What Our Customers Have to Say…
“My wife purchased the Ultimate Flight Burger at the Top Gun Grill & Bar for my birthday. We took our flight on Saturday evening with our awesome pilot Chris and I have to say it was an experience of a lifetime. Not only was the weather perfect, he was an excellent pilot and provided a great mix of a first flight lesson and a relaxing scenic tour during our flight. We both had so much fun it’s even sparked discussion of pursuing a pilots license of my own some day. You never know!!!!
Thanks Again Safety In Motion, and Chris our pilot, for a great time!”
“Safety in Motion Flight Center is committed to quality training for their students while promoting safety, a positive environment, and well-maintained aircraft. Their instructors are professional and genuinely care about providing exceptional instruction, and are not there to teach students to simply ‘pass the checkride,’ but rather become safe, intelligent pilots. My instructor, Shawn Pratt, has a wealth of knowledge and experience that you cannot wait to absorb. Shawn is enthusiastic and eager to see you succeed. My MEI was finished in minimal time and very affordable. I would recommend Safety in Motion as a great place for any pilot needs.”
“I AM A PILOT AGAIN!! (Still) My Biannual flight review is DONE!! Thank you @Jack for the great instruction over the last month!! …When I hit up Shawn at Safety In Motion Flight Center, he connected me with Jack to get my BFR done and get me back in the air. Thank you for running a kick ass flight school and FBO!! I can't wait until the new 182 is on the line. This year I plan to get my complex, high performance and start on my Instrument Rating. Feels SO good to be back in the air!”
“This school is terrific! No need to purchase separate insurance for their aircraft, they have the "redbird " simulator which is great for practicing maneuvers in between flights, and they even have an actual ground school class! Also, the instructors are great to work with and super Pro! I would highly recommend this school!”
“Got my CPL here and I cannot recommend them enough! From the staff to the instructors, they’re extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I used my G.I. Bill through the process and they made it absolutely streamlined and painless. If you’re anywhere in the area and about to start flight training, this is definitely the place to go!”
"I am back in Germany and would like to thank you for the great time at your flight school, and for the good care provided by your team.
It was a lot of fun doing the flight review with you! And, the rental part was great…
I am already looking forward to the next stay in Olympia. Until then all the best and 'happy landings.'"
“I received my commercial rating through this FBO. The instructor I had, Tyler Wetherbee, was excellent and is now an airline pilot flying 76 passenger jets. We became friends and are still friends today. Anyway, I felt like I was part of a family there. Please do yourself a favor and give Safety In Motion Flight School in Puyallup, WA, at Thun Field, a try.”
“Safety in Motion Flight Center did a great job on short notice accommodating me for my ATP and preparing me for the checkride. I couldn’t be happier with the result!”

“I had a great experience at Safety in Motion Flight Center while getting my ATP. They have great people, facilities and equipment. The Redbird simulator is a great tool for gaining and maintaining instrument proficiency.”
