I began flight training at zero hours with Charleston Flight Services. Had heard the instructor was hard to deal with, but figured "man, I get along with everyone.. It'll be different for me". In the end I was fortunate to get my money refunded and move to a better school across town. Originally I did not write a review as I was happy to move on. In the course of several months I have heard from several that they had a similarly bad experience, one of them still trying to recover thousands of dollars in pre-paid flight hours. The instructor at is a very thorough, knowledgeable, skilled and safe pilot and teaches flight in an exciting and challenging way. Unfortunately there seems to be a personality clash which was not just for me, but for around a dozen pilots I've met who flew at this school. This is a warning to all to approach with caution or find another place if you have dreams of completing a PPL at one school. The lower prices are not worth the pain.
