time. I did my initial Cirrus TAA training in a late model SR20 and then later converted to an SR22.

I originally came to Dare To Dream to work on my instrument rating and their diamond D40 aircraft. My training program has been really intermittent due to my lifestyle issues. Dare To Dream has been great working with me to get stuff scheduled that works for me. Ultimately, I decided to purchase my own Cirrus aircraft and finish my instrument rating in my own plane. The entire organization has been super supportive …

I had a great experience with Dare to Dream. I am a retired military pilot with mostly helicopter time out of aviation for eight years. I started training with another school in a Cessna at North Perry - both the school and the airspace were chaotic (the instructor was excellent, though), and I didn't love flying high wing, so when I saw that new pilots were getting their private in the DA40 I sought a local school a…

I did my PPL at Dare to Dream and rent out from them whenever I fly. I had an amazing experience and continue to every time I go. Everyone is super friendly, professional, and the place is always clean and well-run. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into flying.

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Dare to Dream Aviation - Authorized Cirrus Training Center "Training for your Lifestyle" 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 Pompano Beach, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Florida Teaches You

Florida pairs sea-level performance with year-round flying, which is why more airline cadets train here than anywhere outside Arizona. The classroom is the afternoon sky: predictable convection builds most summer days, teaching students to read cumulus, plan around storms, and fly mornings. Coastal training corridors from Daytona through Vero Beach are dense with trainers, so collision avoidance and crisp radio work get baked in early.

How to Evaluate Dare to Dream Aviation - Authorized Cirrus Training Center "Training for your Lifestyle" 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 Pompano Beach means building your early hours in Florida weather and airspace, and both become part of your airmanship.
