GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
Foothill Flying Club in Upland combines flight instruction with member aircraft access and self-scheduling through Flight Schedule Pro. Its published fleet ranges from Cessna 150 and 172 trainers to Piper Cherokee and Arrow airplanes and a Beechcraft Duchess twin. Aircraft descriptions distinguish basic VFR panels from IFR-equipped airplanes, an important difference when choosing an instrument platform. The club offers introductory flying, a classroom private-pilot ground school, complex-aircraft training, and flight reviews that do not require membership. Students should ask which certificate courses are actively taught and how club membership, instructor bookings, insurance, and rental rules fit together.
Club access and scheduling
Foothill advertises self-scheduling, around-the-clock aircraft access, and flight reviews in either club or customer aircraft without a membership requirement.
Equipment differences
The fleet page distinguishes primary VFR aircraft, IFR-equipped Cessna and Piper airplanes, an Arrow II for complex training, and a Duchess described as a multiengine trainer.
Classroom ground school
The private ground-school page describes an instructor-led evening course leading to a knowledge-test endorsement on successful completion. The next intake should be checked.
Complex-aircraft option
A dedicated page advertises complex training in the Arrow II and invites nonmembers to discuss access.
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.
Private pilot ground school
Study and knowledge preparation. Confirm the delivery format, included materials, instructor support and any separate flight-training requirement.
Flight review
A review for an existing pilot, tailored to experience and recent flying. Ask how ground discussion and flight activities are planned.
Complex aircraft training
Training for a particular aircraft feature or operating requirement. Confirm the aircraft, required ground topics and endorsement scope.
Multiengine training
Training in multiengine aircraft. Confirm whether the course is an initial rating, an add-on or a transition, and which aircraft will be available.
Aircraft rental
Access to an aircraft subject to the provider’s requirements. Ask about checkouts, booking restrictions, insurance and how billable time is measured.

TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
Foothill may appeal to students who want to keep flying through a club after initial training, or licensed pilots seeking a specific airplane and checkout. The detailed fleet descriptions are useful for comparing capability, especially because not all 172s have the same equipment. The club’s ground school provides a defined academic option, but its posted class date may already have passed. Confirm the next session and current advanced instruction before assuming that every aircraft implies a complete certificate course.

WHAT THE AVAILABLE FEEDBACK TELLS US
Student review evidence.
The school-and-location searches for Foothill Flying Club in Upland did not establish usable independent student feedback in the accessible results reviewed. The BestAviation listing explicitly says it has not been reviewed. This is a limit of the evidence found, not a finding about training quality or a claim that reviews do not exist elsewhere. Request recent local student references, then compare their actual lesson frequency, instructor continuity, final costs and checkride preparation with the written course proposal.
