Selecting a flight school or CFI is by far the most important decision that you will make at the start of your training.

❌ Choose the wrong training partner, and you will end up taking far longer and spending far more than you need to on your way to becoming a professional pilot.

✅ Choose the right school, and your training experience will be much like my own: fast, efficient, well organized, & very cost effective.

But here's the challenge: If you're new to aviation, you have no idea how to know if a given flight school or CFI is a great school, or one just out to maximize their profits at your expense.

And that's exactly where I come in.

How I Can Help You:

Over the past 2.5 years, I've:

• Trained at a Part 61 school and earned 7 ratings in 91 days for under $50K

• Worked as an independent CFI, logging 1,100+ hours of instruction

• Built a network of 80,000+ pilots who trust my judgment

I know what works. I know what doesn't. And I know how to spot the red flags.

Now I'm building a nationwide network of Fly with Trent-approved flight schools—schools that:

✅ Believe in accelerated training principles

✅ Have a proven track record of student success

✅ Use well-maintained aircraft with minimal downtime

✅ Follow structured syllabi (not just "building time")

✅ Provide scheduling flexibility so you're not waiting weeks between lessons

✅ Align with my values: integrity, efficiency, and student-first training

How It Works:

Step 1: Make your initial [refundable] deposit of $1,000

Why $1,000? Because finding a "Fly with Trent" approved flight school or CFI near you can be a very time-consuming process. As such, we need to know you are serious about getting started with your flight training before we invest the time to help you.

Step 2: Reply to the email you'll receive after making your deposit

We'll ask you key questions about your location, timeline, budget, and goals.

Step 3: I'll start the search to find you a suitable training partner

If I can't find you one, or you don't like the one I find for you, I'll refund your deposit, no questions asked.

Benefits To You:

When you work with me to help you find an approved training partner, you will:

1. Not have to call/visit all the flight schools near you (plus, you probably don't know what to ask them)

2. Save tens of thousands of dollars on your way from zero to CFI vs. the cost of one of the big box schools

3. Experience little to no turnover in your instructor (though you can always pick a new one if you wish)

4. Have your schedule planned out weeks in advance instead of just days, which is so common among most flight schools

5. Follow an approved syllabus for your training

6. Know that you are training with a school that believes in accelerated flight training and will support your goal of achieving your ratings quickly, safely, and cost effectively

Why This Matters More Than You Think:

I've seen it happen over and over:

Students enroll at a "convenient" school near them, only to discover:

• Aircraft are constantly down for maintenance

• Instructors leave every few months (restarting your progress)

• Scheduling is a nightmare (you wait 2 weeks between lessons)

• The school prioritizes their revenue over your success

The result? What should take 6-9 months takes 1-2 years. What should cost $70K costs $120K+.

I won't let that happen to you.
