Just wanted to take a moment and comment on the exceptional experience I had over the last couple of weeks with Keilidh!

I can’t imagine what kind of holiday season this was for Keilidh – dealing with issues with tail number, to losing the #2 Alt enroute home for the holidays, to dealing with some very challenging weather and ever changing plans. Remaining flexible, steadfast and professional through these events, Keilidh did an amazing job finding creative ways to make sure the training got done. I most enjoyed how on top of communication she remained, never calling without having thorough updates, options and recommendations.

High winds kept us pinned down in Atlantic City trying to get home – and I really appreciate her perseverance and always wonderful and customer centric attitude. Keilidh made purchasing and training in the Cirrus a remarkable and unforgettable experience. Needless to say, Keilidh represented Independence Aviation very well, even in what most would consider, very challenging and unrelenting circumstances.

I came to Independence Aviation (IA) as an instrument rated pilot two years ago and began training on the Cirrus platforms. I was trained on the SR20 and SR22T platforms and eventually also gained my Commercial ticket via the IA instructors.

From a safety perspective, the parachute and the redundancy built into Cirrus has become a requirement for me and my family. Knowing this exists, how could I fly my family in anything else?

IA has the best (only?) training and rental fleet in Colorado with the latest models that are meticulously maintained. Their equipment, training methods and instructors are all top notch and Cirrus certified. The Cirrus Approach online training courses and videos are clearly the best in the industry. The Cirrus company, online training, hands on training with highly qualified partners like IA, and support for Cirrus owners and renters, is all one well crafted ecosystem. I haven’t seen this from any other manufacturer.

I’m sold on IA and Cirrus to keep me and my family flying high, fast and SAFE for many years to come.

The team at Independence Aviation is phenomenal. Not only do they provide some of the best equipment that you will ever rent or possibly own, but they also provide white glove service to their members. Book your flight and they will have the plane waiting for you to preflight in a hangar, with all the fuel, fluids and O2 topped. Enjoy your flight and then park, drop off the key and walk away. It doesn’t get simpler than that. Their aircraft specific simulators will aid to keep you current and cockpit familiar and their focus on safety, currency and training will make you confident that you can fly in Colorado and beyond. I am so happy that I did my transition training through Independence Aviation and now enjoy their beautiful planes and their terrific people who make it such a pleasure to fly.

I’ve been curious about flying for years and the discovery flight was such a great introduction. Sydney was a fantastic instructor/pilot and really made sure I was completely comfortable with what we were doing. It was such a comprehensive/immersive experience. Just being in the front seat for the first time took some getting used to, but Sydney made it feel so routine! I could not have had a better introduction and can’t wait to continue my education with Independence.

Independence Aviation is a topnotch organization. I have flown with several of their instructor pilots over the years and each has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, instructional ability and aircraft knowledge. Their Cirrus aircraft fleet is first rate, mostly G6 models but also with some new G7 models. I’m currently training at their Rocky Mountain Metro (KBJC). The location is very convenient for anyone on the northern side of Denver. The office staff has been very helpful with any scheduling issues that I’ve encountered. If you’re interested in obtaining a pilots license or want to upgrade to a high performance single, I would highly recommend contacting them.

As a Texan, flying in the mountains was a new experience for me. Thus I was looking to take a Mountain Flying Course in my Cirrus SR22T before venturing out Solo. Reached out to Independence Aviation at BJC and was paired up with Kelsey for three days of intensive flying, hitting some buck list airports for me. I’ve flown with a lot of Cirrus Instructors over the years and Kelsey was great….knowledgable about both the plane and the local terrain and procedures. She also provided me with a ton of references that I now have to enhance the mountain flying experience. Their facility was great as well. Would highly recommend!

IA and Sidney are doing a great job with my Cirrus Flight Instruction. The Cirrus Approach method is outstanding! The whole program is complete and well organized. I never have to wonder what I should be reading/studying next resulting in very little wasted flight time.

Independence is extremely professional and everyone there is really nice! I really enjoyed learning with Sidney Goodrich and found the planes to be safe and well cared for.
