| How To Pick A Helicopter School For Training |
|
By Barney Garcia A career in flying helicopters or airplanes is a dream of many youngsters. Learning to fly is an expensive affair. It is very important to choose the best training school that trains you in flying. Visit the school; meet with the owner/president, look the facilities and aircraft over. Make a note of the pertinent information and compare it with their information brochure. The following aspects should be checked out before arriving at a decision: · Does the school have single or multiple helicopters? A single helicopter facility will have a difficult time schedule and mechanical problems may cause lesson cancellations, where as with multiple helicopters another helicopter can be substituted. · Talk to a couple of instructors. Ask questions, such as if the instructor is happy with his job and the management, maintenance and general shape of helicopters. Observe the instructor’s body language as answers.
· Find out the payment process, whether it is advance or in part; also the bonus if any, for down payment. · A private pilot certificate normally takes 55 hours flying time for an airplane pilot and 65 hours for non-pilot. If the school is taking 90 to 100 hours, then it must be ‘overtraining’ them in order to get additional revenue. · Get references from at least two current and two ex-students for checking on school’s training program. Talk to students who have already soloed/passed from the same school for honest and reliable information of the school before signing in.
