-----January 2021 - Update-----
With the help of Inflight Pilot Training, On December 17,
I was able to fulfill my dream of becoming a pilot, and I will always be grateful for that!
Inflight Pilot school provided the top of the line training which I was able to used during my checkride. Their CFIs are very professional and knowledgeable to teach you everything you need in preparation for your checkride to get your license.
Not only that but I was able to make friends and network as well with the different instructors at Inflight which I would treasure for lifetime!
I would say that overall, Inflight school are the best flight school in twin cities which I would definitely recommend for everyone who is looking to fulfill their dreams of becoming a pilot whether for fun and hobby or as a career!
I am looking forward for my next training with them for sure and already started selling the idea as well to my friends and relatives who wants to fly planes as well! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
-----December 2021-----
I started just taking the Discovery Flight at Inflight Pilot Training and true to their words, I got a full hour flying time and a 30 min ground lesson compared to other Flight Training provider where they just give you an hour for both Flight and Ground lesson.
After the discovery flight I just can't help myself but to keep flying more so I enrolled in their program and currently trying to get my Private Pilot License soon.
All I can say is the training is excellent as I was able to understand the basics from the ground up and the ambiance of the training school is very much welcoming.
Lastly, aside from the very professional and knowledgeable instructors at inflight, I get to enjoy some treats after my flight training with Sweet Martha's cookies! :)

At the beginning of May, my curiosity got the best of me, and I scheduled a discovery flight at Inflight Pilot Training. I had been toying around with the idea of flight training, but really wasn't sure if it would be worth the investment.
My first flight, I had the time of my life. My instructor was fun, snapped a few pictures of me, and gave me my first lesson behind the yolk. I came down giddy, and within a week was back signing on as a new student.
I had looked at a couple other flight schools, but what really convinced me about Inflight was how upfront they were about costs and expectations, while really showing a sense of compassion for their students and passion for not just aviation - but creating new pilots.
While many of the flight instructors have goals of airlines someday, at no point have I felt like I was just being used to build their hours. I have worked with multiple CFIs during my training, seeing how concepts can be explained differently, seeing different points of view for how to handle challenging situation. Having a big team of extremely capable CFIs, along with a large fleet of planes to train in, has meant that my training has had very minimal delays due to instructor availability or aircraft availability. There is always some option available if I want to get some training in!
I have my private checkride scheduled next month, and intend to stick with Inflight as I work my way up to being a CFI. Their passion and desire to be the best is something that sticks with their students, and I intend to keep living up to the Inflight standard!
UPDATE: I completed my commercial checkride with Inflight on November 9. I was thrilled with my training - I worked with CFIs that pushed me out of my comfort zone to get me more exact and proficient at every aspect of my new rating. I was very happy that I had not only a complex plane like the Arrow to get my complex endorsement, but also was able to complete my high performance in the SR20 and get G1000 time in their new 172S. I felt well rounded in my training, and am excited to complete my CFI next!
UPDATE: I successfully completed my CFI ride on the first try just before Christmas 2021. Inflight and all of the instructors have been amazing in helping me go from PPL in January 2021 to CFI by the end of the year. I was very grateful to have their staff work to fit my schedule and pair me up with others in the Inflight community to help me study and get me over the finish line. I look forward to finishing up my CFII and start teaching soon.

I completed my private pilot training at Inflight and was extremely happy with their process and the outcome. The instructors are top notch, there is a strong emphasis on safety, and everyone I interacted with at the school was professional and helpful. Special thanks to Matt and Drew as my primary CFI’s, they were both great. While I have not tested every flight school in Minnesota, I think you would have a hard time finding a better one in the state. I will definitely be back at Inflight for their flying club and for any future ratings or training needs!

I completely recommend Inflight Pilot Training. I am a current student at Inflight and will be taking my PPL checkride very soon! Inflight is professional, safe, and very friendly. They prioritize their staff and students which speaks volumes to how well the company runs. The planes are well maintained. Training is organized yet customizable for the student. It's a great community to be apart of.
I did have a slight hick-up at the beginning of my flight training and switched to a different instructor. Inflight made sure my experience and transition was smooth. Inflight has amazing instructors all around but like other comments suggest, be sure you find someone that teaches in a way you learn. Nothing wrong with finding a good fit for yourself. Shout out to Ambyr! She is AMAZING!
I love flying out of FCM. It really makes you feel confident having exposure to a busy class D airport early on. It becomes normal for you. Practice areas and smaller airports are nearby though.
EDIT 4/20/2021: Inflight has just launched a new instructor matching program! This is going to be a great new tool to help match students and instructors that will work best together how cool.
Also, I just passed my private checkride and instrument rating checkride since I posted this review. Each ride I took with different DPEs and each were very impressed. Instruments in the airplanes are great for training. I choose to learn both the 430 and 650, but focused on the 650 at the end of my training for the checkride. I have to say this is thanks to the thorough prep from inflight. Their training is way above average!
Edit 12/8/2021: I passed my commercial with Inflight on 11/2! I did another new DPE but was completely prepared for commercial. Again overprepared, which is what you want going into an exam right? I wanted to do this on a time crunch and I worked with many different CFIs. At this level in my training, this was actually a great learning experience. I got to see and learn different things from each of them. Infight's scheduling system allows that if you want. I was able to study with other students, inflight creates a great atmosphere for that so don't be afraid to make friends and study with other students or ask your CFI to help make those introductions.
