My father got me a flight lesson for Christmas through Faithful. Where Groupon made it extremely difficult for me to book, Faithful was able to book me in under a minute. The amenities are nice (free snacks and coffee), and Devon, my instructor, was even better. He was super knowledgeable and we were able to have a full conversation about the mechanics and design that went into the aircraft. Devon truly made the expe…

Highly recommended, I swapped from a flight school to this flight school, and personally I like this better. It was working for me and my schedule as a flight attendant. The staff is friendly. They give you everything that you need to succeed, and I feel like I am welcome to here.

I looked at other instructors and schools before deciding to go with Lyndon's team at Faithful Guardian. I have zero flying experience but Lyndon was very thorough and flexible on developing a program and schedule to help me get on my path to my PPL. You can tell from the minute you get to Faithful Guardian that they have a love for flying and thoroughly love what they do. I felt the most comfortable dealing with the…

Where do I even begin? This school has gone downhill over the last 3 years! If I had to rank this school it would be the 2nd worst in metro Atlanta after the flight school of Gwinnett. Broken planes, constant rescheduling, it’s a chaotic mess! First time shoppers be aware! They will also try to overcharge you. I want to support black owned business but seriously get it together!

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Faithful Guardian Aviation Flight School 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 Atlanta, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Georgia Teaches You

Georgia students train in the shadow of the world's busiest airport, which shapes the state's airspace culture: professional radio work, flow awareness, and comfort around heavy traffic. South Georgia adds quiet practice areas and mild winters that keep training on schedule.

How to Evaluate Faithful Guardian Aviation Flight School 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 Atlanta means building your early hours in Georgia 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 Faithful Guardian Aviation Flight School

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 Faithful Guardian Aviation Flight School'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?

Call ahead and ask for a tour on a normal training day, not a quiet one. Use the directions button above to plan the drive to Atlanta, arrive early enough to watch ramp operations, and bring the vetting checklist from this page. A school proud of its operation will show you everything; hesitation is itself an answer.
