Brandywine Flight School, West Chester PA

I got my Private Pilots license here and my experience was really good. My instructors were great and the planes are reliable.

Been working with Stephen, the owner of the flight school. As a younger pilot, I find the environment very welcoming. All instructors are kind and encouraging, and unlike other flight schools, I feel I am receiving personal attention and support in my training that I couldn’t find in most other places. Couldn’t think of a better place to do my training!

Wonderful life changing experience training at Brandywine Flight School. Stephen was extremely accommodating and was able to match my then 16 year old son and I with the perfect instructor. He was always eager to help us in any way possible. I credit the team at Brandywine with opening us up to a whole new world and helping me fulfill a life long dream!

This place has a highly unprofessional business owner. I called to inquire about their new FTD simulator (they sent a mass email about it) and he couldn't have been more of a jerk. Perhaps he thought I was a salesman, which I am not. Either way, it is highly unprofessional to hang up on someone as a business owner. I also recall dealing with this place a long time ago when I was looking to rent aircraft in the Philadelphia metro area and it was an unpleasant experience. It drove me to rent from a place at Chester County (MQS) instead. Change your attitude Stephen, good day.

Excellent and professional instructors, solid, reliable equipment and easy scheduling. Trips to the beach and mountains are only 30min and we soar over traffic heading there on a Friday afternoon. My only regret is not starting flight training sooner! Thanks BFS!

Earned my Private Certificate while a student at BFS. My Instructor (Now an Airline Pilot) worked with me as I maintained a full time job. We flew evenings and weekends to get to the end result. I felt well prepared for the CheckRide. It’s good to call oneself a Pilot.

I came to Brandywine Flight School after wasting money at the nearby Pottstown (N47) flight school. I only had a few months to get my license but despite that challenge, Brandywine stepped up and helped me get my training and check-ride done. Professional school with professional instructors that are knowledgeable and put the student at ease.
Bad reviews on here are from people who lack respect for the school and their instructors. I wouldn't listen to them. My experience at Brandywine couldn't have been better. Thanks for all the help Brandywine!

The team at Brandywine Flight School is top notch. Stephen was very welcoming to me when I started training at the age of 56. I was teamed up with the veteran CFI Rick L and he took me right under his wing. I felt very comfortable flying with Rick and learned a tremendous amount about aviation as I started out green. Due to medical reasons, I was unable to obtain my medical from the FAA however I’m still able to fly and go back to BFS to enjoy flights frequently. I’m hoping to branch out to the glider community and get my PPL G and fly motor gliders in the near future. I highly recommend this school.

Attended the Hanger Night event. Excellent presentation and a very friendly and helpful staff.

I called to ask if the airport flight school offered discount coupons for a free introductory flight for my son, Knowing it has been a thing since the early 70"s due to having taken one myself, I even received the lesson at Brandy wine. I bought a log book from the front counter to start me off. Well Steve The aviation God that he is Said " there was no such thing and he never heard of it". I looked it up on the web and it turns out it was sponsored by EAA Eagle Flights

EAA’s Eagle Flights is a free introductory flight experience and informal mentoring program designed to welcome and encourage adults who want to discover flying, but don’t know how or where to take that first step. It begins with a hands-on introduction, where you’ll fly with a local EAA-member pilot who will let you follow along at the controls of the airplane to get a feel for what being a pilot is all about.

After the flight, he or she can help you learn more about how to get involved in your local aviation community, including the next steps you can take on the path to becoming a pilot.

The best part? The whole experience is free. No sales. No pressure. Just a whole lot of fun and education with a big take-home point: Your dream of flying is a lot closer than you think.

I called back to correct my self as i miss quoted that it was from Cessna. When i told him who I was and he said
"your the guy that I got into the pissing contest with" and hung up on me. He must be raking in millions form all the lessons he is giving to be able to act like a pom piss arrogant person. If you check the EAA website you can fined the closest airport and instructors.

Gave my part 107 test here and had a great experience. Greg (test instructor) was very nice and helpful the entire time. Highly recommended!
