Questions To Ask FTO's

[captainbirdseye]

I am in the process of choosing an FTO to build hours at in the USA. I am also in the process of choosing an FTO back here in Blighty to do the CPL ME/IR. To help me select I am grilling various representatives of FTO’s with questions such as:

- Prices?
- Availability of aircraft?
- Do you have a resident examiner?
- Pass rates
- What are the facilities at airfield?

Can anyone add to this brief list, as I imagine there are things that you could only know to ask after actually doing the course.

I don’t want to be in a position thinking “I wish I had asked that”.

Thanks
