What Students and Pilots Say
★★★★★ 8 months agoExceptional service from start to finish! I recently had to arrange a private flight for my executive — not for luxury, but out of necessity. The nearest commercial airport to his destination was 320–380 miles away, making a same-day trip impossible, or so I thought. DoubleDay Aviation stepped in and transformed what could have been a logistical nightmare into an effortless, perfectly coordinated experience. Laura …

★★★★★ 1 year agoI had a need for a quick, one day business trip that was further than I wanted to drive. DoubleDay Aviation made it possible and painless. My pilot Ezra was a true professional and even assisted with a rental car delivered plane-side when we arrived. Great plane. Great pilot. Great experience.

★★★★★ 1 year agoOur recent flight with DoubleDay Aviation was outstanding, and the highlight was our incredible pilot, Spencer. From the moment we boarded, it was clear we were in capable hands. Spencer greeted us warmly and took the time to brief us on the flight plan, weather, and expected arrival time. His professionalism and calm demeanor made us feel completely at ease.

Planning Your Training Here
Planning training at a local school like DoubleDay Aviation, Inc. 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 Greenville, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.
What Flying in South Carolina Teaches You
South Carolina flying pairs Lowcountry coastal weather, sea breeze fronts, summer buildups, hurricane-season planning, with a booming aviation economy: Boeing's Dreamliner plant in Charleston, busy tourism corridors at Myrtle Beach, and mild winters that barely pause the calendar.
How to Evaluate DoubleDay Aviation, Inc. 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 Greenville means building your early hours in South 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.
Common Questions About Training at DoubleDay Aviation, Inc.
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 DoubleDay Aviation, Inc.'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.
