What Students and Pilots Say

My 15 year old son was able to do a discovery flight with T&G. We had a wonderful experience. Rich was our instructor and he was very knowledgeable and patient. Great teacher to have! He gave great guidance and really did a great job teaching. Our flight was amazing, my son was able to fly the plane (with guidance) and we were able to experience a lot of different scenarios with altitude, turning, and just flying in …

My wife and I were in town for a wedding, and I wanted to surprise her by booking a flight with a local flight school. She and I are both pilots, but she hadn't flown in a couple years and was dying to get back up in the air. Rich was kind enough to accommodate us through several last-minute changes, made sure we knew where he was located, and was there to greet us when we arrived. He had already planned a great flig…

Did a Discovery Flight today (was a gift). Bazzie was an amazing pilot and walked you through step-by-step of what to expect and what to do. Allowed for control of the plane, very helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure we had a great experience - and we did! Highly recommend this experience!

I recently had a lesson with Rich Fishburn at T&G. Simply put, an excellent experience. Rich was thorough and thoughtful with his explanations and guidance. He clearly understands his subject matter intimately and his enthusiasm shows in a positive learning environment. His guidance was direct and understandable. I appreciate his focus on looking outside, with the instruments there to support what you see above t…

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like T&G Flying Club 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 Cleveland, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Ohio Teaches You

Ohio's aviation roots run to the Wright brothers, and its skies still work for a living: four-season weather, steady airline and cargo traffic, and approachable Class C airspace at Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Freight-minded students should note the state's cargo geography in particular.

How to Evaluate T&G Flying Club 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 Cleveland means building your early hours in Ohio 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 T&G Flying Club

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 T&G Flying Club'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 Cleveland, 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.
