CAST YOUR VOTES

FLIGHT TRAINING EXPERIENCE SURVEY NOW OPEN
IF YOU HAVE TAKEN FLIGHT TRAINING IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS, SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

in AOPA's annual Flight Training Experience Survey. This customer satisfaction
review is essential to You Can Fly efforts to improve the flight training experience
nationwide-and your opinion matters. Based on feedback in the survey, You Can Fly
identifies the top flight schools and instructors in the nation and recognizes them
for their best-practices efforts. The data gathered is also used to monitor trends in
the industry. From the data accumulated, You Can Fly supplies report cards to flight
schools and instructors to allow them to see where they excel and where they may
need to improve. You Can Fly will recognize schools and instructors in six regions this
year: Northwest Mountains, Western Pacific, Great Lakes, Central Southwest, Eastern,
and Southern. These regions correspond to the AOPA regional managers in those areas.
The You Can Fly team has made changes to the survey, making it quicker and easier to
complete. And you can win one of 11 prizes ranging in value from $100 to $360 for your
participation. The survey is open June 1 through July 31, 2019.
