Isla Grande Flying School

at Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport

No dazzle but fine service with easy access to the plane on ramp and close by auto parking. Bought a reasonable amount of avgas for my 421. No fees.

The service from IGFS is great. The facilities are probably better than most flight schools in the Caribbean and probably some in the U.S. Mainland. They have an air-conditioned classroom area and also sell the Bose headsets, which are convenient since there are nowhere else you, can buy Bose headsets in the island that I am aware of. The aircraft fleet is good, your typical training aircraft fleet of Cessna 172s and 152s but the maintenance staff does a good job of keeping them airworthy. They recently purchased a G1000 c172, which I have not had the opportunity of flying. One thing to note though is that the rental prices are pretty high... Almost $180 an hour for a Cessna 172. If you own a jet maybe you might want to look for an FBO with a hangar but if you have a light aircraft, IGFS is superb.

I had a very good experience. The checkout was smooth, and they usually have planes available. The rental rates are reasonable. Will definitely recommend it to anyone interested in flying in Puerto Rico.

Very nice experience here while on vacation. Took one sightseeing flight in a nice 172SP, instructor was skilled and friendly. Days later took my biennial flight review with Daniel in a well worn C152. Highly recommned flying with Daniel for both pleasant professional instruction and lots of information on the local area. This is a fine flight operation with easy going folks at the counter too. Rates, as of 12/1, C172SP $175 dual, C152? $100 dual.

I had a good overall experience at IGFS during my recent visit to Puerto Rico. The 1-hour checkout ride with instructor Freddie Badillo went smoothly. I rented a new C172SP to do a little bit of sightseeing and fly to Saint Thomas. Everything went well, from the reservations made two-weeks ahead of time to the end of my trip. Thanks Carlos Reyes. I recommend IGFS without reservations.
