I recently completed my Private Pilot License (PPL) training in Florida with Pilot Path and Global Flight Training Solutions (GFTS), and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Traveling from Ireland, I was initially nervous about such a big step, but from start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and incredibly rewarding. The team at Pilot Path made the entire process stress-free, from helping with the visa arrangements to organizing accommodation near the Immokalee Regional Airport. The accommodation was comfortable, well-maintained, and close to all the training facilities, which made settling in so much easier.
GFTS exceeded my expectations as a training provider. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in my progress. The modern facilities, aircraft, and structured curriculum made every step of the journey enjoyable and productive. Pilot Path’s guidance and support throughout my training were invaluable. They ensured I had everything I needed to succeed, from pre-departure checklists to ongoing communication during my stay. Their commitment to student success truly sets them apart.
If you’re considering a career in aviation, I can’t recommend Pilot Path and GFTS enough. The combination of excellent training, a supportive environment, and Florida’s flying conditions makes this the ideal place to fast track your training. Thank you to the entire team for such a fantastic experience—I’ll always look back on this journey with gratitude!
Great experience with pilot path. I did the Fast track PPL in Florida and they made the whole process very simple. I was able to complete my PPL in 5 weeks having basically no previous flying experience .
