Premier Pilot Training helped me earn my private pilot's license while still in high school!Posted on Ruth BrajkovichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Premier Flight School was fantastic! I was in the middle of training for my PPL at another school when I reached out to Darrell. I truly felt Darrell and his instructors cared about my success. Their encouragement and support shined through as they tailored lessons to my learning style. At 53 I discovered it’s never too late to chase a dream. Thanks to Premier and Brad‘s patience, I had the best time and learned so much. If you ever considered flying, call Darrell. I highly recommend Premier Pilot Training, absolutely outstanding flight school.Posted on Ken WaidelichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a recently retired major airline Captain with nearly 20,000 hours of flight time. I've been a flight instructor in the military, a flight standards line check pilot, and a simulator instructor with a multi engine ATP rating, BUT I've never gotten my ASEL commercial rating. Recently, an opportunity arose for me to fly a Cirrus aircraft for hire, and I needed an instructor to design a tailored program for me to safely reach my goal in minimal time. With very little Cirrus time in my logbook, I reached out to Darrell. He wasted no time putting a plan together and assigned me a premium instructor, Roger, to work with me. Both Darrell and Roger teamed up to give me some of the best training I've seen in my career. We accomplished the mission very quickly and safely - and I have my newest rating - ASEL. These guys are GOOD! Not only do they have a thorough knowledge of the Cirrus aircraft, but they have a deep respect for aviation and safety. Take it from a career professional pilot, Premier Pilot Training is a fantastic school for pilots of all experience levels. They do excellent work and keep it enjoyable. I'm happy that my friend suggested working with Darrell.Posted on James BettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure to fly with Darrell. He worked with me to get my training completed and prioritize an airplane for me to complete my check ride with several date and time changes due to weather and other conflicts. It was a great personalized experience.The airplanes fly really well and maintenance is a top priority here. I highly recommend them.Posted on Sophia BirbasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Premier Pilot training. Darrell and the instructors are great to work with, and I feel I get a lot out of lessons. I switched from another school in the middle of my training and Darrell and the team made sure no time was wasted and I adjusted quickly. Some flight schools drag you on to keep making money, but this school genuinely wants you to succeed.Posted on Joshua MacGillisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went on a discovery flight with instructor Nick. Had a blast! Professional, fun, safe flying experience. Would highly recommend Premier PilotPosted on Lee LebbonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first flight with Darrell was in October of 2011 as a Private pilot student. Through the years I have flown with Darrell many times working on Instrument Rating, BFR’s, staying current and just sometimes wanting to share a flight with someone who has great knowledge and passion for aviation. Professionalism, enthusiasm and passion are words I would use to describe my experiences. When I decided to pursue advanced ratings PPT was my immediate go to. Darrell and his team have the knowledge and aircraft to cover all the bases and have made it, most important fun! They deliver the same great instruction and commitment to your learning whether in a C152 or the most modern Cirrus. Stop in, take a flight, the sky is the limit with the folks at PPT.Posted on sara carlsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place! You can fly out of Harrisburg CXY or York TYV. I used both. Great learning environment and people. I’d recommend Brad K. as CFI to anybody.Posted on Devin EmenheiserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Premier Pilot Training has a great fleet of aircraft to suit the needs of anyone looking for structured and personalized flight instruction. Their instructors have the knowledge and experience required to refine your skills as a pilot, progressing you through your tests and check rides efficiently and safely.Posted on Jason SanseverinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been a student at Premier Pilot Training for about two years now, and I can confidently say that their instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, with top-notch training techniques. Their airplanes are always well-maintained, and the facility is conveniently located for anyone in the greater Central Pennsylvania area. I recently completed my VFR Cirrus transition training with their certified Cirrus instructors and approved courses, which was an amazing experience. Highly recommend Premier Pilot Training!
