1. What is the average number of hours to the skills test at your school?
2. Describe the way you track students progress / how is the course structured from flight lesson to flight lesson / can I see the lesson plan?
3. What are the chances of flying with just one instructor almost all of the time (except stage checks)?
4. How many aircraft do you have of one type / what are the chances of flying just one aircraft type during my course / how is maintenance organized so that "my" plane is available when I need it?
5. Are your instructors hour builders or career/freelance dedicated instructors?
6. After I have my PPL, what other courses/challenges can you offer me. Tailwheel, aerobatics, night, IMC, IR, ME, CPL?
7. After I have my PPL, what are the rules with regards to aircraft hire (minimum hours, overnight stays, ...) and what are the rules on currency/check flights?
8. Do I need to pay upfront, and what if I don't?
