What Students and Pilots Say
★★★★★ 3 years agoTop notch experience! I was greeted at the door by a friendly receptionist who quickly introduced me to the flight instructor, Andrew. Andrew reviewed current weather conditions with me and detailed what to expect during the flight. His attention to safety was on point and appreciated. We headed to the ILM airfield, where Andrew carefully inspected the aircraft and prepped for takeoff. Once in the air, I was able t…

★★★★★ 1 year agoMy 10-year-old son and I recently took a discovery flight with Vincent Ortiz and had a fun, memorable experience. Vincent kept us informed before the flight about the weather, which had been dicey. Luckily, we got clear skies in the morning and were able to fly. We took up an older Piper Arrow that ran smoothly. Vincent mixed in sightseeing along the coast from Topsail to Baldhead with some flight instruction for my …

★☆☆☆☆ 3 years agoHighly do not recommend this school. I normally do not write reviews but seeing that I myself is a business owner and I would want the truth were maybe I could fix the issues to give the students/ customers better service. I had scheduled 4 Flights with this school with a certain instructor which I will not shed his name. Our flights were post to start at 7 am and never did we begin at that time. One time we started…

★☆☆☆☆ 1 year agoPlace needs to be closed permanently. Was training here for about 6 months, on one of my Certs, and randomly when I’m about to get my check ride date, they decide to get rid of the ONE and only plane available to me to fly. This place is a joke of a flight school, planes are kept in terrible maintenance, and they’ll do nothing but run you around and waste your money and time.

Planning Your Training Here
Planning training at a local school like All American Aviation Services, Llc 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 Wilmington, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.
What Flying in North Carolina Teaches You
North Carolina flying runs from Outer Banks wind, where powered flight began, to Appalachian ridge weather in the west, with a growing airline economy centered on Charlotte in between. The state's mix of coastal, piedmont, and mountain flying builds versatile pilots.
How to Evaluate All American Aviation Services, Llc 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 Wilmington means building your early hours in North Carolina 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.
