Success Stories
Read review notes from our student aviators who reached their pilot goals.
“I had my Discovery Flight today with Chris and it was absolutely amazing! Immediately entering the TAA facility, it felt like visiting family.”
Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The planes and headset equipment were top notch. The training was high level and within minutes I was flying. The views were priceless during the discovery flight. To top that off, TAA is heavily involved in the community. If you are looking for a great Flight school then look no further.
I had a great experience at TAA. They prepared me for my private, instrument, and commercial check rides!
Wow, just wow! I was a bit hesitant about going to TAA because of the mixed reviews about Flight Attendant schools that are going around out there but after attending TAA, I DO NOT regret it all!!!
Every flight school will have planes, pilots, and fancy headsets, but TAA's staff makes a serious difference. Our pilot was an incredibly nice, educated, personable man named Dalton (ask for him if you can!)
I loved it here at Triad Aviation Academy. Kim and Camille are so nice they really care about you getting a job to becoming a flight attendant. We had to airlines that interviewed us. We did not have to compete with 200K other applicants we were given access to recruiters.
