Flight Schools

[Frederick Freeman]

Does anyone have a recommendation for flight schools. Especially place with good weather. Also what was your experience if you attended the school? I am looking to complete all of my ratings from PPL to Multi. So really and part 141, where I can be fully involved. Location wise and place with good weather, so Arizona, Texas, or Florida.

What schools should be avoided?
Thank you.

Schools in Arizona have great weather.

See my IR finish up, went to Double eagle now at Ryan field outside Tucson specifically because of weather. Much less contention for ILS and VORs in Tucson vs. Phoenix where you have 4 schools all via for the same IR resources.

What training(s) do you need?

We are supposed to know all this, as well as location, by reading his informative post.

Well, I think we can at least narrow location down to the planet Earth, though if he’s not in a hurry Mars might become an option in the future.

I am looking for a part 141 school. I want to do the zero to multi.
Location wise, I hear Arizona, Texas, and Florida are good. I want to go from quiting Mt job to full-time training and getting all my ratings.

What is the name of the school and what are some experiences? Thank you!

Aeropro. I run it, so can’t trust my opinion!

We are kinda new. Hoping to get 141 certified later this month.

Have a couple 172s. Working on getting another which will be upgraded to full glass and tech advanced.

Have a twin, neat old Apache, about to come out of a full restoration.

Need any instructors? I'm up in Loxley. How is it with the tower down there now? It wasn't even under construction the last time I flew in.

Definitely come see me!

The tower isn’t too bad, good guys, well experienced, but still learning how to deal with this situation. It’s probably quite a bit better. It’s the second busiest airport in the state... must have been quite the zoo before!

Scary, but ALL they got up there is binoculars! That’s it. No flight aware, no adsb type feeds, no radar, NOTHING.

Why do you want Part 141?

Why do you want Part 141?

Because I am going to go through the financial options.

Paying a lot more than you would at a 61 school isn’t going to fix that. Adjust your spending, maybe save up and hold off on flight training for a while, and then pay as you go at a Part 61 for quite a bit less. Taking out a loan will jack the price up even more over time.

 

[Sierra_Hotel]

Depending on location, the cost difference between part 61 and part 141 isnt what it used to be. Still wouldn't recommend loans to pay for training, though. Maybe if one were using VA benefits for everything after PPL.

Well, I am training in Central Texas. I have to carefully plan my training days due to windy conditions about half the year. And not just any winds, but gusty, cantankerous cross winds. The flight school I am at has weather bounds.
