Highly recommend Mach5Aviation. The team there helped me check off my highest bucket list item – Private pilot. Thanks to Mach5 and the Team I was well prepared for my final examination.
The operation is top notch from the office/operations management, aircraft maintenance, flight logistics and coordination, and instruction.
I was fortunate to get paired with David Wells who did a perfect job of helping me reach my full potential. I just had fun flying at Mach 5, David, and will continue to fly with Mach5 in the future.
Auburn Airport location provides good vibes, valuable flight experience as it is located in the base of the foothills with access to the Sacramento valley, and up front views/access to various aircraft.
The mechanics are amazing and provide great exposure to maintenance and repair being an open shop right next to the office. This helped with my understanding of the aircraft and its systems. The planes are very well maintained and it is very clear where each plane sits with regards to maintenance and repair.
Mach 5 has the highest standards for instruction. There are numerous layers and checks within the process. For example, I was required to complete thorough flight reviews and marks after each flight which are recorded in my file and reviewed by chief instructors. At various points in the training I flew with a chief check instructor for sign off to the next stage. This greatly increased my confidence moving forward through various phases of training.
Thank you to Mach 5 and David Wells my CFI for helping me be a confident and safe pilot as I move forward in my training.
Special shout out to Matt Behnam as well! Thanks Matt for all the help.
Thank you to the team at Mach 5!
