I couldn’t possibly say enough great things about this service Neil offers. I was given a very ambitious and short notice class date at a regional airline and still needed... read more to finish 150 hours of required flight time toward my ATP minimums. Any concerns I had along the way were dealt with promptly and professionally. Documentation was clean and concise and the entire process pain free. If you’re located in an area that doesn’t have many flying days in the winter and you’re close to your time- give Flight Time Building a call. After all, time is money!

I had their Piper warrior for about 11 days through Christmas and It was great. I couldn't find anyone else in FL that offers the kind of time building Neil... read more offers with his airplanes. i.e I kept the airplane in Naples, FL (KAPF), which is where i'm based and flew all over FL from there. You pretty much own the airplane and use it as you please. I had no mechanical issues at all and Neil was flexible and responding quickly to any concerns before and during the process. I strongly recommend this company.

Rented a plane out for a 75 hour block. This is the cheapest option that I found in the area. Neil is a delight to work with, fixed any and... read more all problems that came up with the plane; and helped with any questions that I had.
The operation of FTB is amazing, basically works like renting a car (ofcourse with extra steps), and you are even allowed to base the aircraft out of your home field. Highly recommend.

I did 100hrs of time building at this place and it was a great experience. When it comes to pricing, this is the best option that you’ll find in the... read more area. Neil was nice and very helpful with everything. He provides you with all the necessary information for your time building. No hidden fees or anything like other places. The airplane I flew was well maintained and had no mechanical problems. And even if a problem arises, Neil takes care of everything pretty quickly to make sure you’re good to go. I recommend this place and I would definitely come back again if needed.

This is the best option if you want to build flight time on a low budget! If I would like to fly a newer plane AND have the money or... read more like to spend it on the training.. there are other companies with newer airplanes, but the price will be double.. I can say that the owner is helpfully and responsible. The airplane I flew for many h was in a very good condition, not new, but safe to fly! The way to reach the goal.. be paid for flying, how a pilot should be, is very hard and costly.. so I would definitely rent again her!

I was planning on just 150 hours block and quickly turned into more than 350 hours cause i was happy with what i got, very happy with my choice to... read more rent planes here, if you are serious about building flight hours and not playing around - thats the place, the planes are in great mechanical condition and get taken care very often with maintenance and inspections, the owner is very experienced mechanic so he make sure you are good and safe to go every time he send you out, and if you have any issues he will fix it as quickly as possible so you wont waste your time, i wouldn't go anywhere else!
Flight Time BuildingI am working on becoming a commercial pilot in Europe, therefore I needed to... get more flight experience, fast and as cheap as possible. With all the landing fees and, of course, the biggest turn down „fuel prices“, the only reasonable option was to do my time building in the U.S. For me it was not the first time in Florida. I did my private pilots license in St. Augustine in January 2022. European people might feel overwhelmed by the fact they are in the states, probably for the first time and totally on their own but there is really no reason for that. Especially with a guy like Neil, who really cares for his customers and who’s number one priority is their wellbeing, there’s really nothing to fear. When I arrived, Neil did not hesitate to walk me through everything I needed to know and was happy to answer all my questions. Massey Ranch Airpark is a beautiful place to fly. It’s location is just a few miles off New Smyrna Beach and from there, in a very short period of time, you can visit a lot of beautiful places. Just a couple hours and you are flying along the Florida Keys and maybe even, with a little preparation, over to the Bahamas. The airport has a pretty long runway with fairly new asphalt that is in great condition. There was also a new lighting system installed not so long ago, so arriving at Massey at night is a very pleasant experience.Neils airplanes are great, but keep in mind I am saying that with their mission in mind. The planes, of course, are workhorses, thats what they are meant for, thats what they look like. Don’t expect a freshly repainted, full glass-cockpit Piper or Cessna. But who cares as long as the planes, technically speaking, are in good condition. And that’s where Neil really exceeded my expectations. I flew a Cessna 172, to be precise, it was a 1975 172M (N61972). For the price given, which must be the cheapest in the country, I was expecting a clapped out 172 that basically just does it’s job. What I got was a good equipped airplane with nice interior and a strong running, freshly rebuilt engine. Technically, everything was in working order and the GNS 530 was a nice add on for navigation or, not in my case, IFR flying. I also know that Neil is planning to upgrade his planes to a graphic engine monitoring so that will also be nice to have in the near future.All in all my plane was a joy to fly, Neil was always happy to help me with any problem there was and I could not have wished for a better experience.Thank you Neil!read more
Awesome experience!Neil was very helpful, supporting us in many occasions and almost all things... we needed to fly in US under FAA ( we are from Europe ).If available, Neil can provide you accommodation.The airplane was very well maintained, with a new engine, acceptable instruments and very good interiors.Hope to come back there soon.read more
Some time has elapsed since I was doing my flight time at Flight Time Building LLC (Edgewater,... USA). Thus, I think it is now time to share my personal experience.I flown 100 hours of cross country flights with the easy to operate, reliable and comfortable PA-28 Cherokee N702RA. An unforgettable trip that neither me nor my partner we will never forget it. We had the chance to discover and observe from the air more than 17 states of USA as well as landing in 27 different airports and airfields. The journey was short but very intensive. We were every day in a new place, deciding where to sleep always in a last minute.One of the nicest memories I keep in my mind were the VFR night flights, so common in USA airspace as the VFR day flights. You could see several lights from light traffics at night, as if the sky would be plenty of stars. On the other hand, I was amazed to use flight following, a dynamic way to be under control by ATCs.In a nutshell, a trip to remember forever. Thanks Neil, CEO of Flight Time Building, for your warm hospitality and for the on going support during the whole journey which helped us a lot to achieve our goals.Finally and based on first-hand experience, I would highly recommend Flight Time Building to rent an aircraft for your time building. One of the cheapest prices you will get in USA to fly as PIC, with well-maintained fleet as well as with fast and friendly customer service when you need them at any time of your adventure.See you soon at Flight Time Building,Adrián.read more
Dedicated service and great experience.I got to build there a few hundred hours and I am very... satisfied. The planes are well maintained, fair prices, very high availability (there is always someone to talk to), service above and beyond expectations and above all - fair! Unlike many other places I have flown, this is the only place that has sustain everything that promised and not tried to deceive me.read more
