Arrived in a King Air for a fast turn. Line crew chased me down to confirm the fuel order. Way better then getting it wrong. Thanks.

I have just completed a short aerobatics course with Larry in Chandler Air Service’s marvelous Great Lakes trainers. I found the course highly enjoyable and learned a lot in a short time. Everyone was very friendly and helpfully. Highly recommended and great value too.

We had great service from the folks at Chandler Air Service this past weekend. Audrey got our car rental arranged in advance, and we were greeted and escorted by real friendly folks on arrival and departure. The pilot shop offers a variety of supplies. The lobby/lounge is nothing fancy, but clean restrooms always impress my wife. Fuel purchase (full or self-serve) makes for waiver of one night's tie-down fee ($9.00). We look forward to returning to Chandler on our next visit to the Phoenix area.

I am very happy with Chandler Air Service. I recently finished my private license in August. My dad got his license from them in 1983. The instructors were great. I worked with both Larry and Jason. Both were professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. I continue to rent aircraft from them as I build time. I would recommend learning to fly there to anyone. I look forward to starting my instrument in 2011 with them.

Opinion hasn't changed one bit. They are an excellent group. Did my flight training with them and they are professional and really prepared me well. As an aircraft owner for the last year or so, they have found many things that were not found by prior mechanics. While I wasn't excited about these things they are thorough and have been fair in the billing.

While I was waiting to speak with an instructor about renting an airplane, an angry man entered the FBO and picked up a copy of the FAR. After a few minutes, he slammed the book closed, uttered a profanity and began walking out to the flight line. The dispatcher asked him what was wrong. He said the Chandler instructors had been given his son too much dual country flying and not enough solo country so he was short hours for a check ride. He said, "These flight schools are out to get as much money as they can. They stick it to you." If that's typical of Chandler instructors, I say stay away from Chandler Air Service for flying lessons, or make them stick to the lesson plan. Response from John Walkup, Chandler Air Service
The previous posting from Mr. Eiland brought concern to our facility. We researched all dispatchers and instructors and found no such experience. No private students were in the stage of training mentioned. We do all our flight tests in house and no private applicant has been trained and tested by us that would fall into this scenario. Students are interviewed and kept up on progress of training. We have been here for 31 years. There is one "free lance" flight school and several independents at the airport and other examiners giving flight test. We can only conclude the references are to a free lance "Chandler Instructor" and another examiner. We hear quite often about the lack of a training syllabus and abuses pilots have received with hours received. We are very strict with our flight training programs and rental policies. We are very proud of our pilots and invite Mr. Eiland to return to our facility and help us find out the details of us comments. John Walkup Chandler Air Service

Stopped at Chandler Air Service for lunch, and asked for a weak battery to be charged. Not only was the service provided professional and prompt... The folks who helped me refused payment. That, folks, qualifies as "Above And Beyond" any reasonable expectation in MY book. While my battery charged, I enjoyed lunch at the Hangar Cafe... And have added this to my list of GREAT places to visit. Thanks, guys!

Moved to the Phoenix area in 2009 and was searching for someone to do my annual on my Grumman Cheetah. Nothing spectacularly different about a Grumman, but there are some differences. Set it up with Rick Wills (maintenance manager) to have them do it. I travel extensively so they could have the plane for as long as needed. I was very happy with the end result. They followed the maintenance manual to the letter and did all of the things that should get done and I felt that the price was very reasonable. I believe there were 2 mechanics that worked on my plane and the attention to detail was great. Clean engine, repainted items under the hood and adjusted a bunch of little things that I did not even have to ask for. I will continue to use Rick and his crew. They are friendly and provide solid service and are always willing to answer my questions.

I stopped by Chandler as I was ferrying an SR-20. Josh met me at my plane and was VERY helpful. Great service and friendly atmosphere, Chandler Air Service has been added to my list of "Places to stop at" on my cross-country flights!

I agree with prior comments. Moving transient operations over to Chandler Air Service was the best thing they ever did. Chandler Air Service was very helpful when my engine would not turn over even with a jump. The mechanics pulled it to the shop, open the cowl and found a loose wire on the starter solenoid. They tighten it up put the cowl back on and would not take any money. Great people.

Thanks to all at Chandler Air for getting me back into the left seat. Special thanks to Matt Lehti--one of the best flight instructors I have ever had the pleasure to fly with. I have learned over the years that most instructors are good at "flying" the plane but few excel at "teaching to fly" the plane. Matt is a great teacher and that's what counts. Thanks again Chandler Air!

I have been stopping here for several years and the City has finally let Chandler Air Service take over the FBO operations. What a difference from the "could not care less" attitude of the city operation. Someone actually met me at the plane, showed me where to park, offered a ride and asked if I need any help. Thanks Chandler Air Service for the first real FBO type service I have received at this airport in 10 years.

Self service surprises. Of course the first order is ground the aircraft. After looking and searching for someone to ask, I found the grounding clamp inside a cabinet, which looks like it is locked. Next surprise was a manual pump on switch after fuel did not flow and encoder looked like it wanted another transaction also watch the birds. Upon landing encountered a flock 100+ small birds departing their rest/nest north side the 4L runway. Fortunately no visible strikes.
