I recently trained at Florida Flight Center and am very glad I did. Luis's vast knowledge on business jets and instruction are invaluable. I very much enjoyed in-aircraft training as it provides real world scenarios and gives you a very thorough understanding of the aircraft and its capabilities. Luis and his team care about their customers and really go out of their way to make the training experience an enjoyable one, and most importantly provide the tools and instruction to make us better and safer pilots. I will definitely be returning for my recurrent and initial trainings.
My copilot and I recently trained with FFC, this was the first time we trained in the actual aircraft, it is a 560XL. I was recurrent and my copilot Gary was a type rating. What a great experience! Luis Sr trained us. He is a pleasure to fly with and very knowledgeable of the aircraft. the check rides went smooth and I feel more trained now than any simulator training I have ever done. We will definitely be back next year.
The Florida Flight Training Center is a great place to get complete and professional training. I’ve known the owner Luis Savigne for over a decade and then met many members of his staff. They are all very professional and knowledgeable. I’ve used their services for training in Cheyenne II & III, King Air and Citation 500 series, CE560. They are always available for Q &A even after your training is complete. I’m know the chief pilot for a large corporation and continue to use their services for myself and our crew. The personalized approach is unmatched.
Florida Flight Center is a great place to train. I earned my commercial license and CE-500 and CE-525S type ratings a few years ago and I have been through multiple recurrent training sessions. As a physician with a busy surgical practice, I required a program with flexibility to fit my schedule and Luis was most accommodating each and every time. The ground school materials were excellent and the flight training, while intense, was manageable and taught me mastery of these aircraft. I would highly recommend this training center and when it's time for my annual 61.58 checkride next year, I will be returning to FFC once again to do my training.
I had the opportunity to work with Luis and Erik in developing an Avionics/Simulator training program for pilots. I was amazed at the amount of knowledge that both of them offered, being able to answer all of my questions regarding avionics, procedures, safety and other tips on many different aircraft. I also had the opportunity to shadow them as they trained dozens of students through many procedures on the aircraft. All of the students and pilots gave me very positive feedback and when following up, all passed their check rides. I highly recommend training here as the service is professional, pristine, effective and very reliable.
