Factors to consider before choosing pilot training school

For the aspiring pilot, flight training is the single most important part of their career. Without good flight training, one cannot become a pilot. Because of this, it is vital the student choose the right flight school.

One of the first factors one must consider is location. That includes the country the school operates in. The country should have a good reputation in the aviation world, and its licenses should be recognized world-wide as well as easily convertible. Canada, the United States, and European Union issue highly respected pilot licenses. Location also includes geography and climate. Although no place will have perfect weather all the time, the location should be expected to have flyable weather on most days.

Another important consideration is the fleet and facilities of the school. The school should have a fleet of well maintained aircraft, with modern equipment. Aircraft should have instruments and equipment preparing the student for the modern airline cockpit. The class and briefing rooms should be well lit, with proper desks and proper audiovisual aids. All of these are essential for a proper learning environment.

A flying school should also have good instructors with a professional attitude. Every school will have instructors wishing to “move on” in their career, but a student must be careful of instructors who are not interested in their students, or flight schools tolerating such behavior. The student’s relationship with their instructor is one of the most important professional relationships they will ever have.

The school should also provide an enjoyable learning environment. Although this is not as essential as facilities or good flight training, it motivates the student to perform well. Many schools provide social events for students such as barbecues and trips to near-by tourist attractions. This breaks up the monotony for the student, encourages them to make new friends, and motivates them to do well in their course.

HM Aviation has tie-ups with schools from around the world for their cadet program. All schools are carefully selected to ensure they provide the best possible training and learning environment for students. Career councilors at HM Aviation will assist the student in choosing which school is right for them.Selection of a proper flying school is one of the most important decisions a student will ever make. Choosing a good school not only provides for a more pleasant learning environment, but puts the student’s career to a great start.
