The entire experience with Temple Pilots was safety oriented, well structured and designed, and expertly managed.
The most important things:
1. The entire team was completely firm and uncompromising with all matters related to safety and training. Even if it’s your last day, if you’re not ready to fly solo safely, you will not be allowed. No negotiations.
2. The course was well structured. We built up our skills slowly in a progression that made sense. Each instructor was not just knowledgeable, but also an excellent teacher.
3. Food and rooms were basic, but clean, hygienic, and good. Don’t expect 5 star treatment, but instead the feeling of home-cooked meals and a great atmosphere.
4. Lastly, the co-founders (Avi and Anita) were themselves involved. Right from ensuring a comfortable stay, to being on-ground at the flying sites and training pilots, they are hands-on at each step.
Temple Pilots has my highest recommendation. I would definitely come here again.
