About Us

Flight Ready Aviation was formed in April of 2008 by two long time friends. What started  out as a flight lesson soon turned into a small business.  The flight instructor was Scott Sindelar who is currently a Captain with Southwest Airlines and has been flying for over 25 years and has logged over 17,000 hours.  The student was Nick Christakos who had no aviation experience but did have over 14 years of business management. They figured that between Scott’s aviation experience and Nick’s business experience and the fact that he was enduring the experience of being a student pilot that they would have the makings for a great business venture. Their business plan was to have a flight training facility with a club-like atmosphere where students, pilots and aviation enthusiast could come and hang out and talk shop about flying.  They feel that there is nothing better than for a student to be surrounded by pilots with real world experience who can answer questions which will keep their excitement level up during their training process.

Flight Ready Aviation’s goal is to offer a safe, fun, and affordable flight training experience. The entire staff has been personally selected and has a history together way before the opening of the company. We do not have any time builders on staff so we will progress you through your training in a timely manner.  We love the fact that we have staffed ourselves with personal friends and look to make our clients friends as well.  We keep it comfortable and fun so you will not see any uniforms in the office. However, you will see the shirttails of all of our clients who have completed their solo flight with us.  The bottom line is that we are having fun with it.  We guarantee that when you meet us, you will see what we mean.

Flight Ready Aviation's top priority is customer service. There is no hard sell going on here, just a focus on the customer. We take great pride in seeing our clients excel and are just as happy as they are over their achievements. We treat you the way that we want to be treated and will work around your schedule. We will stay within your capabilities to ensure that you are receiving the safest and best flight training possible. Our training goes way beyond the basic book knowledge and will cover real life scenarios that may be encountered when flying. We know that when it is time for your check ride, you will be ready to handle any situation that arises.

Finally we understand that during these tough economic times that finances are an issue.  We do everything in our power to keep it affordable which is why we do not have any hidden costs such as user fees or fuel surcharges.  Again, we are all about customer service which is why you pay as you go with no deposits required. Our goal is aviation camaraderie and we look forward to making you a part of the aviation community. Your next step is to go for an "Orientation Flight". Let Flight Ready Aviation help get your head in the clouds for just $75.00.  We will take you up for a 1 hour flight with you in the pilot's seat flying over the central Florida landscape. This is your first lesson and you will see exactly what to expect in your training. Come join the priviledged few who have truly experienced what aviation is all about.
