EXCELLENT FLIGHT SCHOOL AND AIRCRAFT RENTAL COMPANY! I have been going to this flight school for over 4 years now. It's a family owned business which only hires staff and instructors who meet their high safety and educational expectations. Larry and Corey have been my two main instructors in the past. They are knowledgeable, friendly and willing to work with you at your own pace. But I have heard great things about o…

I've been flying with T&G for close to 10 years. My experiences overall have been satisfactory, but not consistently stellar. T&G's biggest plus is their wide selection of aircraft - from "inexpensive" 2 seat trainers to high performance 6 seaters and twins. The downsides I feel worth mentioning are that T&G's office staff can take a long time to respond to (written) inquiries, reserved aircraft sometimes are mysteri…

Took lessons here for about 4 months, was a completely new pilot and put my trust into this company. After I had reached about 30 hours of what I thought to be good instruction, I had to take a break for a few months. I’ve since found a new instructor and I feel tricked by T&G. I have been robbed of my time and money, but unfortunately didn’t know this till I was $6,000 invested. Don’t make my same mistake. They run …

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 Richmond Heights, 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 Richmond Heights 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 Richmond Heights, 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.
