点评:I had a very good experience with Maui Aviators (MA) and highly recommend them.
I am a non-current Private Pilot and am pursuing renewing my license. My wife and I were visiting Maui and I thought I'd get some "dual time" and see Maui from the air. MA provided a very good pilot/instructor (Lewis) who gave me exactly what I wanted - to do most of the flying, get instruction and help where needed and provide some input on sightseeing. Lewis was very thorough, efficient, professional and humorous. The day we were there Maui had pretty high winds (gusts to 30+ mph). Lewis helped us work out a flight plan that minimized the turbulence (my wife was apprehensive about flying in a small plane (172)), yet perform basic maneuvers (for my benefit) and see sights. I was a bit apprehensive as I haven't flown in several decades, but through discussion and preflight procedure, Lewis gave me the confidence to do almost all of the taxiing, takeoff, flying and most of the approach. He did assist in handling the gusting, slight crosswind in landing. In the end, I gained confidence to proceed with renewing my license and my wife wound up enjoying it and thinking it was one of the best things we did on Maui.
Again, I highly recommend MA for anyone who wants to do any flying and/or get flight instruction from Maui.

我目前持有私人飞行员执照,但已过期,正在办理续期手续。我和妻子去毛伊岛度假,我想积累一些“双人飞行时间”,并从空中俯瞰毛伊岛。MA 为我安排了一位非常优秀的飞行员兼教练(Lewis),他完全满足了我的需求——主要负责飞行,并在需要时提供指导和帮助,以及一些观光建议。Lewis 非常细致、高效、专业,而且幽默风趣。我们去的那天,毛伊岛风很大(阵风超过 30 英里/小时)。Lewis 帮我们制定了一个飞行计划,最大限度地减少了湍流(我妻子对乘坐小型飞机(172)有些担心),同时又能进行一些基本飞行操作(让我学习飞行技巧)并欣赏沿途风景。由于我已经几十年没飞了,所以一开始有点忐忑。但通过讨论和飞行前程序讲解,路易斯让我信心倍增,几乎完成了所有的滑行、起飞、飞行以及大部分的进近。他还协助我应对着陆时阵风和轻微的侧风。最终,我获得了足够的信心去更新我的飞行执照,而我的妻子也乐在其中,认为这是我们在毛伊岛做的最棒的事情之一。
再次强调,我强烈推荐毛伊岛的飞行学校(MA)给所有想在毛伊岛飞行或接受飞行指导的人。
