How To Pick a Certified Flight Instructor

Choosing a flight instructor or school can be a challenging process, but it’s an important decision that can greatly impact your future as a pilot. It may be a good idea to interview the flight instructor, tour the school, so you can physically see the aircraft and interact with the instructors at the facility to ensure it will be a good match for you. Additionally, many flight clubs, schools or instructors offer what’s called a Discovery Flight, where you have the chance to fly with a CFI and try flying in a small flight training aircraft for the very first time. 

Another parameter to consider when choosing a flying club or flight school is the location. Aside from the convenience of location, you may also want to consider the local weather conditions, as they may impact your training. Schools in areas with a lower cost of living may also be more affordable overall. You can also speak with current members and instructors to see how their training experience has been at that particular location. If you’re ready to start your journey to becoming a pilot, join Fly With Azure Skye today!
