If you're planning a professional pilot career, FSA is probably one of the top schools in the country. I started as a student there a little over 2 1/2 years ago and finished their C/I/ME program. I have since completed all the way up to my CFI/I at other school in Ohio and CA, as well as did some teaching in CA. Based on what I experienced at these other schools, I was very happy when FSA called me and offered me a job.

The program is very structured, and yes, may be a little on the pricey side, but they definitley don't train you JUST to pass the checkride..like some other popular schools do.

No, most of our planes aren't shiney glass cockpits, but our maintenance department is the best I've ever seen. IF you find a problem during preflight, you just get another plane. You are NEVER pressured into flying a marginally safe aircraft..that's the benefit of having 80 aircraft.

If you want to know more feel free to message me..there are some negative aspects to the school, and I'd be more than happy to share them with you; but overall, I think you'll have a hard time finding a better place to train. Hope I helped some...
