Hi everyone! I’m currently looking into moving to the Miami area to start my journey as a professional pilot. I’ve been researching various aviation flight schools in Florida, and Pelican Flight Training in Hollywood really stood out to me. They’ve been operating for 40 years, which is a huge milestone in this industry.
What caught my eye is that they offer both airplane and helicopter programs, which is perfect if you want a versatile career. They are currently running a special anniversary offer where you can save over $15,000 on their professional program—dropping the price to $68,310 from the usual $83k. Since I’m coming from abroad, I also noticed they are very experienced with M1/F1 visas and TSA authorizations.
Has anyone here trained with them recently? I’m looking for a place where I can build my hours quickly due to the great Florida weather. I'd love to hear some firsthand feedback on their instructors and the general vibe at the North Perry Airport location!
