I attended Pelican Flight Training at North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines, Florida, starting in November 2021, and I also worked at the school afterward as a Flight Instructor. Throughout my training and teaching, the school played a crucial role in helping me achieve my goals. The instructors and the training standards they uphold their students to are very professional. I met fantastic people and learned a lot from the experience as well as my peers.

Pelican Flight Training is the best school around. I’ve tried other schools but Pelican is the most Professional my personal opinion. The atmosphere is so positive, the instructors are all so nice and friendly and I just passed my instrument Rating at Pelican and my instructor Adrian was TERRIFIC! And I am so looking forward to going back to start my commercial with them.
