WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY…

From Sam Ross
"Pinnacle is by far the best flight school in San Diego County. Their aircraft are in excellent condition and well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful and ready to go the extra mile to help a student, renter or visitor. The instructors provide the highest caliber of instruction from private to instrument to commercial rating."

From Rachel Smith
"Pinnacle is incredible!! I began as a student with zero hours in August of 2001. Since that time I have received my Private and Instrument ratings, and am currently working on my Commercial/CFI. Pinnacle has exceeded even my highest expectations. The flight instruction is unmatched. I am equally impressed with the fleet of impeccably maintained aircraft, many of which are new. You will not find a better value or another school of this caliber. I know this because I personally interviewed more than fifteen other flight schools in California and beyond. You can't believe what's out there until you see it with your own eyes. Do what I did, compare! I drive fifty miles (each way) to Pinnacle four-to-five days every week because they are that much better. Thanks to all at Pinnacle for your contributions to my success. I look forward to many years of flying at Pinnacle."

From Brandi Johnson
"Pinnacle has been both positive and rewarding! It is a great place to learn to fly. I started as a Private Pilot and am now finishing my commercial rating. I have looked at all the flight schools in the San Diego area and found Pinnacle to be the best all around. Their maintenance standards alone are worth flying with them!"

From Thiemo Gorath
"Maintenance and overall condition of the planes was superb. Even brand new planes are available for reasonable rates. I got the best support I could think of for my Instrument rating. The instructors are all very helpful and try to assist wherever possible. Special thanks to George, Tom, Jeff, Jon and Mark for a great job and the great help I got. I'll be back for more next time I stop by in Carlsbad on vacation from Germany."

From David Richardson
"I came in to town to visit my father. We went to Pinnacle and to get checked out in a 172R. The plane was well cared for and the staff very helpful. Kim Webster did the check out and was a delight during the check out. I will be back to rent planes from them."

From Rick Colson
"Got my Private ticket through Pinnacle in April. They have a fleet of newer (R model) 172's equipped the same, and many 152's all equipped the same which makes training and scheduling easier. The planes are very clean and well maintained. Instructors are very good - thank you Russ, Randy, Mark and George - and the staff behind the desk are great. A first-rate operation. And a one-stop-shop for training, testing , ratings and checkrides. They continue to be helpful and easy to schedule for my day-trip or shorter rentals."

From Randy Perez
"Feb. 4-2002 I did earn my wings, special thanks to George, Tom, Owen, Laura, Nate, over at Pinnacle Academy the ceiling is never overcast, and they 'R' like United Airlines the friendly flying academy."

From Jean Claude Dispaux
"I got checked out and rented a C172R from this company. Their planes are superbly maintained, their staff is friendly and competent, the place just feels great. Prices are more than reasonable for the quality offered. If all FBO's were like this, life would be so nice!"

From Gary Ramsdale
"I rented PA28 for several day trips during my recent visit from UK. Special thanks to Gina for my check-ride and local information. Everyone at Pinnacle made my stay very welcome, I will come back again."

From Capt. David D. La Belle
"In forty-seven years of flying I've never run across a finer FBO. Everything about Pinnacle is top notch! Their aircraft are all in like new condition. They are all friendly and treat customers like family."

From Cindy Ruff
"Pinnacles planes are incredibly well kept with more additions added just this year. They now have 3 182's including a Millenium Edition, two newer 172's, a Duchess and a well kept group of 152's. The entire staff is great, but my favorite instructor is Kathy Felker. She is incredibly thorough and knowledble, and is not like so many instructors just trying to get hours. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants earn their wings, or are working on a higher rating."
