Take Flight Aviation is awarded top honors at the 2018 AOPA Flight Training Experience Awards.

Take Flight Aviation is proud to announce that we were named both Best Flight School in the Nation and Best Flight School in the Northeast by the AOPA at the Flight Training Experience Awards on October 10, 2018.

The 2018 Flight Training Experience Survey received 6,310 complete responses. From that feedback, 954 flight schools and 1,849 flight instructors were reviewed by their customers. Awards were chosen for standout schools and for instructors with at least five independent reviews and consistently superior ratings. Customers highlighted educational quality, customer service, information sharing, and community among the 78 distinguished flight schools and 123 distinguished instructors. A “blind committee” of industry experts awarded the top scoring flight school and instructor in each of five regions—West, Southwest, Midwest, Southeast, and Northeast. A sixth award was presented to the overall national award winner.

Take Flight offers its most sincere thank you to our outstanding team and amazing clients who helped make this happen. Thank you!


Why do we say we’re the best in the Northeast? The AOPA told us so! Take Flight Aviation is proud to be AOPA’s 2017 Best Flight School in the Northeast….the only company to receive this award this year.

Take Flight Aviation, LLC is being honored for providing a high level of service to their customers, based on responses to the 2017 Flight Training Experience Survey, which closed in August. The survey was based on AOPA’s extensive research into the optimal flight training experience, and focused on four key factors: educational quality, customer focus, community, and information sharing. The award presentations were made in a ceremony at the 2017 Redbird Migration at the Experimental Aircraft Association Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

In 2016, Take Flight Aviation was awarded AOPA’s prestigious President’s Choice Award - one of only 5 companies ever to receive the award which recognizes innovation and contributions to the aviation training industry.

So what’s the big deal? You are! Our focus is on building you into the best pilot you can be in the safest equipment available…period. Give us a call to see what we can do for you.
