Hey

I'm a filipina. I came to HAA May last year. Just finished my instrument End of course. I like HAA more so Oregon. Long wait for checkrides... but I dont mind. Bad weather during winter months... but as long as you arrive around April or May or June you can finish up your Private faster cause summer weather is great. Then during winter work on your instrument so you can still fly with the low ceiling.

lots of students get a job as a cfi after with F1 visa. So far still promising. They say there are better schools out there especially weather wise. But I like it here. I prefer cold and cloudy than the sunny florida and arizona.

regards

Hi! If you are still in HAA would you happy to answer some questions, maybe in PM?

Hi I am a Filipino and opting to enroll in Hillsboro this summer, I just wanted to ask you how long did it take you to work as a CFI for them? (PPL to CFI instructor) And did you encounter any problems with school?

Please can you comment on the HAA fleet? How is the schedule of available aircraft and the instructors look like at Hillsboro Aero Academy? Do they hire most of the CFI who graduate?
