December is now upon us and as we come to the end of an amazing year, we at Savannah Aviation wish to thank all our clients for making 2022 a year to remember.

Our company has continued to grow and evolve with the singular purpose of providing the absolute best flight instruction and aircraft maintenance that coastal Georgia has to offer. Thanks to our loyal customer base, Savannah Aviation was once again voted "Best Flight School" for the third year in a row by Savannah Magazine's 2022 readers poll as well the second straight year as the Savannah Morning News "Best of the Coastal Empire".

It is our pleasure to be the regions best flight training and aircraft maintenance facility and we look forward with anticipation to what 2023 has in store for us.

Happy Holidays and we'll see ya around the airport!

"I have always been interested in aviation having grown up around aircraft and the industry with my dad being a commercial pilot. Shortly after starting my career as a Human Factors Engineer for Gulfstream, I was accepted into Gulfstream’s Employee Flight Training Program and given the opportunity to earn my Private Pilot License.

In my role as a Human Factors Engineer, I interact with the aircraft flight deck and pilots on a regular basis. There is a direct benefit for me in this role, to have some degree of pilot training and as I progressed through my training this was immediately clear. My firsthand experience and familiarity with aircraft controls, crew resource management, flight planning and aircraft systems enabled me to quickly integrate into the team."

"I wanted to go to a Part 141 school and a school where the instructors work with you and want you to succeed. At Savannah Aviation, I receive great training from the various instructors I’ve had and never felt rushed through the course. They did a good job of encouraging me to push myself to progress and learn what I needed to succeed without putting me in a position where I was uncomfortable. Each stage along the way I was confident and prepared which made it more enjoyable instead of stressful. Also, flying in and out of Savannah makes for some very scenic flights over the coast."

"I would like to continue my training and obtain an instrument rating and maybe one day own my own plane to fly with my husband who is also a pilot in training.

"Trust the process. At times you may feel like learning a certain aspect of flying is just not working out, whether it’s a specific maneuver or landings, but know that if you keep practicing and stick with it, it will come. Even sometimes flying with a different instructor a time or two might help as they may have a different way of explaining the same thing which might be all it takes for it to click. Additionally, it is important to put the work in outside of the airplane to prepare and practice things such as radio calls and procedures. The less you have to learn and practice in the sky the easier it is. It is easy to become overwhelmed while flying so it’s all about being prepared and knowing what to expect."
