What to ask when choosing a flight school

For readers who are thinking of becoming a professional pilot or for those who are just considering a private pilot license, the Aviations News Blog has posted a helpful top ten type list of good questions to ask when choosing a flight school. These questions have been conveniently organized into the following ten categories: 1) Experience, 2) Quality of instruction, 3) Aircraft training fleet, 4) Programs, 5) Hiring of graduates, 6) Diversity and visa issuance ability, 7) Financing, 8) Weather, 9) Cost of living and life style, and 10) Graduate hiring rates.

Again, some of these question categories are more appropriate for those seeking a professional pilot license. However, even questions about the weather in the location of the flight school and aircraft training fleet being used are important considerations for those seeking to obtain a private pilot license.
