I received training of IFR rating at the school. All airplanes here are clean and well maintained so that you can fly with comfortable and reliable. Also there are so many wonderful instructors in the school. I trained with Mike and he was kind patient and attractive person to fly with. IFR training was hard for me but thanks to Mike I succeeded with minimum hours. Adding to these, Lou DuBois, president of the school, is very nice guy and has plentiful of passion for introducing joy of flying to students. I recommend the school with confidence.

In my initial contact with Dubois Aviation I immediately felt at home. I first met Lou Dubois and I was introduced to Pam Dubois and flight instructors at the facility that morning. My time was initially in a Cherokee 140 with Lance and I later switched to a Cessna 150 with Mike. Their aeronautical knowledge, flight experience and teaching were inspiring. I appreciated finishing my training with Mike and the professionalism he brought to each lesson. He is a remarkable instructor who was able to demonstrate what I believed were difficult flight maneuvers and skills in such a manner that I could say, "I can do that." In my opinion, that is the hallmark of a great teacher. The other instructors were also impressive. Lou and Pam Dubois provided a learning environment that far exceeded my expectations and were genuine in every possible manner in providing the highest quality of training. At 60 years old I received my Private Pilot's License. Not bad at all.

I have had an excellent experience with DuBois Aviation. The airplanes are very well maintained and the rates are the lowest around. The online scheduling is easy and efficient and the Staff/CFI's are very friendly and strive to help you reach your aviation goals. I recently passed my Private Pilot check-ride and I couldn't be happier. I plan to do my instrument rating with DuBois Aviation.

I had visited a couple flight schools in the area when choosing a school to get my IFR rating and DuBois Aviation best fit what I was looking for. It’s a great atmosphere to learn to gain both the skills and the confidence required to fly safely while enjoying the experience as well! All the aircraft are meticulously maintained with no INOP equipment! The staff and all the instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, will answer all your questions and Lou is a wealth of information! Great School!

I couldn't have asked for a better environment to learn how to fly! Since the day I got to DuBois Aviation I felt like I was within family... Although I didn't get to meet Pam (she was out of town) and my stay there wasn't that long, I felt really comfortable with all the instructors, Lou and Ana! The way they keep their airplanes is the best I've seen as well! I knew that what I wanted to do wasn't easy: Get my Instrument rating (I was already a private pilot), commercial license and the multi-engine add on in just a couple of months. Well, thanks to Mike, Trey, Lou and Ana I was able to do everything I needed to get back home in as little time as possible getting the best training I could imagine! It has been a wonderful experience, thank you DuBois Aviation for helping me as you did!

As an experienced private pilot from South Africa and recently anointed PROUD USA citizen the FAA required that I retake my private pilot theory and practical test. Lou DuBois became my instructor and my friend, in his confident professional way Lou taught me to fly all over again the USA way. All the staff at DuBois Aviation are kind considerate and professional, their equipment is very well maintained and reasonably priced. I will be doing my Instrument Rating with DuBois Aviation and I would have no hesitation in recommending DuBois Aviation to you, my closest friends and family.

I did my instrument rating at DuBois Aviation and it was a great experience. Lou was my instructor and made it very easy to grasp concepts that did not come naturally to me. He is very knowledgeable, pushed me, and provided an environment that was easy to learn in. Pam is the biggest sweetheart and worked with my schedule and me. As with most pilots I was on a budget and the airplanes are very reasonably priced, and very well maintained which was a major plus. I plan to do my commercial and addition ratings with DuBois Aviation. Thanks guys!

Dubois Aviation is an outstanding facility and just the type of atmosphere associated with the good old days of aviation. The staff and instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, and promote an enjoyable learning experience. For most people, personal enjoyment is the reason we start flight training and the folks at Dubois work hard at making it a low stress and fun experience. The aircraft are well maintained, clean, reasonably equipped, and very price competitive. There maybe a cheaper operation out there, but I doubt it would be worth it. Chino is an excellent place to learn to fly - control tower but not too busy, plenty of runway to accommodate winds and technique, lots of really cool airplane to see, a great restaurant, and an excellent flight school in Dubois.

I recently completed my private with Dubois, and I cannot agree more with the other comments I have read here. My only complaint is that I didn't find them sooner. I will continue to fly with Dubois and when I do pursue another rating I will not go anywhere else. Lou, Pam, and their crew are the best. I did my homework, shopped around, and nobody else came close.

I can't say enough great things about DuBois Aviation. All the instructors are friendly out going individuals that are more then happy to go out of their way for their students to make sure they are more then prepared for their checkrides and become safe and competent pilots. I recently passed my CFI initial checkride at DuBois. The flight instructors were knowledgeable and aircraft are maintained to a high standard. Office staff were very accommodating with the tight schedule that I was under and able to achieve my deadline goals. Thanks again to DuBois aviation and all the help and guidance you have given me over the past several years, I could not have done it with you guys!

To the folks at Dubois Aviation, I want to express my sincere appreciation for providing me with the personal care and attention that helped me obtain my Private Pilot's Certificate in July 2010. I was impressed by the expert instruction I received during my training. Lou and Pam worked hard at accommodating my busy schedule. The CFI's made flying fun for me to learn. I will recommend anyone interested in flying lessons to check out Dubois Aviation.

I selected DuBois Aviation after researching and visiting several area flight schools, and never gave my decision a second thought. Six months later, I received my private pilot certificate, all thanks to Trey, Lou, Lance, Pam, and Anna. Trey is a great instructor and an amazing pilot; Lou is an absolute wealth of aviation information; with those two instructing and guiding you, you will be more than prepared for the written tests & check ride. Lance, Pam, and Anna were always supportive, encouraging, and had time for my questions or conversation. There was always an instructor and/or airplane to fit my constantly changing schedule. You won't find a more honest, direct, friendly, and professional flight school. Check out their website...Everything you see and read is the absolute truth. I have, and will continue to recommend DuBois Aviation to my friends, family, and anyone interested in flying.

Phenomenal!!! Prior to finding Dubois Aviation I was a student at Sunrise and Ballard. I wish I had found Lou, Pam, and Trey first! They are all exceptional to work with. Lou runs a great school with a super friendly environment and exceptional aircraft. Trey made my transition smooth, quick, and easy. There aren't enough stars to describe! Thanks!!!

Dubois Aviation was a life changing experience. I always wanted to get my private but never had the correct guidance or tools. I met Lou and Pam Dubois and signed up. It was a fantastic, challenging, life changing experience. I’m now 37 and wish I would have known about them years ago! I couldn’t have done it without there guidance, patience, and friendship. They are outstanding teachers with great equipment. The environment is a relaxed family style that made learning fun. I gained the experience and made some great new friends. My family and I are currently out burning holes in the sky thanks to Dubois! Instrument rating soon....

Dubois Aviation helped me achieve a long time goal of becoming a private pilot. They were very flexible with my schedule even when I had last minute conflicts. They had very knowledgeable CFIs who could not only fly well but also teach well. I will definitely be coming back to Dubois Aviation for my instrument rating. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to learn to fly or obtaining further ratings!

I'd recommend Dubois to any prospective students or even pilots ready to add a rating or get current again. Lou and Pam Dubois run a clean organization. They have spotless aircraft, classrooms and hangar. They love aviation and will work to be sure you achieve your goal. The instructors are knowledgeable and personable - the whole place is fun to be around.

Lou, Pam and the staff at Dubois Aviation have helped me achieve something that I have wanted to do all my life. The instruction was safe, challenging, professional, and most of all, fun. The family atmosphere makes everyone at ease. I am planning to get IFR training soon and would recommend Dubois Aviation to anyone interested in the experience of their life.

I started my training a little under a year ago and just received my Private Pilot's Certificate on January 31, 2010. Wow what can I say about Lou & Pam at Dubois Aviation? Great folks. Just overall great hospitality. Very very nice people. It's a family operated business which is awesome. The aircraft are always well maintained and in safe condition. I would highly recommend anyone looking to get into GA to Lou & Pam. I will start my instrument training with them in the next few months. Great folks!

On February 01, 2010, I received my private pilot's license after being trained at Du Bois Aviation at Chino Airport. I am very pleased with my experience at Du Bois. It is a family operated business that provides expert training in well maintained aircraft at a very competitive rate. With safety being their top priority, I would and have recommended my family and friends to fly with Du Bois Aviation.

I started my training with Lou and Pam a year ago, from that time to now I had my private and instrument rating done and almost ready for the Commercial. Lou and Pam, there is no words. Great people, always interested in your questions and always making sure you go forward and get your goals. The way they teach makes aviation a lot simple and clear to understand, and wend you realize that...you are already a Pilot. Thank You Lou and Pam for helping me with my goals.

I achieved my CFI rating at DuBois Aviation (KCNO) after a year hiatus from flying. My instructor, Trey, mentored me up to proficiency providing extensive ground and flight training in an efficient manner. With the help of the other instructors (Lance and Lou), I gained additional training outside of my course work. Pam, in administration, was completely accommodating and willing to work under constraints to ensure I met my goal within my short time frame (she made things happen and really looked after the students). The aircraft are always hangared and attended and the facilities are well suited for learning. The school is family operated which is also passed onto their students and staff thus ensuring you are receiving quality education in a nurtured environment - which is rare. Mahalo to Trey, Lance, Pam and Lou, and the students that allowed me to shadow their progression. All have made my CFI training at DuBois fun in a very professional manner. Aloha.

I did my instrument training at Dubois Aviation and passed the checkride. Lou made everything seem so simple, and after being so confused at my last flight school, Lou made it easy to grasp. I love this place!! You never have to worry about not having a plane, they're all in hangers and are very well maintained and CLEAN. All the instructors are very cool and professional. If they have some down time and you have a question, they will definitely try to help you out, even if it's not the instructor you're working with. Pam is also a very nice lady. She works hard in the office and does the scheduling. She will do whatever it takes to make sure you're happy and there are no problems. It is a very professional and fun place to be.

Lou and his people are first rate. More than anything, they care about the student. Other students that I talked to were happy to be there. Several, including me, had started elsewhere. I went to finish my CFI cert and the focus was both to help me be a good CFI and pass the Checkride, which I did on the first try. Thanks to everyone at DuBois.

I first visited DuBois Aviation back in April to try their demo flight to see if I would enjoy being a pilot. I was a bit nervous, but had always been fascinated by airplanes and flight. As soon as I entered the hangar, I knew I was in for a good experience. All of the airplanes are in perfect condition, clean and well maintained. Then as I entered the office, I was politely greeted and I immediately felt comfortable being there. Having no prior aviation experience, I was intimidated and nervous about flying, but after my demo flight with Trey, I knew that being a pilot was what I wanted to do. I began training with Trey in May, and 10 hours later, I was already soloing the airplane, and at 40 hours, I received my private pilot rating. Trey is a great instructor. He made me feel comfortable in the airplane, and gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. Trey and Lou have a lot of experience and insight to share. Thank you DuBois Aviation for making my dream a reality.

I visited many flight schools before deciding to begin training at Dubois. Lou was very energetic and got me excited about learning to fly. I began my training with Trey and we developed a good relationship, he has a casual approach to teaching that is not intimidating and he is very knowledgeable and experienced. I completed my private pilot in 48 hours. Thanks Trey and Lou!

I had two other instructors since I started flying and I only went with them once each. I've been training with Lou since I was 13 and he is an amazing teacher! I finished my Private Pilots License with him in May and starting my Instrument and would not go with any other instructor! Lou is a great instructor to learn from.

Came to DuBois Aviation to finish up my instrument rating after having tried the other schools on the field. Lou is great and provides an easy-going but no-nonsense style that made finishing up my rating much easier. The aircraft are well cared for and it shows (I've been flying the Mooney). Looking forward to getting my commercial certificate with them.
