I’ve been waiting to write this review for quite some time because it wouldn’t do justice without a career outcome. The fundamental foundation that E&M Aviation Services provided me as an aviator has been absolutely key to my success. After moving from Sierra Vista, I continued to fly every chance I had, which ultimately led to me being selected for flight school through a highly competitive board. I can confidently say that the instruction, mentorship, and professional environment at E&M set me apart and prepared me for the next level in my aviation career.

We live in Pennsylvania - my 14yo son was out visiting my parents who live close to SV. He takes flying lessons here in PA, so we started looking for somewhere he could take a flying lesson in AZ. The first number I called on google was Ruben. All I have to say is WOW! Ruben goes above and beyond! He is super knowledgeable and so polite! He made sure my son had such a fun time, but also helped to continue his flight instruction, safety procedures, log book, etc. My son loved it so much, he ended up taking multiple lessons with Ruben and will be taking future lessons with him. If you are looking for just a one time discovery flight, more experienced flight lessons, or anything in-between - Ruben is your guy!

E&M Aviation services is one of if not the most professional flight schools in the United States. Ruben is an incredibly knowledgeable and well seasoned aviator who maintains the highest standards of aviation safety and excellence. Each lesson is well planned and structured to optimize your chances of success with whatever aviation goals you are pursuing. Despite being an active duty service member, I appreciated Ruben's dedication to maximizing my training and tailoring his schedule to helping me achieve my goals. Whether you are seeking your first discovery flight or continuing your aviation education, you can rest assured that you will accomplish your goals and leave E&M Aviation Services with a deep sense of respect for aviation, safety, and many lifelong lessons that you will think about for the rest of your aviation journey.

I was down in Sierra Vista visiting my dad and am a private pilot and wanted to fly, so I gave E&M Aviation Services a call. From the very beginning, Ruben was extremely helpful and communicated effectively. It was my first time looking into getting checked out to rent a plane, and Ruben walked me through step-by-step. He was an incredible teacher! He taught me many new things due to his dense history flying and instructing. I would recommend E&M to anyone and will definitely fly with Ruben again when I’m in the area.

I booked a discovery flight with Ruben, he was very friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommend his business if you’re in the market for flight training or just want a tour of the local area from a new perspective.
