Although my experience at Aviator (Ari-Ben) was some time ago, I'll give my negative recommendation. I did get in and out with my flight time I was there for but the overall experience was very poor.

-After they said they'd pick us up at the airport in Palm Beach after we flew in on JetBlue, they left us at the airport for nearly five hours before coming and getting us.

-They said they had a "rental car" for a daily fee. The car was a complete beater and broke down on us twice.

-They didn't tell us we'd have to fly in the middle of the night until after we were there.

-Very poor maintenance. We brought in the logbook after writing up a totally failed Mag.... guy takes logbook from us without even looking at airplane and says "There's nothing wrong with the airplane"... and puts it back in the ready to fly column. I was there two weeks and had MANY mechanical problems with the airplanes. Seemed like they didn't want to spend money on problems.

If I tried hard I could probably think of much more to say about my laughable experience there, but that's what comes to the top of my head.

It definitely was the cheapest multi-time available and I guess you get what you pay for. I just feel for you guys paying what you're paying for your training these days. Ridiculous!!!
