Here again...
Well Sierra does have several BE76... But unfortunately more than often they are not all in the line at the same time.If I remeber correctly they had 5 or 6.
Thus every now and then Scheduling was a major problem. Especially if there were a lot of students trying to get through their Multi at the same time.
Also as airline hiring is increasing instructors are ever younger and more inexperiencced ... And that has to reflect to the standard of instruction.
I had a very good instructor and he out of US now being hired to fly for airlines.
As for the overall quality on a scale from 1 - 10 ,I would rate Sierra Academy around 6+. Depending largely on who do you get as your instructor.
Also, as with any pilot school in US, be VERY careful about the prices quoted as they usually have hidden charges in them
( Sierra being no exception).
Cost of living in San Fransisco is one of the highest in the US .If you rent a room the standard going rate is from 400 USD to 600 USD / month. Figure around 1000 USD/ month for overall living expences...
