Hero of the Miracle

Training at US Aviation Academy was a good experience overall. The program was organized and the instructors were professional. Some of the airplanes needed work, and scheduling could be slow at times. Still, training stayed on track once flights got moving. Andrew Mettler was my CFI for private. He was consistent, clear, and pushed me to finish. The school has room to improve, but the right instructor makes it worth it

I have been attending to US aviation for just over 2 months, and I am almost done with PPL. I have met incredible people, and have had great instructors like: Jameson Oldham, Nicholas Stacey, and Luke Velas. They have been great, Jameson has helped me a lot! He is a great guy, a great CFI, and he has incredible teaching skills. He has given me such good advice and I have learned, and improved a LOT thanks to him. Nicholas taught me how to fly and he was great! He had tips for everything and he always supported me when I needed help. I have had few flights with Luke, but the few times we have been in the plane he has helped me a lot because he gives me a new perspective of things, and has great patience.

I received my Private Pilot License, Instrument Rating, and my Multi-Engine at USAA! I was so impressed by the professionalism and passion for flying that was exhibited by every instructor I flew with. Sevie La Roche was my instructor from my first hour to instrument checkride. In my current pilot training course, I have been complimented repeatedly on how broad my experience is. Sevie did an incredible job exposing me to different fields, unusual approaches, and the most varied and rare instrument approaches he could find. His positivity and the faith he had in me as a new pilot truly were the only things that kept me going on some of my harder days. His love for teaching and all aspects of aviation shine through in everything he does. John Van Dixhorn was my multi-engine instructor. When I couldn’t get my mind wrapped around a specific concept, John literally spent hours not only trying to figure out how to teach me, but really focusing on how I learned. He possesses a rare talent which allows him to identify his students’ strengths and weaponize them against their weaknesses. In a time in my flying career that made me feel unintelligent and inadequate, John not only taught me the concepts I was struggling with, he helped me really fall in love with general aviation. Jaden Martin, Nolan Lanza, and Andrei all also worked incredibly hard to educate and enrich every student they interacted with. My time at US Aviation will always be a cherished blip on my career timeline.

I’m a current student at this school and I wanted to give a shout out to my instructor Andrew Mettler! He has been an excellent CFI and has been with me through every step of the way here. Any flight school you go to will have delays due to a number of reasons weather, maintenance etc. Welcome to aviation! But even through this he helped me get through in a timely manner! This is a good place to start your aviation journey!
