This is truly a special club to me. I have been coming here a long time with my husband and the people here feel like my family. I am so blessed to be able to show my daughter this place and the people who keep its spirit alive and so welcoming.
Best flying club around and I’m not the only one who says it.
I had the fortune of having a fantastic commercial training instructor here as well as for CFI training. My DPE for the checkride had mentioned how much she respects WoC students, enjoying a higher pass rate than some of the pilot training mills in the area.
Rental checkouts take longer than other clubs or flight schools, but this is offset by lower plane rates, probably partly due to their very good safety record. The instructor rates are going up, and it makes sense since they were too cheap for the supply/demand curve. Wish they had done it in tiers, but I think we as members just got away with cheap instructor rates for a little too long and it's time to pay up.
Great place to learn to fly, very nice instructors, and they take good care of the plane maintenance, teaching as they go.
The Wings of Carolina Flying Club is a magnificent place to learn flying. The runway is unnecessarily long and makes for comfortable training. The airspace is rarely too busy and the instructors are nice and accommodating. Aircraft rates are extremely low and the planes are always maintained and fully fueled. I would definitely recommend this club to pilots of any age or skill range. After reading the negative review below I am shocked that anyone would say something about the instructors there. Any time I needed help throughout my training someone was always there to help. I had no issue passing my checkride and I was still in high school during my training. Perhaps the negative review below is more of a reflection on the individual and not on the instructors nor airport.
