What trait(s)
about the
training
experience
should be
emulated at
other schools
around the
country?
"Early introduction to flying in complex airspace."
What could
they do
better?
"Have more instructors who are not trying to check a box to get to the airlines.
Understand instructing is a necessary stepping stone, but it's almost like the
student is serving the instructor rather than the other way around."
(Note: This question was
not scored, but rather asked
as a point for constructive
feedback to help move the
industry towards the optimal
flight training experience.)
"Genuine concern for
students and their safety
and proficiency."
"I was always allowed
to bring others in on my
training, and the ability to
bring my wife and older
child with me on dual
instruction made training
a family activity."
"Clearer communication on what I
could do while waiting for my
medical to renew."
"My first
impressions
of the school
were..."
{
"The value that they
offer students. They have
well-maintained aircraft
and there are no surprises.
They take the financials
into consideration when
formulating the training. This helped in me
completing my training
and not quitting midway
because of finances."
"After ground school is over, I wish
they would have gatherings or
events just for student pilots going
through training. To reconnect and
share training experiences. I feel a
bit isolated from other students and
would like the opportunity to meet
new student pilots as well."
"Defined syllabus,
impeccable documentation, constant feedback,
encouragement and support, honest expectations
of cost and time required."
"It would be nicer if the website was
a little easier to use."
