Become A Pilot
"I met Sherman Gardner through a mutual friend 5 years ago when he started In The Pattern. Throughout the time I have known him, I have admired the business he has built and the service it is to our aviation community. It is no surprise that ITP has been voted the Best Flight School in the country for the past 2 years. I highly recommend you check them out for your flight training needs!"
"In The Pattern is such an amazing family owned flight school. I received my Private Pilot through the school and now going through instrument training. There is such a warm feeling from the first interaction with Sherman and Darren (owners) to the flight instructors and mechanics. They have a wide variety of planes to fit every budget and aviation dream. Come visit In The Pattern and join the family!"
"I completed my multi engine rating through In The Pattern and had an amazing experience. The owner, Sherman, was very friendly, helpful, and made sure I had everything I needed to succeed. My instructor, Andrew, went above and beyond to ensure my training was completed smoothly. Every employee at the school was welcoming and they create a family environment you don’t see at many places nowadays. As a CFI myself I know from experience and I can say without a doubt ITP is the best flight school I’ve flown with! Thanks again y’all!"
"In The Pattern is more a family than a just a flight school. It is a team of dedicated professionals that will bring out the best of their students. A national award winner in the industry, this school brings the beauty of very friendly environment, persistent quality of training, and passion for imparting hands on learning. The school will work with you closely to address your needs - whether you are a young individual aspiring to succeed as a professional pilot, or want to pursue your passion for flying while having a super busy demanding career outside of aviation. I would strongly recommend ITP for all your flight training needs - FIVE STAR rating all the way!"
"After hearing about ITP and checking out the school it seemed too good to be true. Their own maintenance department, friendly/knowledgeable staff, and a number of planes to work with! I knew this school was the one for me when I left feeling like I was already at home. It feels like the owner genuinely cares about his students and staff which speaks volumes for me. I’m enjoying every step of this process with ITP, and wouldn’t have it any other way! Thank you to everyone at ITP. Y’all are the best!"
"I was searching for a flight school in the DFW area with good airplanes and talented flight instructors. I found both at ITP, but that’s not all. What I found was a community that welcomed a complete stranger from the first day I set foot in the hangar. The owner, Sherman Gardner, called me after my first lesson just to make sure everything went ok and ask for feedback. WHAT!? Amazing! That’s putting your customers first. After a couple weeks of training at ITP I realized I found something else: FAMILY. Everyone from the students, mechanics, and instructors are top shelf. I feel right at home when I walk in to the ITP space. There is truly something special going on over there. Don’t take my word for it, go see for yourself."
