Finding the Right Flight School

Here are some tips on how to select the best flight school. In the case of flight instructors, your life will depend on what your flight instructor teaches you, so you’ll want the best one you can get!

Tour the School

• How does their training program evaluate your progress? Do they perform progressive flight-checks?
• How many students is each instructor responsible for? (The number should be no more than five full-time or 10 part-time students.)
• How, and by whom, are flying lessons scheduled?
• How many training aircraft are available?
• How are the training aircraft maintained?
• How are lessons rescheduled if poor weather or a maintenance problem causes a cancellation?
• As a student pilot, what kind of insurance will you have?

Talk to the Flight Instructors

• Ask questions about their training and experience.
• Talk to other students at the flight school and ask their opinions about the instructors.
• Look for a certificated flight instructor (CFI).
• Make sure the instrument instructor has an instrument instructor rating (CFII).
• Take an introductory flying lesson to get acquainted with the instructor.
• Look for an instructor who demands perfection but has a personality that fits yours.

Ask About Ground School

Ground school can be an instructor teaching a scheduled class or a self-paced, home-study video program and/or computer software, or some combination of the two. Some students need the discipline of the classroom, so you will have to decide which method would be best for you.
