What Our Clients Say

“My first FlightSimCoach session and it was really a great experience. Jordan was very easy to discuss issues with and never seemed to be “talking down” to me as has happened on various forums and help sites. Had sent him a “bullet list” of issues/problems I needed help with. All the issues/problems were software related. There was no how to fly or navigate issues for this session. He was well prepared and resolved each bullet quickly and explained what was happening and why. After sending the “bullet list” but before our session MSFS2020 just quit. It would not open/boot. Jordan took on this surprise issue first during the session and resolved the issue. Will consider Jordan to be my go to resource for any assistance with MSFS2020.”

“Rafael remotely set up my equipment to a high standard, updating drivers for it all and making it work. He then calmly and clearly guided me through making the instruments work.”

“Hi Mike, I just wanted to pass on some feedback about Rafael, who has been helping me with both the technical side of my simulator and my flying instruction. I think it’s important that you know how your instructors are performing, and I can honestly say Rafael is 10/10, just like you and Jordan. He has excellent in-depth knowledge, explains things clearly and, most importantly, knows how to simplify things so students can easily understand them. That, to me, is exactly what makes a good instructor. It’s great to see you’ve built such a competent and professional team. Rafael clearly has a very promising future in aviation ahead of him, and I thought his efforts deserved some recognition. Best regards, Kevin”

“I had a great session with Sam. He is very knowledgeable and I wanted his opinions on various topics since he is a commercial pilot. I had a written agenda on questions and he was nice enough to go a few extra minutes to answer all my questions. I really enjoyed my session with Sam and he taught me a number of very helpful tips on navigation.”
