Client Testimonials

  • Private Pilot Checkride

    I just finished up my PPL with Lively and they were some amazing folks to work with. Jeff and Josh go above and beyond, were always accommodating and provided mentorship throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants to learn to fly. -Kyle

  • Instrument Checkride

    Lively Aviation was key to me passing my instrument rating! I couldn't have done it without them. They are professional and very dedicated to their work and the safety of the aircraft. Jeff Lively is super friendly and enthusiastic about all aspects of aviation. My CFII Josh Scrivner is a great dude with an excellent attention to detail. They are phenomenal instructors both on the ground and in the sky that want their students to succeed!

  • Private Pilot Checkride

    Lively Aviation has truly been such a blessing in my life. From the very beginning, the team made me feel supported and encouraged.
    Jeff is wonderful, and it’s clear how much heart he’s poured into this school. All of the CFIs are incredibly helpful and genuinely want to see their students succeed.
    My CFI, Drew Dawson, has been an absolute rock throughout my training — patient, steady, and always believing in me.
    I couldn’t be more grateful for this team and the role they played in helping me earn my PPL. I plan to do all of my training with Lively Aviation and highly recommend anyone interested in aviation to book a discovery flight and meet this amazing group of people you won’t regret it! -Madison
