Cape Fear Aviation

Getting my PPL with them right now and it has been AMAZING and cost efficient. My instructor, Elayne Humphrey, has been the best I could've asked for! Could not recommend them more! If I could, I would give them 6 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Through PSI I found Cape Fear Aviation to take my part 107 exam. I drove from the north side of Fayettville (between Spring Lake and Sanford) to get to the airfield. I left early in order to give myself plenty of time. During the long drive I had time to think about the exam and my anticipation built more and more the whole way. When I arrived at the airfield my anxiety was at its peak. Dale came up to the truck and we started to chat. The conversation diverted my mind from the test and brought my anxiety down immensely. When I went inside I was met with a warm welcome from Cindy, thus elevating more of my stress. Then there was max the dog that was was a fun energetic but not overbearing, he a further distraction and removed more stress. With the relaxing, but professional atmosphere by the time I started the test I was almost completely relaxed. They had snacks and drinks readily available as well. My mind is that in which I’m easily distracted, but during the test the atmosphere was quiet and free of distractions.nThe kindness and professional atmosphere I’m sure translates into the cockpit. The stress of flying especially when you first start out makes flying that much more difficult. Having calm nerves and not having an instructor with an excitable voice allows the student to focus and not prone to over controlling the aircraft. If their calm demeanor they demonstrated is brought to the cockpit I’m sure they have amplitude of success and enjoyable flights for both the student and instructor. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone looking to fulfill their aviation needs and would take the trip daily just to have the privilege to be taught by them.

Great airport with family atmosphere. Very popular flight school with well maintained and equipped aircraft. It's an airport you feel good to just go hang out at even if you don't fly.

This is the 3rd flight school I've trained at and I gotta say... It is my favorite. The instructors are incredible, friendly and genuinely want to teach.

Easy airport to fly into my instructor is very knowledgeable. The airport is in the Fayetteville air space and ATC at Fayetteville approach is easy to work with .
