Comparing different flight training schools in the Miami area
Quote from jeeryparker13 on January 31, 2026, 4:12 pmHey! I've been narrowing down my list of flight training schools near Miami and Hollywood. Pelican Flight Training is one of my top choices right now because of their professional Pilot Program A. It seems very structured, taking you from zero experience to a fully qualified commercial pilot. I’m mostly looking at helicopters, and they seem to have a dedicated department for that. Does anyone know how their fleet of helicopters compares to other schools in the region? I want to make sure I’m training on well-maintained equipment. The 40 years of excellence they mention on their site sounds good, but I'd love some "real-world" feedback from students. Thanks!
