What Students and Pilots Say

★★★★★ 2 months ago

Very happy with Floris flight school. I'm about half way through my private pilot license journey and Collin and Floris have been excellent. My CFI Evan has to be about the best. Would choose same school and instructors if I had to do over. Very professional and attentive to details and needs.

Top Notch Experience with Tyson! I cannot say enough good things about my flight with Tyson. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, patient, and welcoming. He went above and beyond to make sure my experience was absolutely perfect. If you are looking for an exceptional pilot who is genuinely nice and makes you feel completely comfortable in the air, Tyson is the guy to go to. Highly recommended!

I completed part of my CFI training here, and it was a very well run flight school. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable, especially Tony and Evan. The manager, Collin, was also extremely helpful. The planes are exceptionally well maintained. If you’re looking for a flight school in Midland, this is the place to be!

Very knowledgeable and helpful instructors, Julian especially! The planes are all well maintained and scheduling is a breeze. Lessons are pricey, but all flight schools are expensive, I definitely feel like they bill fairly and I'm getting great value for my money. I highly recommend becoming a student at Floris' Flight School!

Planning Your Training Here

Planning training at a local school like Floris Flight Services 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 Midland, the three friction points that stretch part-time timelines.

What Flying in Texas Teaches You

Texas training operates at scale: enormous VFR practice areas, hundreds of airports, and the Dallas metro's layered airspace teaching Bravo-adjacent procedures from early lessons. Gulf moisture feeds spring storm systems that demand real weather respect, while long stretches of the year deliver back-to-back flyable days. Students finish with wind skills; Texas crosswinds are a rite of passage.

How to Evaluate Floris Flight Services 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 Midland means building your early hours in Texas 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 Floris Flight Services

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 Floris Flight Services'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 Midland, 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.
