Crystal Air

Before starting my private pilot training I visited two other options in the area and it only took one visit to Crystal Air (my third stop) to realize how much Crystal Air stood out compared to the other options. Here are 5 reasons why Crystal Air got my business and it wasn’t even debatable: (1) Crystal Air has the newest, safest, and highest-tech fleet in the region for flight training. (2) Most of the Flight Instructors are career instructors instead of instructors there to get hours for their commercial certifications which means lower turnover and instructors committed to the success and safety of all Crystal Air customers. (3) Crystal Air has 3+ full time mechanics which means little to no downtime. One of the aircraft I was scheduled to fly last week had a tire going flat when I arrived. Their team changed the tire in exactly 30 minutes and I was able to fly instead of going home. (4) plenty of great airplanes to choose from ranging from 162s to 182s for any budget. (5) the team at Crystal Air treats you like family. You’re part of the family from day one and it makes you want to keep coming back! I couldn’t be happier with my investment and couldn’t be more confident in my training thanks to the safety and technology Crystal Air brings to students like me in Southeast Tennessee.

I visited all the flight schools in the Chattanooga area before deciding overwhelmingly to go with Crystal Air. The staff are knowledgeable, kind, helpful. The facilities are nice, clean, and updated. Fleet of planes are newer and well maintained. Excited to start the journey to become a pilot with Crystal Air!

I can't say enough good things about flying with the folks at Crystal Air. These guys go above and beyond to make sure that you are taken care of. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and extremely helpful and the aircraft here are very well maintained. I've seen a couple of other comments saying that they are expensive here... Sure, you might could find instruction and rentals cheaper somewhere else, but "cheaper" doesn't equal better, especially in this case. These airplanes are well maintained and the avionics are modern and up to date. When it comes to passing FAA Written exams and chekrides, these guys will work with you to get you prepared, whatever it takes.
