Flying may be a natural talent for birds, but it's something you have to learn and work hard for as a human. You can, however, learn more quickly and easily with the help of a good pilot school.
Tips on Choosing a Pilot School Consider the following factors to find the best choice of pilot school:
61 or 141 - These are the two primary types of pilot schools. Part 141 are schools approved by the Federal Aviation Administration and allow you to earn a certificate after 35 hours' worth of flying. Part 61 schools on the other hand aren't FAA-approved and must therefore subject you to 40 flying hours before awarding you a certificate.
LOCATION - Naturally, it's best to choose a pilot school that's conveniently located near your home, but if there's none in the area that you like, choose one that won't force you to adjust to a higher cost-of-living.
EXPERIENCE - How long has the pilot school been in business? Is its faculty made up of veteran pilots? What have you heard about the quality of their education?
FACILITIES - Not all students have their own planes so will they be able to offer you use of aircraft of good working order during training?
TIME - How much time do you have? Do you wish to study part-time or full-time? Not all schools may allow you to study part-time.
OBJECTIVES - Why do you wish to learn to fly an aircraft? Is it for recreational or career purposes? Naturally, hoping for a professional flying career will require you to put in more hours during training. Also, what kind of flights do you wish to make - local or international? What kind of aircraft do you wish to fly - a chopper, jet, or a huge Boeing 747? Answering these questions will help you know not only which the best pilot school to choose is but the best flight course for you as well.
RATES - Tuition fees differ for pilot schools as well so look for one that will offer you great education for an affordable value. If you are a military veteran, your pension will let you enjoy lower rates only with Part 141 pilot schools.
ALLIANCES - If you're interested in getting additional flight courses and aviation degrees in universities and other educational institutions, look for an aviation school that has tie-ups with these establishments so that transfer of school will be made easier.
When you find a pilot school that meets all your requirements based on the aforementioned factors then that's the best place for you to learn how to fly!
