My son completed spin training with Jack on 4/21/25. The entire staff is extremely friendly and Jack is a superb instructor. Will definitely go back to Parrish Aviation for future training!

I am so glad I found Michael and Jack Parrish. I could not have gotten my Private Pilot License without them. They are such great teachers and even better people. They are building a terrific flight school. All of their instructors are top notch. You will have a hard time finding a better flight school!!!

I attended Parish Aviation last spring, and overall, it was a great experience. Charles, in particular, was outstanding! Initially, the group ground school sessions were very helpful, but as time went on, they seemed to lack the structure and syllabus that the first lessons had, which were based on the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. Instead, the sessions became more random, focusing on material relevant to the closest checkride. Despite this, the ground sessions remained valuable as they provided useful refreshers.

The main downside was the limited availability of aircraft and the frequent 100-hour inspections, largely due to the high volume of students. However, training at KRBD was a positive experience, especially since it’s easier to navigate out of the bravo compared to KADS. I’d consider training at Parish again in the future, particularly if they improve their resources and start accepting VA benefits, which might be possible if they achieve Part 141 certification.

I came to Parrish to complete my Instrument Rating after an extended break from flying, and had a great experience training here! All of the instructors and staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly, and their rates are competitive for the area. They took the time to understand where I was with my previous flying experience, get me comfortable in the airplane again after such a long gap, and then jumped right into completing my instrument training. They were able to work with with my tight timeline to complete the rating, as well as accommodate my full-time work schedule. Overall, just a very relaxed, friendly, and quality training experience that I would definitely recommend!

Parrish aviation is an amazing flight school to attend! I received my CFI and CFII from them and felt welcomed as soon as I walked through the door. All the instructors are super friendly and very knowledgeable! Never felt scared to ask questions or ask someone to show me the ropes. The students there are also very friendly and welcoming! They just recently expanded their facility and the new add on looks amazing! If you are looking for a solid flight school with the best and friendliest instructors you can find that at Parrish Aviation!!

I came to Parrish with zero aviation experience and they welcomed me with open arms. They have given me all the tools I need to have a successfully career. My instructor Sylvia has also been the greatest. She is patient and very knowledgeable. Her commitment to safety has also been very honorable to me. I would recommend Parrish to any looking to further their aviation career.
