Sawyer Aviation

I am a professional pilot and I was doing some airplane add-on training at Sawyer. I had flown about 15-20 hours and everything was good. At the same time that my instructor left, I also got very busy with work and I didn’t fly at Sawyer for a year. I had $15,000 prepaid on my account when I left. When I called to schedule a flight, Sawyer informed me that my $15,000 had “expired” and that I needed to put more money on account. Sure enough, I looked at MY prepaid account online and they had a $15,000 transaction where they pulled all my money from my account which they did not provide any services for. Needless to say, I won’t be going back, and would not recommend any of my colleagues do transition training here.

Sawyer Aviation is a well known flight school in Arizona which was highly recommended to me by friends and family who attended and have since moved on from their private license to careers in commercial. One friend currently in Kazakhstan and the other flying over Cabo. This school provides ease of access, multiple payment plans, and a career opportunity that can move you out of an office and into the sky. They are also well connected in the valley and provide great recommendations for certification and equipment. Thank you and excited to be with Sawyer!

Absolute top notch training! Paul was thorough and very professional and took his job seriously while being very calm and friendly making it so easy to do what he was asking me to do. The type of instructor you'd love to have along for the flight even if you didn't have to.

Paul Redman, Sawyer Aviation chief pilot, did a great job administering my BFR yesterday. He taught a number of things making the time useful, and had a very gentle and friendly approach that put me at ease for the two hour ground and air portion. I can heartedly recommend him to anyone else needing a BFR in the future.

Awesome experience!! Incredibly helpful and super fun. I took my 8 yr old son and Paul was our pilot and instructor. He was super friendly and really enjoyable to be in the air with. Couldnt have asked for a better pilot. I highly recommend doing this for the education and the fun. Good knowledge and worth every penny for all ages.
