In August of last year I flew all the way from Canada to check out Melbourne Flight Training expressing interest as to where I wanted to start my flight training. Moving down to Florida was immediately a huge selling point but taking a discovery flight with Melissa truly sealed the deal. After hearing Melissa’s flight training experience and what sets MFT apart from the rest, I decided to submit an application the next day. I am currently enrolled in the CAP program about 4 months into my training and I absolutely love it. I highly recommend anyone interested in pursuing a career in aviation consider Melbourne Flight Training.

I recently booked a discovery flight with Rutger Doe, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Rutger was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Before takeoff, he conducted a thorough inspection of the aircraft and took the time to walk me through the key safety procedures, policies, and rules. His clear communication and attention to detail really stood out, and I felt very safe in his hands. The flight itself was smooth, enjoyable, and an unforgettable introduction to aviation. Rutger’s passion for flying is evident, and he created a welcoming and informative environment that made the experience even more special. I highly recommend Melbourne Flight Training since they take time to not only hire the best but also train their employees very well.

Thank you MLB flight training for everything. Top school, amazing staff, mind blowing planes. Special shout out to my instructor Melyssa for her exceptional knowledge and availability. Thank you believing in me!! Tail winds and clear skies ahead!

I had my discovery flight with Brock Holland and he was a great instructor! He was super knowledgeable and friendly. He was also very thorough with his checklists. My sister and I really enjoyed the discovery flight and I’m grateful for the advice he gave me about a pilot career and finding the right training program! Briana from MFT was also incredibly helpful and responsive with booking the tour/flight. It was great to work with both of them!

I recently completed my Cirrus transition training at Melbourne Flight Training, and I can’t say enough about how incredible the experience was. The instructors were absolutely top-notch—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about aviation. They made the transition into the Cirrus feel seamless and gave me the confidence and skills I needed to fly safely and efficiently. What really stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to making sure I understood not just the “how,” but the “why” behind every system and procedure. The professionalism and support from the entire MFT team made this one of the best training experiences I’ve ever had. If you're looking to train in a Cirrus or advance your flying with instructors who truly care, Melbourne Flight Training is the place to go. Highly recommend!
