Since 2024, I have been enrolled in flight training at Century Air, and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. Century Air operates as a highly efficient flight training center that prioritizes its students above all else. My instructor, Raj, has consistently exceeded expectations throughout my training. Despite my hectic schedule, he has frequently come in on his days off to conduct ground lessons or flights, ensuring I remain on track. Raj has always addressed my inquiries with assurance, and his expertise and professionalism have significantly enhanced my skills as a pilot. In addition to being an exceptional instructor, he is a remarkably personable and sincere individual who makes the learning process enjoyable. His dedication to Century Air is evident, as he often goes out of his way to assist other students, support fellow instructors, and contribute to the training center's needs. His commitment to both his students and the success of Century Air is truly remarkable. The staff at Century Air is exceptional. Shannon and Dan at the front desk are consistently friendly, professional, and welcoming. They recognize me by name upon my arrival and always ensure that operations run smoothly. Lead Dispatcher Stephanie has also been outstanding, helping me arrange solo flights despite the busy schedule at Century and accommodating my request to take my written exam on one of the busiest days. Every time I walk into Century she has a giant smile on her face, remembers my name is always asking what she can do to assist me. I have often seen her going above and beyond to mentor and teach the other dispatchers making sure everything is up to the high Century Air Standards. Anytime I needed something she was always there willing to help! Jonah and Mario deserve a great deal of recognition for the hard work they put in every day as part of the ground support team. They are constantly on the move, helping push back aircraft, checking oil, cleaning windshields and windows, and making sure the fleet is ready for students and instructors. Beyond their technical responsibilities, they are extremely personable and always take the time to talk with students during preflight, making everyone feel welcomed at Century Air. Whether they’re assisting on the ramp, helping inside the facility, or even cleaning classroom floors to keep the training center looking its best, Jonah and Mario are always working behind the scenes to keep operations running smoothly. Their dedication, positive attitudes, and extremely strong work ethic do not go unnoticed and are a big part of what makes Century Air such a great place to train. Assistant Chief Instructor Susy has proven to be an invaluable resource throughout my training. She possesses extensive knowledge and is always prepared to assist whenever challenges arise. It is evident that she is not only an excellent instructor but also a remarkable mentor to her colleagues. She exemplifies leadership, willingly shares her expertise, and plays a crucial role in upholding the high standards of instruction for which Century Air is renowned. Richard and Christine Greene have established an outstanding flight training and simulator center. The environment is immaculate, well-organized, and operates with a high level of professionalism—I have never encountered a disorganized classroom. What I value the most is their active engagement with the students. They consistently take the time to converse with us, and when I faced difficulties in scheduling my checkride before my ground exam expired, they personally intervened to ensure everything was resolved. Their aircraft are very clean, well maintained and fly exceptionally! Century Air resembles a professional aviation college more than a facility for learning to fly. I am immensely grateful for the knowledge, support, and experiences they have offered throughout my training. I wholeheartedly recommend Century Air to anyone seeking high-quality flight training.

There truly aren’t enough good things I can say about Century Air. I completed my Private, Instrument, and Commercial training with Century, and even after training at other flight schools in between, nothing compares to them. My instructor Dennis, was amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, very informative, and an excellent CFI who genuinely cared about my progress. His ability to break down complex concepts and build confidence in the cockpit made a huge difference in my development as a pilot. As for Richard and Christine, I cannot express how thankful I am to have found their flight school. It is top-notch. They ensure every student receives the highest quality instruction possible and consistently go above and beyond to support their pilots throughout their training.The environment they’ve created is professional, welcoming, and truly focused on student success. Their standards, integrity, and passion for aviation set them apart from any other school I’ve experienced. They are amazing people who make a meaningful impact on the aviation industry through their dedication to running such a premier flight training facility for so many years. I would recommend Century Air to anyone. Truly an amazing experience training with them.

I recently completed my Private Pilot training and graduated from Century Air, and I’m extremely grateful for the experience I had here. From day one, the entire team was welcoming, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me become a safe and confident pilot. What really stands out about Century Air is that the instructors and staff truly care about their students and want to see them succeed. A huge thank you to Luke Kurian for being an outstanding instructor throughout my training. Luke is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and very effective at teaching how to fly. He always took the time to explain things thoroughly, made complex concepts easier to understand, and helped build my confidence every step of the way. His calm and professional teaching style made a big impact on my growth as a pilot. I also want to sincerely thank Christine, Stephanie and rest of the team for always helping accommodate my busy and always changing schedule. Flight training is not easy to balance with work and a busy day-to-day schedule, but they consistently went above and beyond to make things work and keep me progressing toward my goals. Their support, flexibility, and communication made the entire process smooth and made possible my dream of aviation. Another thank you to Captain Richard Greene for the valuable lessons and safety mindset he shares with his students. Safety is clearly a major priority at Century Air, and the guidance and experience he brings to students is something that really sets this school apart. Century Air also offers a very well-structured Part 141 program that keeps training organized and efficient. The facilities are top notch, the aircraft are very well maintained, and the rental process is excellent as well. Overall, I highly recommend Century Air to anyone looking for quality flight training. The instructors, staff, facilities, and overall environment make it a great place to learn and grow as a pilot.

It is challenging to find the right words to fully encapsulate and express the incredible training environment that Century has created. All of the instructors, staff, and of course, Christine and Richard, provide the most positive and successful learning/training environment that I’ve gotten the chance to be a part of. During my time at century I earned my instrument rating, commercial single engine certificate, CFI, CFII, and commercial multi engine land rating. This is a school where you feel valued, and your learning style and training are important to your instructor. It’s not some cash grab or just about building hours like so many other places. Everyone who works at century truly cares about your journey in aviation. And it’s such a positive environment; everyone says hi to one another, if people see you taking a test, everyone wishes you good luck, it really feels like a community. This is something that I believe is undervalued in flight training. Because being in flight school can be a very isolating experience, it’s not like college classes where you are in the same class with a bunch of friends and can all study together. Usually at a flight school, you have your one on one lessons, but once they’re over, it’s on you to go home and study and learn the material on your own. While that is necessary and a very important skill, at century you also have the opportunity to find other people to study with and learn from. Susy was my primary instructor for my CFI training, and she had a huge impact on my aviation journey. She made me feel far more confident as a pilot than I had at any point in the past and that is something I’m very grateful for. To make a quick note about the quality of aircraft, I have never seen a school more committed to thorough and proper maintenance of their planes. I have had experience at other well regarded flight schools, but I have to say that they don’t come close to the overall experience, training environment, and standards at Century. I have recommended and sent friends to century before, and I could not be more confident in saying that if someone chooses to start or continue their aviation journey here, they will be very happy with their decision.
