    My experience with American Flyers has left me deeply disappointed and concerned. As a flight school, they operate more like a pilot mill, prioritizing profits over the success and safety of their students. It became clear to me that American Flyers does not truly care about whether students succeed or not, if they continue to pay for their services.One of the most alarming aspects of my time with American Flyers was the lack of attention to safety and accuracy in the training provided. There were instances where incorrect and even dangerous practices were taught, raising serious doubts about the competence and professionalism of the instructors.Another important aspect to consider is the lack of professionalism displayed by some flight instructors. Instead of providing comprehensive and efficient training, some instructors seemed more focused on extending the training process to maximize flight hours. This not only added unnecessary costs but also resulted in significant delays in obtaining my private pilot license.Despite being a part 141 school, which is supposed to offer more structured training, my experience at American Flyers was far from organized or efficient. I often found myself having to take the initiative to ensure that all necessary requirements were being met, as the school struggled to stay on top of its responsibilities.Furthermore, despite paying a premium rate for flight instruction, the level of service I received was disappointingly low tier. From unresponsive staff to inconsistent information regarding my refund request, it became evident that American Flyers does not prioritize customer satisfaction or effective communication.Overall, my experience with American Flyers has been incredibly disappointing and frustrating. Not only did I encounter significant challenges with communication and obtaining a refund for my flight instruction, but I also found that the quality of service did not match the premium rates charged.
