The Right School..
hey all..want to see which school is the best?
First check out their facilities and their aircraft.
How many aircraft they have available for training.
How many of those are IFR rated (after your PPL of course).
How many instructors are available (given that the airlines are hiring, there may not be enough qualified instructors around).
From previous experience of running a school i think the most important part of a school are the aircraft and instructor availabilities.
When shopping for a school, do it like you are shopping for a big item ...carefully make sure that the product you will be buying is in good condition.
And when you decide which school you want to fly in dont put all your money at once. Make a gradual payment. Pay as you go. Some school will give discounts if you pre-purchase a certain amount of flight time instead of paying for each flight sessions. But be forewarned... even if you pay in advance to get a lower rate on the aircraft...availability way upset you when that aircraft is down for maintenace or other reasons..
Its your money..please do shop carefully.
ps...smiling goat..whats your budget...?
