Berichi Aviation - Fort Lauderdale, FL

I highly recommend Berichi Aviation. I flew cross country from Florida to California with Chief Flight Instructor Charlie Berichi, it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Flying over the mountains, Channel Islands, and San Joaquin Valley was a truly unique experience. Instructor Berichi is experienced, highly skilled, and his commitment to safety is exceptional. Berichi Aviation is without a doubt the best flight school, the facility and fleet are incomparable and the staff is very professional and knowledgeable.

My daughter recently had a discovery flight at Berichi Aviation in their Cirrus SR22 Turbo, and I couldn’t be more impressed. We’ve done a handful of discovery flights at other schools, but the experience here stood out as exceptional. The aircraft was beautiful, and I had the chance to sit in the back and observe the entire flight, which was an incredible experience in itself.

Chief Pilot Charlie Berichi was not only professional but also very attentive to my daughter’s needs. He took the time to understand where she was in her learning journey, and his patient, calm approach made her feel confident in the air. Although she’s still new to flying and has only had a couple of discovery flights, the instructor’s expertise and guidance gave us the assurance we’ve been looking for in a flight school.

After searching for the right place to continue her training, we’re confident we’ve found the best school in the United States. The enrollment process was smooth, and I’m excited to say my daughter will be starting her private pilot training here soon. I highly recommend Berichi Aviation for anyone serious about learning to fly. The team is professional, polite, and truly top-notch.

Had such a great experience flying with Charlie Berichi in his Cirrus Vision Jet around San Francisco Bay with a beautiful sunset as the back drop. His calm demeanor and obvious competence at his craft immediately put me at ease. From takeoff to landing, the whole experience was informative, instructive, and engaging. What a blast! If you are looking for flight instruction, or if you just want to dip your toe in the water, I highly recommend Berichi Aviation. Thank you so much Charlie for a great flight!

My Pilatus (PC12NGX) Instructor, Chief Flight Instructor Charlie Berichi successfully finished my 10-day MULTI ENGINE Program and Instrument Rating Airplane training in my Diamond DA62. Charlie Berichi has the most dual instruction given hours in the DA62 and the most sign offs on IACRA in the WORLD. He is the DA62 expert and was featured in the Diamond Aircraft Documentary for the training component. He has also trained the most DA62 Flight Instructors in the world and was the first flight school in the world to purchase, own, and operate a DA62 solely for pilot training (see the diamond aircraft documentary on the DA62 on this).

Currently, he is providing ALL of my mentorship flying in my brand new PC12 NGX. I wholeheartedly endorse Chief Pilot Charlie Berichi for specialized courses for jets and turbo props (I also completed a Vision Jet Training Flight with Charlie Berichi). His initial and recurrent courses for piston and turbo prop classes are insurance approved! He’s been to so many schools and is even a Criminal Justice Professor in Miami! His dedication and innovative teaching methods guarantee comprehensive learning for all students, transforming all students that stick with the program into skilled experts in ANY aircraft. With a focus on results, you will successfully complete his course as a competent, safe, and proficient pilot, passing all your Checkrides with flying colors!

I was in Florida for a business trip and decided to treat myself to a unique experience a discovery flight over Miami with Berichi Aviation. After hearing about them from one of my friends, I booked a flight on the Cirrus Vision Jet with Chief Instructor Mr. Berichi, and it was truly unforgettable. I’ve flown in many different planes around the world, but the Vision Jet was on another level. Mr. Berichi made sure every moment was perfect, and seeing Miami from the sky was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I highly recommend Berichi Aviation for anyone looking for an exceptional and memorable flying adventure.

I had a fantastic formation flying lesson today with Chief Flight Instructor Charlie Berichi. Check out the photos below. Berichi has the BEST equipment in Florida and he is so fun to learn from! I also observed his GOLD SEAL on his flight instructor certificate which is a prestigious honor for teaching excellence awarded only by the FAA for high pass rates on first attempts for all his students on practical tests. I’ve been in aviation for over 25 years and commend Berichi’s level of professionalism and toughness, which provides well disciplined Tier 1 professional pilots.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to fly with Chief Flight Instructor Charlie Berichi on a breathtaking trip from Miami to Key West in his stunning Bell 407 GXI! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.

The booking process was seamless, and the staff were incredibly professional and welcoming. Charlie Berichi was not only skilled but also provided insightful commentary about the stunning views along the way. The helicopter itself was immaculate, offering a smooth and luxurious ride over the beautiful Florida coastline.

Flying in the Bell 407 GXI felt like a dream! The spacious interior, comfortable seating, and panoramic windows made for an unforgettable experience. The views of the turquoise waters and beautiful islands were simply breathtaking.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend Berichi Aviation for your next helicopter tour. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a thrilling sightseeing trip, or a unique way to celebrate a special occasion, this company delivers an unparalleled experience.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see the stunning Florida Keys from above in a brand new helicopter.
