Top Questions to Ask When Deciding on a Flight School

Friday, October 12, 2012
 

Choosing a flight school is not an easy decision; it is a big decision and needs to be carefully considered. Your career is on the line and attending the wrong school may not easily allow you to acquire good skills and find that dream job.

EXPERIENCE: Not only is it important to choose a flight training academy that has years of experience professionally training pilots but a school has a strong history of financial stability, so you can be assured they will be there when you graduate too. Since 1972, Phoenix East Aviation has graduated thousands of students who are now flying for airlines around the world.

INSTRUCTORS:  It is also crucial to know that those who are teaching you are well qualified and will help students become skilled pilots.  Phoenix East Aviation is one of only eight independent pilot schools that is nationally accredited. Instructors have all been trained to the highest FAA standards. The team of 60 flight instructors are among the best and are from the United States and from countries throughout the world.

COST AND FINANCING: How does the pricing compare to the quality of the instruction and graduate/career success rate? Also, does the school offer financing options? Phoenix East Aviation is known for its excellent standard of training along with its competitive pricing. In comparison to similar European training schools, Phoenix East Aviation is an estimated 50% to 80% less costly.

My name is Jason Prestigiacomo and I’m a First Officer for United Express Airlines, operated by Air Wisconsin Airlines. I’m currently based in Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport flying the CRJ. This assignment was made easier because of the flight training I received at Phoenix East Aviation, Daytona Beach, Florida. Career instructors like other flight schools do not run the flight department at PEA. Former airline pilots run it. These pilots have built up thousands of hours in some of the world’s largest and most advanced airliners and know first hand how to make the transition into the airline industry. All of the training is based upon airline standards, which makes things much easier when you step into your first airline or corporate job.
 
I looked into other flight schools and selected PEA because of their laid-back operation and job placement statistics. I attained all of my certificates and ratings at PEA, and then took a job with them as a Flight Instructor in 2001. If your goal is to become a Boeing 747 Captain or just a weekend pilot, Phoenix East Aviation is the school for you.
