Learning to fly is an AMAZING experience, but picking a flight school can be TOUGH! There are a lot of things to consider like airports, airplanes, how your trained, cost, and MORE! In this video, we try to break things down into what you should be looking for and considering in what we call the Ultimate Guide To Picking A flight School. We may miss a few things here and there, but the video is already long enough!
Sorry for all the talking head too. I just don't have a lot of B Roll of flight schools or cool video for when we're talking about money. Feel free to minimize and listen!

Today I talked to the "renowned" flight academy I had been fantasizing about and truly interested in for the last few months, and after thankfully having watched this video, I was absolutely shocked they actually refused no only to offer a discovery flight service but to visit their campus and facilities. You had to be "almost totally commited" to join one of their integrated trainings (from 65.000$ to 120.000$) in advance in order to get to visit their facilities and finally talk personally to one of their assistants. Not to talk about how evidently elusive and unpolite they were when being asked half of this questions. Crazy as hell and a 100lvl red flag. I can't thank you enough for the massive value and true help you contributed with this video removing the blind fold every aviation dreamer has at the start. This is a video to thank and really feel priviliged to have access to nowadays with this current situation. Man, keep the good work, this is what I call passion for something. Cheers!!

Absolutely right!!!!! I had a good instructor when I started my PPL, but then he moved on with an airline. So he passed me to another instructor. This guys charges me wayyy too much! I do the preflight check ups by myself and fly for an hr, but instead of charging me for just 1.0 hr, he charges me for 1.3, 1.4 hours! which also increases on the aircraft rental price and the instructor’s price! I’m scared to speak up because I don’t want him to sabotage me.

Unless they're doing a good brief and debrief with you I would be upset. My instructor charged the .3 extra for that. Unless we didn't have one because I did my homework. If you're ready to go and its a hop into the plane thing, that's really frustrating. BUT, all instructors charge different. Some just for flight time. Others do what yours is doing, as explained, and other charge the moment they show up. The latter being more for people with their own planes. SO its in the students best interest to be ready and have the plane ready to minimize briefings and downtime. If your current instructor is doing that and charging you to preflight his plane with no real briefing..... yea..... I would find someone else.

Westwind, AZ alum here. I can attest it’s a dang solid school in overall attributes (maintenance, scheduling, efficiency, price, geographic location, etc…). It is airline oriented- meaning uniform required, and has that “company culture” feel. They’ve been bought out by United aviate though have kept key personnel. Definitely one of the top schools in the nation.

Currently at a 61 school (around 12 hours for PPL), instructor rates are cheaper and the instructors are really solid (and experienced). Sadly, they relocated a bit further away and r/l situation requires a lesser commute. I appreciate your video. These questions and being armed with already having solid instructors will have me well equipped to search around.

I'm enrolled in a school now and the information is spot on. Pricing wise there are also independent CFI's who own their aircraft, also smaller flying clubs with CFI's on staff, these are harder to find, but can provide valuable savings. That said, airport congestion, weather cancellations and travel time to/from practice areas is high on the list of my annoyances, as well as schools that demand a huge chunk of $ up front (hint: run). You'll also find different price for schools that help you with financing vs if you paid cash.

I'm not a pilot yet but I had always heard never pay upfront and then I saw why. Falcon Aviation (KCCO) that had been around forever closed. They had hundreds of students from China. They would train here and then go back home as pilots. It was so big they bought a hotel to use as student housing. Never assume that a flight school is too big to close. I talked to someone that worked there and they told them at 5:00 that afternoon when they got off work not to come back the next day, they had closed their doors for the last time. No warning, just gone. Tons of students from China were just left here with their money gone. They had to make their way back home.

It's super frustrating too for everyone involved. I've mostly heard of students deciding the want to change schools and asking for their remaining balance left, only to find there isn't as much left as they thought, the school wont give it back, or they're actually half way through their training and the money is gone. Schools are not always as financially responsible as you may think.

Thanks for the very informative video. Hope you can answer a question in mind. Should the age of the airplanes be considered in choosing a flight school? Or would it be okay to choose an older airplane as long as the systems installed are up to date? Would also be great to know what specs should be looked into in choosing an airplane. Some schools I see have higher Garmin XXX than others (Not that I know what they are).
@flywiththeguys
@flywiththeguys Жыл бұрын
The age doesn’t matter that much. I trained in a 1976. Typically more expensive better equipped aircraft cost more per hour to train in. As long as it’s properly maintained and has the avionics needed to get the job done, it should be fine. The newer Garmin products are nice and alleviate a lot of workload, but they do come at a cost.

great video. I recently dodged a bullet with a flight school that had 2 locations, one in san diego and one in the midwest. the COO has you only allowed for 2 "free interviews" and does not answer his email inbox. Once I got ahold of him, he told me how he was gay (what does this have to do with flying? other than the statistically higher percentage of deceiving other people). It took a month to get him to prepare a contract, and once I saw the contract I felt disrespected, he was charging 5x the industry average for training. I even told him how much I had to work with, which was more than reasonable. I reached out again professionally and he did not reply. Sad to see flight schools like this exist. Purely profit driven and high pressure sales.

That would probably depend on what you goals are- do you want to be an airline pilot? Do you want to continue living in Mexico? I would guess that it's probably alot cheaper for school and to fly in Mexico, and might not require as many certificates and hours to be an airline pilot In America its required to have 1500 hours to fly for an airline, which can be extremely costly, and takes time If living in America is your goal, then maybe doing flight school in America is a good idea, I believe you would need a work visa You could always learn in Mexico, build your hours for cheap, and once you have 1500 hours you can apply for the FAA license I hear Phillipeans is cheap to fly and people do training, then transfer license to America

I took a Discovery Flight recently and here is a question if you'd be kind to answer. The flight instructor was super nice, but the plane (172s Cessna with G1000) was beat up. The dash material was completely ripped off, right hand tire grooves had dry-rod. The tire on the right did not match the the tire on the left. The HDG on the dash was not working as it had a Red cross mark .The plane was was super dirty inside and out. And, they told me that they only had (1) 172S out of (5) in running order. Should I be concerned?

Having a variety of CFIs can be a good thing. Each CFI offers something the other does not. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to change CFIs.

I totally agree, but I had a buddy who's instructors kept jumping to the airlines and every time he got a new one at a school it was 3-5 hours of training. I flew with a bunch of different instructors and learned a LOT, but had one primary one I worked with throughout training.

I'm pretty sure now that I'll end up spending more than I need to just because I don't want to listen to just one instructor or one school for that matter. An extra 3-5 hours not so bad but I'd probably have to cut myself off somewhere as it could add up ;)

Just do the leg work and ask to talk with some past students. You can ask them some of the same questions about the school and see if they had to do it all over again, would they choose that school or instructor. In reality, most schools arn't bad.

What are your thoughts about cadet programs? Is the selection process competitive and is it even worth applying? Do those who have more experience get priority versus the newer prospect students with no experience? I was considering applying to Frontier's cadet program@@flywiththeguys

Note. You're talking to people searching for a school but you're using industry lingo. What's an FBO? What's a discovery flight? Remember people clicking here don't know all the inside jargon.

You're not wrong on that. FBO or fixed base operator is like the gas and service station at the airport. A discovery flight is exactly like it sounds. Your first flight.

If your mission is to fly for pleasure, this is a fun way to go. There are many independent CFIs who will work with you, and there is a lot to learn by owning and maintaining your own aircraft. Not sure about the cost savings, but if you’re going to fly lots after you earn your certificate, this can be the more economical way to go. It’s important to keep in mind that flight schools generally will not work with YOUR airplane, they’ll only train you in theirs. Independent CFIs are often not chasing an airline job, but are instructing because they just love what they do. There’s a lot of benefits to using an independent.

Most schools like to train in their aircraft because of liability, maintenance, and insurance. Unless you're leasing your plane back to the school, you'll probably be using their planes. BUT, like Steve said, you can always hire an independent flight instructor to train you in your plane.

One of the schools I visited down here in South Florida had a sign outside that read, "We train everybody, but if you're a Trump supporter, you'll get a nice discount", and to my surprise, the entire place was packed, and what's funny is that all of the planes had Trump/Pence stickers on them so if you said you were a Trump supporter just to get the discount, you'd have to fly on a plane that was basically a flying Trump ad. Gotta love Florida!...
