Finding the best flight school for you will help you achieve your desired level of pilot certification effectively and efficiently.  Let’s explore a few tips on choosing the right flight school so you can feel confident in your decision.

Some people like myself prefer a learning environment that’s more personal and tailored to my needs, while others learn better in a larger groups. Class size has a direct impact on how you learn. Sometimes when we are in a larger class environment we tend not to ask many questions and end up spending hours researching the answer to our questions. Sometimes we can find these answers easily; most of the time we end up more confused.

On the other hand, weather has a large effect on your training schedule, and if there are a lot of students experiencing delays, it can push instructor capacity and aircraft availability to the limits. At Patton Aviation we have a contingency plan in place to keep your training schedule fluid and efficient so you can become certified in a reasonable amount of time.

Before signing up for a flight school, make sure you will have time to fly. It is a known fact that the more you can train, the faster you can finish the certification process and fly on your own terms. Remember, the frequency at which you fly is up to you. At Patton Aviation we encourage regular progression throughout your training, as long gaps can have negative effects on your capabilities as an aviator.

It all depends on the type of pilot you want to be. Is it going to be a  new hobby and do you want unrestricted travel opportunities?  Perhaps you have aspirations of flying commercial airplanes in a very rewarding profession as an Airline Pilot?  No matter what your goals are, Patton Aviation can accommodate you with the appropriate levels of certification you might need.
