Student Reviews
Don't Take Our Word For It
We don't just train students. We build wingmen. See what pilots who trained at our Part 141 flight school near Goldsboro, NC have to say about the M2A Standard.
"I had an amazing experience with my Private Pilot License (PPL) training. The airplanes are top-notch, and the instructors are incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Most of them are veteran military pilots, which makes them great people to talk to and fly with. They have DPE there, and there's no delay on check rides! Overall it's a fun place to learn how to fly."
Andrew Beene "True professionals! Incredible training for military pilots or civilians from PPL all the way to ATP. M2A instructors are knowledgeable, experienced, and patient and will help you achieve your flying goals. Reasonably priced. Tightly run organization led ex fighter pilot and United Captain."
