GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
The website attached to the ExcelAir8 Columbia record now presents Falcon Group and Falcon Flight Works. It advertises flight training for recreational and career goals alongside aircraft maintenance, management, and brokerage. Its current contact information names Kirksville Regional Airport and Omar N. Bradley Airport in Moberly, rather than Columbia. The reviewed page does not publish a detailed certificate syllabus or identify a dedicated training fleet. This record therefore provides a lead for contacting the current operator, with an explicit location and identity check before its services can be treated as available in Columbia.
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.
Flight instruction
The provider publishes flight instruction, but the exact course scope needs a closer look. Ask for the available certificates, ratings and current aircraft.
The published options below are supported by the linked school sources.
Aircraft & training scope

Training framework & verification
Part 61: Part 61 inferred in supplied source; not independently confirmed. A source listing is not a current FAA approval check or a quality rating.
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.
The accessible website supports a real flight-training service, but the relationship between the imported ExcelAir8 name and the current Falcon operation needs clarification. Start by asking whether the Columbia location still operates and who contracts for instruction. If the answer points to Kirksville or Moberly, compare the travel requirements before discussing a course. Maintenance capabilities covering light-sport, experimental, or turboprop aircraft do not establish that those categories are offered for student training.

WHAT THE AVAILABLE FEEDBACK TELLS US
Student review evidence.
Review evidence for ExcelAir8 in Columbia is limited because the accessible Google reviews via CommercialPilotsTraining material mixes customer experiences with possible training feedback. The excerpts do not establish a full certificate-course student experience. An aerial-tour customer praises informative explanations, and other brief customers describe knowledgeable staff. 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.
