Thomas and his son had an exceptional experience with Airlink's discovery flight program while vacationing in Florida. Pilot Sidh provided outstanding, professional service that impressed both flyers so much they returned days later for another flight. The reasonable pricing and excellent customer service made this a memorable aviation experience for the family.

Alex completed private pilot training at Airlink with an excellent instructor and well-maintained aircraft in a convenient facility. However, a subsequent instructor showed poor responsiveness and communication when Alex sought recurrent training years later. After the school intervened and assigned a new professional instructor, Alex's experience improved significantly with prompt scheduling and quality instruction.

Dishonest owners. Verbal agreement to sell their DA40 with no intention to do so. If their word is not good for something like that, I wouldn’t trust them with keeping their aircraft safe or airworthy. Stall, delay, go back on their word, then cancel the deal.

The worst school I’ve ever been. Keep changing the price with no reason and people just not welling to help. They are trying to milking the student. Both FL and ME are the same. I was doing part 61.

Courses
Private Pilot Training (PPL)
Build a strong foundation in aviation with the Private Pilot License (PPL) program, designed for beginners with no prior flying experience. This course includes comprehensive ground school and hands-on flight training using single-engine aircraft, covering essential topics like navigation, meteorology, and aircraft systems. By the end of the program, students earn a Single-Engine Land Rating and gain the skills required to fly safely and confidently for personal or recreational purposes.
Instrument Rating (IR)
The Instrument Rating (IR) program enhances a pilot’s ability to operate aircraft under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), allowing flying in low visibility and adverse weather conditions. Through advanced training in navigation systems, flight instruments, and real-world scenarios, students develop precision, situational awareness, and decision-making skills—making them more competent and confident pilots.
Commercial Pilot License (CPL)
The Commercial Pilot License (CPL) program prepares aspiring aviators for professional flying careers. It includes both Single-Engine and Multi-Engine Commercial Pilot training, focusing on advanced flight maneuvers, navigation, and operational procedures. With a strong emphasis on real-world aviation standards, this course equips students with the knowledge, flight hours, and certifications required to pursue opportunities in airlines, charter services, and other aviation sectors.
Flight Instructor Training (CFI)
The Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) program is designed for pilots who want to build flight hours while teaching and mentoring future aviators. This course focuses on instructional techniques, lesson planning, and advanced flight proficiency. Graduates become certified instructors, opening doors to rewarding teaching careers while strengthening their own flying expertise.
India DGCA Program
A structured pathway built for Indian candidates, combining ground classes delivered in India with over 270 hours of flight and simulator training in Florida. It takes a candidate from zero flying experience through to a Commercial Pilot Licence and, optionally, Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 type ratings, with training documentation maintained to DGCA requirements throughout so the licence can be converted on return to India.
