As a matter of fact. The motto was changed about 2 years ago. It seems the architects of the original tried to keep "AOA" in the name although it was technically not correct. Got some "professional" help and it is now "more better" BTW I'm a Riddle Diddle, and I certainly enjoyed my time in DAB. The school and the town is what you make of it. No one gives a rats a$$ that you're a pilot, so save it. You can be miserable or make the best of what is available. There are a lot of interesting "finds" in Daytona Beach, but if you can't be a little creative God help you. You will not be given an airline job upon graduation. However, hard work and networking will really pay off. I have worked at a few different flight schools through the years including ERAU, and I spent time in the part 121 world. ERAU is expensive, but you get what you pay for with the aircraft. CFI to CFI, you'll find good and bad anywhere you go. The quality of equipment at ERAU is no doubt the best anywhere in the US. Don't complain when you have to fly at 6am...you just might like it.
