Introduction

There are certain pilot training school considerations you need to be mindful of, as they help in turning your passion into a profession. Choosing the right school is not just about finding a place that teaches how to maneuver a plane; it is about developing as a person into a pilot. You learn how to communicate, manage your emotions, make better decisions under pressure, learn about theories, and practice in-flight.

Let’s face it; it’s very difficult to change your passion for flying into a career that takes off the ground. You need the right school, the right training, and the right after-graduation support. Your dream of flying above the clouds is determined by the training you receive. That’s how important the right academy is!

That is where we come in! AeroCadet has brought you a guide to help you understand the benchmark that every pilot academy needs to meet to become your ideal partner.

Smarter Choice, Better Flight: Global Pilot Training School Consideration

1. Accredited and Certified Pilot Training

• You need to make sure that the choices you narrow down for your pilot training have the certifications and accreditations from the relevant aviation authority.

• For instance, the FAA in the United States and the EASA in Europe ensure that the flight schools are complying with the industry standard and operational regulations and give them the required certification.

• If you are based in the US, make sure that the pilot academy is either part 61 or part 141 certified, as that outlines the structure and timeline of your training.

2. What the Students Say and the Alumni Do?

• Perform the research, look across the website, LinkedIn, and every associated page of the academies to get reviews, filter out the pros and cons, and then make a decision.

• If you get to hear from a currently enrolled student, that’s even better! This is a valuable insight that tells you what the school is like, the lessons and instructors, along with the placements.

3. Instructor Experience and Curriculum

• The instructors and lesson plans play a crucial role in turning your passion into a profession. The instructors should have the proper qualifications and experience levels.

4. Training Cost and Transparency

• Aviation career opportunities are a great prospect. However, the flight training associated with it is a significant investment. That is why understanding the cost upfront is crucial.

• When you think you have your ideal school, ask for a detailed breakdown of their fee structure. These expenses usually include aircraft rental fees, instructor costs, books, exams, and fuel surcharges.

• Do not pay the full price upfront, as that takes away your flexibility.

5. Customization and Wide Program Range

• Try to find schools that give tailored training solutions according to your level of skills and offer a variety of accelerated programs, training, and part-time options.

• Having a wide program range is a massive advantage. Like AeroCadet has an extensive range of aviation courses, internships and opportunities.
