California Aeronautical University (CAU) – San Diego

Don't do flight training at Montgomery Gibbs! From what I’ve seen, there’s far too much traffic in the sky, training seems poorly managed, and some flight practices feel questionable. In my opinion, there are safer, better options nearby. If you want quality flight training, El Cajon Airport is the better choice. Do yourself a favor and go there instead.

Great school, staff is extremely helpful and want you to succeed. The flight instructors care and are there for you however the student must do his/her part to progress. That being said there are tutors there to help you in your studying and answer all the questions you may have. Kevin Lake is phenomenal, he worked with me and cared about my situation all the way through. I've never had a smoother experience and he is on top of everything. The finance department is outstanding and will break everything down for you giving precise estimates of what you'll be paying for the program you're going for. They are great to work with and always quick to answer any questions or concerns. I completed 1 term and about 7 weeks of the second term before I got an eye infection/on going medical symptoms which forced me to withdraw. If you're Veteran or looking to finance your way through, this is in my opinion the best school in California to work with. I'm moving out of state and will be attending another flight school that is part 141. The knowledge and experience I've had with CAU has been amazing and set the bar high. Thank you!
