Flight Training in Tallahassee
“What I enjoyed most about training at Epic was the balance of efficiency and safety, along with the dedication of the instructors. My advice to incoming students is to prepare as much as you can before lessons and don’t hesitate to communicate with your instructors; they are always there to help. In the future, I hope to become an airline pilot and fly alongside my dad, who is a pilot for American Airlines!”– Lauren Shtogrin, Epic Tallahassee Flight Student
Lauren earned her PPL, IR, CSEL, CFI, and CFII at Epic’s Tallahassee campus in just one year while also attending FSU. Lauren is an excellent pilot and now works as an Epic flight instructor!
