Here are some things you should look for as you are shopping for that perfect place to learn to fly:
New and late model aircraft that are meticulously maintained to meet or exceed FAA standards.
A structured training syllabus (ground and flight) that is FAA approved
Experienced Certified Flight Instructors who are closely supervised by an experienced Chief Flight Instructor
Itemized cost estimates for absolutely everything involved with reaching your goals
Does the flight school have an FAA approved flight simulator?
Does the flight school return your phone calls and/or emails? Is the support staff courteous and helpful?
Where will you take your FAA Knowledge Exam (written test)? Where will you take your Practical Test?
Can the school accommodate your scheduling needs, whether an accelerated program or a self-paced program around a busy and demanding work schedule?
