Lines: 26 There are a number of things which a person should look for in choosing a flight school. 1. School reputation. A bad reputation is normally earned, as is a good reputation. 2. School facilities. A flight instructor who teaches part-time may be good, but what are the facilities for ground school and aircraft? (Note: as a part- time instructor, I use the local Pizza Hut for ground school, and a local flight school's airplanes) 3. Are you compatible with your prospective flight instructor? Remember, a 2-place airplane is a poor place to be if you don't like the other person in the airplane. 4. How expensive is the school? 5. How clean is the equipment? 6. How is the prospective customer treated? 7. What schedule conflicts exist for aircraft and instructors? If each of these questions are answered to your satisfaction, you probably have found a good flight school. Good luck Jeff Williams BTL Naperville ihnp4!cfiaime
