While planning a vacation to Florida, I decided I wanted to rent an airplane while I was there. In preparation for this vacation, I performed a Google search for some flight schools in the area and found JAXAERO with a nearly perfect rating. Their website had a very professional appearance and I noticed that they also have very well equipped aircraft. One of their Cessna 172s, N939SP, has all of the avionics I was looking for.
I contacted JAXAERO and eventually spoke with Jon Rutledge. He was extremely helpful and prompt getting me set up for a rental checkout flight as well as reserving the aircraft for me to fly around FL afterwards. After giving it some thought, I decided to travel to FL for a few days in advance of my vacation to do the checkout flight and knock out my commercial long XC. Jon promptly rearranged everything and got me all set up with the rental checkout and the reservations.
Upon arrival to JAXAERO I was greeted by so many kind, passionate, and professional aviators, including the owner, to help me get started with the checkout process. The owner is extremely passionate about aviation and I could tell he strives for excellence in customer service at his flight school. The hanger has a relaxed but professional vibe and I was made to immediately feel at home.
My rental checkout was with Idris Algabyali. He is an excellent flight instructor and a passionate aviator. He was very professional and prompt leading up to, during, and after the checkout. He helped me with all the details pertaining to the aircraft rental. He provided me with very informative ground sessions pre/post flight. During those sessions, I learned how efficiently JAXAERO's process is to check-out/check-in their aircraft. We shared with each other why we are both passionate about aviation and what inspired us to do what we do. We then had a great checkout flight and he even helped me improve some aspects pertaining to my landing technique.
I had a wonderful experience flying JAXAERO's beautiful, well-maintained, and well-equipped Skyhawk SP all around Florida the following day for my commercial long XC. I'm looking forward to flying it again on my FL vacation! I'm very grateful for all of the excellent service I received while I was there by their entire staff. If you are or will be in the Northeastern FL area, I highly recommend this flight school!

Very nice facility and well maintained airplanes. Professional atmosphere with approachable instructors. 🛩️
About halfway through Private Pilot and I have to say that this is indeed a worthy challenge. Having retired from an advanced IT career, one would think that this skill (and depth / breadth of knowledge) would come easily to one that loves to learn, but alas... I am certain that I am a challenging student hah. Luckily, I have Idris Algabyali as my CFI. His level of patience, ability to break complex subject matter into comprehensible bite-sized chunks is nothing short of amazing. The confidence and skill level that he exudes while demonstrating maneuvers and concepts that will ultimately make one a safer and successful pilot is mind-blowing. He flies these birds like a well-seasoned race car driver drifts around corners at 180 mph. I've had the pleasure of flying with several of the other CFIs at JaxAero and frankly, I've not yet met one that isn't top-notch (some are Idres' past students). JaxAero is indeed lucky to have such a team of talented CFI (and II's) on their roster. I'm excited to get through Private and onto Instrument.
Owen Werner is an excellent flight instructor! He’s patient, knowledgeable, and always makes safety a top priority. I’ve learned so much flying with him and always felt confident in the cockpit. Highly recommend!
