Flight Schools - is now a good time? It may be one of the best times ever to learn to fly. The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) estimates that global aviation traffic will triple between now and 2035. If you're willing to work abroad, more opportunities may be available. These flight training schools are ready to launch your career as an airline pilot. Or, if you just want to learn to fly for fun, many of these schools can help you become a private pilot.
How To Choose A Flight School
Make an informed decision on which flight school is right for you. Get some experience - contact multiple schools to see what feels right for you. Distance to the airport - make sure the airport is close enough that you can make the trip at least two times per week. If just getting to the airport is tough for you, you're probably not going to make it through pilot training. Facility - clean, organized, and welcoming offices, hangars, and bathrooms say a lot about how a company operates. Fleet - take a look at the school's aircraft. Do they look maintained, or run down? The condition of the aircraft often indicates the overall quality of flight training you'll receive. Instructors - try to meet as many of the instructors as possible before making a purchasing decision. Often, you'll "click" with a certain instructor, and that can really pay off down the road. Payment options - it's generally a good idea to buy "block" time if the flight school offers a good discount. However, don't buy too much time in advance. Avoid schools that require you to "pay 100% up front" as this is a huge red flag. Good luck!
