GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
Three Wing Flight School is the training arm of Three Wing Aviation at Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Stratford. The official website describes Part 61 instruction with an individual schedule and one-to-one teaching. Discovery flights introduce new students to airplane flying, while the broader flight-school offering includes training for pilots continuing beyond their first lessons. An advanced aviation training device is among the resources advertised for ground-based practice.
Three Wing also operates a flying club and an airport-services business with maintenance and avionics capabilities. For a prospective student, that combination provides several topics to explore during a visit: how training aircraft are scheduled, whether club membership is required and what rental opportunities follow certification. The public website does not establish a specific completion date or a guaranteed instructor assignment. Before enrolling, ask for a course outline and written estimate for the intended certificate or rating, including how simulator sessions are used and charged.

Published training options.
The school’s published options are summarized below. Each note explains the training type and what to clarify when comparing the school’s exact course.
Discovery flight
An introductory lesson to explore the aircraft and teaching approach. Ask about flight time, who will instruct you and what the quoted price includes.
Private pilot training
A private-pilot training path. Compare the aircraft used, ground-school arrangements and how lessons progress from initial skills to practical-test preparation.
Advanced flight training
The provider publishes flight instruction, but the exact course scope needs a closer look. Ask for the available certificates, ratings and current aircraft.
Simulator training
Practice using a training device. Ask which device is used, whether an instructor is included and how the sessions support your particular course.
Aircraft rental and flying club
Access to an aircraft subject to the provider’s requirements. Ask about checkouts, booking restrictions, insurance and how billable time is measured.
Instrument rating
Training focused on instrument flying, procedures and planning. Compare aircraft and simulator use, scheduling and the preparation expected before flight lessons.
Private pilot
A private-pilot training path. Compare the aircraft used, ground-school arrangements and how lessons progress from initial skills to practical-test preparation.
Commercial pilot
A commercial-pilot training option. Ask which aircraft category, prerequisites, experience-building flights and practical-test preparation are included.
Aircraft & training scope
Aircraft categories: Airplane
Aircraft models: A current model list was not established from the reviewed sources. Ask which aircraft or training device your course uses.
Confirm the current lesson schedule and the aircraft assigned to your course directly with the school.

Training framework & verification
Three Wing explicitly advertises a Part 61 flight school on its current official website. Specific rating courses and scheduling should be confirmed with its training staff.
FAA reference: faa.gov. Confirm the approved course and training location with the school. Part 61 describes training rules; it does not itself identify an FAA-certificated school.
TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
Editorial assessment: Three Wing may suit a coastal Connecticut student seeking individualized training within a broader airport operation. Its flying-club and simulator resources are relevant if the student wants continued flying after earning a certificate. The decisive questions concern the particular course, instructor schedule and membership costs. General praise for an FBO’s ramp service would not establish the quality of instruction, so compare the flight-school experience through a lesson and conversations with current students in the same program.

WHAT THE AVAILABLE FEEDBACK TELLS US
Student review evidence.
Review evidence for Three Wing Flight School in Stratford is limited because the accessible Loc8NearMe material mixes customer experiences with possible training feedback. The displayed comments also include general FBO service, and the school-specific directory has no posted student review. Discovery-flight customers describe friendly instructors and enjoyable hands-on introductions. Introductory flights, sightseeing, rentals and airport service can reveal customer treatment, but do not establish the experience of completing a certificate course. No training outcome or broad student consensus is inferred from this mixed sample.
