Sheble Aviation

[There]

Sheble is great, especially for add-ons.
Be prepared and be patient. They run on organized chaos and it works for everyone.
If you are beyond PPL, you know the standards for the next rating, or should. Be ready for the checkride(s) you plan on taking before you get there. If you are hung up on one or two maneuvers, they will get you to the finish line. The instructors are not there to gouge you for money or build their flight time; this is the case at most FBOs. They are not really an FBO per se, they are in the business of finishing pilots. They do what it takes to get the job done. The prices are fair and they are in the minority of the few honest folks in the business.
I learned more about leadership than anything else while I was there. Joe Sheble has taught his son JoJo very well. They have been in the business a very long time for a reason. I was fortunate enough to see the youngest Sheble do his first solo flight and watch two very proud fathers in action.
I will definitely go back for CFI/I add-ons and MEI. Stay at the Avi, do not pay more than $25/night.

Was there in 2007 for my inst/com/multi inst com. Great people did my inst and com ride with Joe Sr and my multi com/inst with Eddie. The airplanes are very basic for IFR and enjoyed flying the travel air for my multi. Honest and nice people to be around. Heard they moved from Kingman to some other field nearby.

I'm shopping for a school to do my instrument rating in. Sheble has been recommended to me by at least 5 people. To anyone that has done their instrument program, care to share the experience, the end price, and the training progression? Thanks

Well I went out there to do my IRA and my Comm SEL in Feb and had to leave before ever taking a flight due to a family emergency. Sheble is across the country from me here in Ga but it will be worth the trip back from what I have seen. Their prices are the best in country for what they provide and they will get you done ASAP. The reviews posted on this site are spot on from what I've seen while out there. It was a very busy place when I was there but everyone was very understanding of my situation and I was treated like a customer instead of a like a high school kid that a lot of schools tend to do. I will be going back in a few weeks.
