Thank you for investing time to provide us your feedback through the Flight Training Experience Survey.
The survey encourages anyone who has taken flight training in the past 12 months to candidly share their training experiences. Responses are used to measure the overall performance of the respondent’s flight training providers and spotlight areas where they are successful and where they have opportunities to improve.
Survey participants include pilots of all experience levels, from new students to those earning advanced ratings or taking a flight review. Survey results are used to select winners of the Flight Training Experience Awards, which will be presented October 10, during Redbird Migration at AOPA headquarters in Frederick, Maryland.
For each of the two categories, Best Flight School and Best Flight Instructor, a total of six awards will be presented. One will be awarded to the top scorers in each of five regions - West, Southwest, Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast. The sixth award will go to the overall National Award winner.
Additionally, regional winners will receive a Zulu 3 headset, compliments of Lightspeed.
This award is granted to flight schools and flight instructors who received at least 5 independent reviews and consistently earned superior ratings from their customers on the areas highlighted in the Flight Training Experience Research (Educational Quality, Customer Service, Information Sharing, and Community).
