Best Aircraft Rental Service Lowell Near Me

Mauro Benjamin Vacacela Pala: Could you help me with the information that if there is how to validate the BOLIVIAN commercial pilot's license to the FAA?

Batuhan Timurkaynak: I had a discovery flight there which nearly cancelled due to heavy winds. However, that day was my last day in US and besides that I came to Municipal from Newport. Hearing this, Tim (the owner) said we can fly although he warned me it is going to be bumpy and I might not be able to do the take off and landing which I can totally understand. However, he is so crazy and cool that I fly the plane through the entire flight inculiding take off and approach. At the beginning, I never thought that I will have the controls that much. It was beyond my expectations. After that flight, he also invited us to take a motorcycle ride. As a motorcycle enthusiast, being in that hangar was like a dream to me with all that Harley’s and a Piper Pa-28 standing there. We took the ride to somewhere I don’t know and I can say that me being in US for 4 months, it definetly is the best day I’ve ever had. Thanks Tim, Nick, and Eagle East Aviation ✌️

John Marchese: Tim was terrific. Nice people here.

Noah Hano: My family and I had an unexpected landing at Lawrence and had to pick one of several FBOs at the airport. Well, as luck would have it, we picked the right one. Tim (owner) and Petros (instructor) greeted us and made us feel right at home. Both went above and beyond to help out. You can't go wrong with Eagle East Aviation.

Davis Barrow: Absolutely top notch flight school! Terrific group.

James Rabideau: Excellent experience, today was my first time flying in a plane, and Tim is an awesome pilot. I would recommend flying here! I will be back to fly again thank you Tim for the awesome experience today!!!!!!

Do Bo: Awesome family run business with great staff and excellent flight training

Jacob Bower-Bir: A fantastic place to learn to fly. A great crew and patient teachers.

Moshe Aziz: I went on a scenic tour with Tim, I must say the man is the best pilot I've ever met, he has been every here and done it all (literally aside for being an exceptional aviation pilot he rides all vehicles including boats and motorcycle). If your looking to go on a plane ride Tim is your man!!

Chris Duane: Prices are higher than other schools, but there are always planes available and I have not run into any serious maintenance issues. When planes go in for maintenance, there are always replacements available. To me that was worth the extra price. Also they recently picked up some newer Piper Warrior III's, which shows continued investment.

brent wilson: After trying multiple flight schools who seemed like they couldn’t care less about perspective students, I finally called up East Coast Aero Club. I was in the same day to talk over my options with flight training. Fast forward four months and I have my private pilot certificate and am happily renting through them. If you want a flight school that actually provides quality customer service and is nothing but safety and student centered, give these guys a call!

Adam Heroux: Great flight school, highly recommend

Apurva Tripathi: It’s a great school with amazing people. Specially If you are an international student pilot (or want to be one ), they guide you all the way for the process. Plane rental prices is on a bit higher side but they put emphasis on maintenance and safety of the planes that justifies the cost.Any pilot on the east cost will recommend this school due to the good track record they have maintained.

Peter Geller: I worked at East Coast Aero Club last year and I currently rent from them. The entire operation runs like clockwork. Maintenance and dispatch work together to plan future maintenance which means renters and students always have a plane available. If there is ever any issue, dispatch is very quick to make adjustments to resolve the issue.The quality of instructors is also of note. ECAC has a strong team that work together to achieve the common goal of helping students succeed. If one instructor isn’t a fit, it’s easy to find another that does.As an employee and a renter, I am consistently satisfied with the quality and efficiency of this aero club.

AB Mercer: Professional flight training/aircraft kept up to standards. However-It is very clear ECAC has a misogynistic atmosphere, (particularly within management) making it a toxic environment for women.Also, the owner’s callous disregard for anyone but himself is not only strange but sad.Remember: if something feels off to you, it probably is.

Gustavo Herrera: I live 12 minutes away from Beverly Airport, where there are options for learning to fly. But I drive 35-50 minutes to East Coast Aero Club at Hanscom because of the quality of their instructors, the mint condition of the planes, and the transparency of maintenance (there is a board in the office where you can see the maintenance status of each plane), it's a bit pricier than other flight schools, but worth the money. You can learn in old Warrior IIs, or newer Cessnas 172 with the latest avionics. Highly recommended if you want to become a pilot in a safe and professional environment.

Mohammad Matin-Nejad: If you are looking to take flight classes on your own paste and book lessons but have a busy work schedule this place is the right place for you. This is one of the three ECAC locations in the state. The Bedford location is where I was able to take my flight lessons. ECAC is by far one of the best flight schools in the state with very reasonable pricing on rentals.The front desk staff are friendly, polite and helpful. They make you feel welcomed and always greet you with a smile.The schedule although at times can be busy with multiple students flying for the day, once you book your introductory class you can then book your flight lessons online as you wish; with however many hours you would like to book in a week. You can book flights until a month in advance which gives you plenty of time to plan your personal life around the lessons or the lessons around your personal life. The website is super simple and easy to use and is very straight forward.The instructors are all very skilled and experienced and know how to teach and make you feel comfortable with the plane. Once you start your solo flights other instructors look out for you and are always there as a resource if you need anything. As you take more classes you are expected to do more and more hands on while the instructor observe and goes a little less hands on to give you the skills you need to fly the plane. Justine and Sophie were the two instructors I flew with and both were knowledgeable, skilled and very friendly. They both made me feel comfortable learning from them and slowly progressing to my solo flights.The planes are very very very well maintained and although some are a little older, they perform amazingly, and that goes to show the good work of the maintenance department with this club. There is a very organized system for when there is any maintenance issues with the plane. Things get fixed and looked at right away.Overall I have nothing negative to say about this flight school and only all positive things. It takes a lot to be a pilot but this place makes you feel welcomed, comfortable, teaches you, gives you the skills, and makes you a damn good pilot.Highly recommend!!!

E Hazen: Great maintenance shop and flight school! I returned to flying several years ago after a long hiatus. I got a flight review from ECAC and flew their rental planes for several months, then with the able assistance of Mark (the owner) I purchased my own plane and base it at the field. I have all my maintenance done by ECAC and can't say enough about the service. They understand my preferences (airworthy but not necessarily shiny) and have helped me out in a pinch several times.I find both Mark (the owner) and Adam (head of maintenance) to be friendly, helpful and fair.

Jim Thames: Very well run FBO. In-house maintenance ensures all the aircraft are well-maintained and quickly back online. Wide variety of rental aircraft (high wings/low wing, steam/glass) and professional instructors to choose from. Busy class Delta given proximity to Boston, but what better way to be forced to master your radio work.

Nikhil Subedi: Nice and Clear Administration. Will be Starting my Fixed Wing Training Soon.

Alastair Bastian: Great flight school

Patrick Sweeney: Great instructors, short-sighted management.I spent probably close to $25,000 at ECAC finishing my commercial ticket, getting my tailwheel endorsement, taking aerobatic lessons and maintaining my aircraft. Some of the instructors like Marc Nathanson former Air Force instructor are among the best in the world.The owner Mark Holzworth, however is short sighted, difficult to deal with and lacks any fiber of empathy or understanding of his clients. I get the feeling he only cares about money. After all the time and money I spent there I would expect to be given the benefit of the doubt, but I wasn't. I had a problem with a credit card. I live overseas and when they tried to run it, it was locked for fraud reasons. I told ECAC I'd get back to them when I had things sorted. I was clear I would take care of it in the next couple of days. I was going to go fly the next day and found my online account suspended. Unreal. No phone call, no curiosity - just an a-hole maneuver over $300.I won't go back because I don't like dealing with people like him and I'm fearful he may treat his employees or suppliers even worse than he treats clients. Buyer beware.

Richard Sweeney: I am a 67 year old student pilot - ECAC instructors are excellent; knowledgeable, safe and patient - I recently soloed and plan to complete my Private Pilot License this summer....

Philip Greenspun: I learned to fly airplanes here in 2001 and 2002. Then I learned to fly helicopters here. Now I'm an instructor in both airplanes and helicopters. ECAC has been a wonderful community for me and I very much appreciate the maintenance staff that Mark Holzwarth has built up during the past 25+ years.

Natalie Braginsky: I received, as a gift, a Groupon for an introductory helicopter lesson which included an hour of ground instruction and about half an hour of flying with the instructor in a Robinson R44. I hadn't operated any type of aircraft before, and I had a great first experience here. My instructor was professional, competent, and friendly. The reading required to schedule my lesson definitely made the ground lesson easier to understand. The flight was the best part of the experience. It was very easy to feel the helicopter responding to the controls. The cyclic is very sensitive, like the instructor said ("no abrupt control inputs"). I'd love to continue learning here and I would definitely recommend ECAC to anyone interested in learning to fly.
