Thrust Flight

Top notch flight training. My instructor Travis was great. He took me on a two hour proficiency flight around Dallas. The air was pretty congested but it was an overall great experience. The sport cruisers are a ton of fun to fly and very user friendly.

WARNING: THESE AIRCRAFT WILL SPOIL YOU!!!
-seriously. Avionics are very user friendly and super cool. If you have any flying friends who are stuck in old conventional "steam" gauge aircraft, they will oogle and drool at your dynon EFIS or G1000nxi

Rental system is easy to operate through Flight Schedule Pro. just check the availability on the master schedule then fill out the form (I do this from my phone) and you're good to go. Any issues and Bryan Miles will be more than happy to assist you if you call the main line.
My suggestion is try to make your reservations at least a week in advance and to call to double check availability if you're taking something during prime time (usually fri-sat 9-5). If you're a frequent night flyer like me there are always a plethora of planes available.

Discovery Flights - super cool way to either just spend an afternoon or gauge your interest in flying. Typically the route is out to the east and over Ray Hubbard or Lavon, sometimes out to the north over Lake Lewisville (flying over water makes for good pics). Once you're up in the air your instructor will let you take the controls and get a feel for the aircraft. Depending on how comfortable you are (and how strong your stomach is) the instructor might show you some steep turns or stalls, but make sure you ask if you want to do this!
Even if you're not doing a tour flight you get great views of downtown Dallas every time flying in and out of Addison. I fly for the views and there is no better view than under the canopy of a Sport Cruiser.

Flight Training - Lots of stuff here I think people are typically questioning when considering flight training so I'm going to attempt to break it down.
1. Airspace - I hear a lot of people concerned about operating in such a complex airspace flying in and around DFW and here are my thoughts as someone who did their training out of Addison:
It will make you a better pilot.
The number one thing that keeps people from soloing (and therefore getting their license) doesn't have anything to do with their ability to actually fly, but their RADIO COMMUNICATION! Flying in and out of Addison and talking to approach will hone your skills at talking on the radios. I have flown with 1000+ hour pilots that aren't as comfortable flying in and out of KADS as 50 hour pilots who train there are!
The experience you gain flying in and out of this airspace will really prepare you for any situation.
2. Cost - Flight training is expensive, there's no way around that, but the last thing you need is someone using you for your flight hours!
I know most of the flight instructors both personally and professionally that work for thrust flight and I have never seen or heard any of them 'milk' their students for hours like you see at some of the bigger flight schools. Definitely cannot say that for every flight school I've been to or seen.
Remember, you get what you pay for, so be weary of any flight school or aircraft you're renting for too cheap and make sure they have had all the required inspections done!
3. Safety - I would take a nap flying with any of the Thrust Flight team at the controls. That should say all that is needed, but to add on: Thrust flight is one of the few flight schools that has in-house maintenance located on the field (and good maintenance too) and it is at your disposal. Have a question about something you see on preflight or even just clarification on understanding something? The Mx team is very knowledgeable and super friendly. Just ask!!

This school has the potential to take anyone from zero time through every commercial rating and flight instructor rating. That's a big deal.
Everyone is very friendly and helpful, so bottom line:
Definitely recommend Thrust Flight.

Highly recommend this place to get exceptional training and a unique experience at a busier airport under Class B airspace. You get so much exposure early on with a CFI instead of training at a smaller airport with few people around and then going to your first busy airspace by yourself. Your comms will be way better, you'll experience a ton of realistic scenarios (talking to approach, wake turbulence, traffic and spacing) and you're close to the practice area with plenty of controlled and uncontrolled airports to practice on. Not to say there aren't frustrations, especially when you get stuck on a skill, but talking to your instructor and coming up with a way to mix things up or deciding on a break to clear your head really helped. The staff is patient and professional. They want you to have a great experience. The biggest thing you want out of your training school is to feel safe and to get the best possible training for your money and Thrust is it. I started in the 172s and when the Archers came in I switched about halfway to get experience with both planes (and the AC definitely helped in the summer). They really do work hard to continue improving the school so if something is on your mind that's not working for you, talk to them. Everyone from scheduling to maintenance is there for you and your training.

I arrived at Thrust in 2021 looking to complete my CFIA and CFII certifications. It did not disappoint. I found all staff to be very friendly and professional. The Dispatch Department was always helpful and friendly. The Academy Instructors were very knowledgeable. The flight instructors were always willing to help me. Even the maintenance staff I interacted with on occasion were friendly and welcoming.

I would definitely recommend Thrust Flight School to anyone looking for pilot training!

I came to Thrust to finish up an instrument rating and within one month (flying part time) I passed my checkride. I decided to stay and complete my training as the staff, Bryan, Jen, and Anna always go above and beyond to help the students. The flight instruction I’ve received from Chase has been professional and high quality. I recommend this flight school if you are looking to train in a modern fleet.

I have been flying with thrust flight since September of 2021. So far I have learned an amazing amount and have had excellent instructor AJ that has taught me. Over all the staff such as Gen at the airport are welcoming and beyond helpful in working with your schedule to book flights as well as communicating to insure you are enjoying your experience. Other member of thrust such as Bryan make sure to include every individual in the family community that Thrust Flight has created. I did the Thrust three day Ground school class and learn and incredible amount of information and was able to become endorsed for the private pilot written exam. Over all thrust flight is a welcoming and hard working flight academy that insures their students development safety and enjoyment while participating in flight training.

I came to thrust with my PPL and within the first couple months I knew the training I was getting was unmatched. Students and instructors are extremely nice and easy to get along with. Bryan along with the rest of the staff make this school one of the best in the country. If you want great training and an amazing experience, come to Thrust Flight.

I am so glad I chose to do my flight training at Thrust Flight. I have had a plethora of knowledgeable and hard working instructors throughout my time here. Everyone is always willing to lend a hand if I ever need help. Brian and Liz do a excellent job making students feel welcome from day one of your program. I highly recommend Thrust flight to anyone that is looking to pursue a career in aviation.
