Flying School feedback shutdown
Understandably the Mods just closed a post, with a potential new Pilot inquiring about a school recommendation.
He had only a very small number of Posts, starting out in the industry, with no idea of the PPrune history behind that decision to close the post. He joined in the last two weeks. No doubt an enthusiastic starter. An unfortunate early experience in the industry.
Anyway, "Radiodude" or any other potential starter out there. A tip. Narrow your decision down to two schools. Approach each of the CFIs independently on different weeks over your next holiday. Have a BAK textbook in hand. Ask if you could drop yourself in the school for a week for some quiet study of your book, in a conducive atmosphere. After you invest a week in each school, you will know. Your discussions with students undertaking training, observing how staff interact with students, listening how maintenance issues are being handled, are the students getting treated with respect, are they being briefed etc, etc.
More often than not. One school will stand out. It could well be a different school for different people. Trust me, there are a lot worse ways to invest a couple of weeks, and you will have a good head start on your Ground Studies. Good Luck mate!
