“If flight school is something you’ve been thinking about, I can say without reservation consider Legacy Aviation. They have a full range of options at competitive pricing, a competent and friendly staff and a full fleet of airplanes ready to go.”
“The CFI training I’m receiving at Legacy Aviation has been better than anything I could have expected. My instructor, Joseph Montone has gone out of his way to give me all the knowledge he has attained over the decades of flying.”
“Thanks for keeping me in the loop during the progression of Legacy and its opening! I look forward to being a part of its prosperous future! It was also wonderful to fly 11M again; so nice to have greased the landings! Great feeling to be back.”
This is due in large part to the help I received from the folks at Legacy Aviation, especially Chief Flight Instructor Joe Montone.
I started flight school in 2014 at Hortman Aviation but the school had to close due to the owner’s passing away. So I followed my instructor to another flight school, about a 45 minute ride away, and after some time there I became aware that Legacy Aviation had opened a Flight school at North East Philadelphia Airport. Since this is a short commute I called and asked for an interview with Joe and told him my situation.
The interview with Joe Montone was very positive and he agreed to take me on as a student. That was in December of 2016 and at the time I thought I might be ready to take the oral exam and final checkride for a Private Pilot License. We scheduled a lesson to gauge my readiness and found a few gaps. I’ll never forget Joe’s response to these findings, “We can fix this”. I’m thankful he did because I feel it made me a better pilot. All of the fights we did together were dedicated to making sure from a procedural standpoint things were done correctly. These included communications in Class Bravo airspace, emergency procedures, cross wind landings, and navigation to name a few and always with an approach to situational awareness.
So if flight school is something you’ve been thinking about, I can say without reservation consider Legacy Aviation. They have a full range of options at competitive pricing, a competent and friendly staff and a full fleet of airplanes ready to go.
The CFI training I’m receiving at Legacy Aviation has been better than anything I could have expected. My instructor, Joseph Montone has gone out of his way to give me all the knowledge he has attained over the decades of flying.
I appreciate that the flight school holds a higher standard of training for me and the other Legacy students. I feel that I’m being trained to be a role model versus someone there to solely teach a student to fly.
I’m grateful that my instructor is as motivated to see me succeed as I am. My biggest take away from this school is that it bases its own success from the success of their students.
Thanks for keeping me in the loop during the progression of Legacy and its opening! I look forward to being a part of its prosperous future! It was also wonderful to fly 11M again; so nice to have greased the landings!! Great feeling to be back. What a fabulous day Friday was. Good flight, good food, good people. Thanks a million!
Had an intro flight lesson. Flight instructor was awesome. The whole staff at Legacy was friendly and professional. All around awesome experience!
Called and was given lesson next day by head instructor. No rush and very thorough with any questions I had. Onsite office staff was pleasant and helpful. Felt comfortable and well informed when I left. Thanks Joe and everyone for a great experience!
Kind, calm and patient describe my instructor. Patrick was professional and funny kept me calm on my first fixed wing flight
