I came in with 20 hours to finish my private, and I was treated very well. Everyone was super friendly, and my instructor, Kyle, was positive and a great instructor.

I was looking for a school to finish my PPL with and have previously trained on the DA-20. CBA has two Diamonds that are well maintained and has easy access to fuel. I trained with Kyle Kruger, and I highly recommend him to anyone learning to fly. He’s knowledgeable, understanding and eager to pass his knowledge onto student pilots. Great school and great instructors. The rates were decent, too.

Happy to switch over to their C172 to start...

What I know now is that they have good planes to rent and also a new CFII I met when he checked me out on the Diamond 20. Fun landing strip (I did need some coaching on this one but got it after 1 landing), very smart and fun in...
