Factors In Choosing A Piper Malibu Training School

By Minnie Whitley


Flight schools can be a dime a dozen. Thus when looking for one now that you have acquired a Piper Malibu, the search process should be done carefully and meticulously. This article will cover some basic things to look out for when for your new Piper Malibu Training school.

Trying to look for a good school goes without saying that it takes a lot more than just a Google and Internet search. You will definitely need some sort of guide or checklist for you to use in your decision making. A checklist, no matter how antiquated it may be for you, is still a very much widely used and helpful management tool.

Although many schools exist out there, look for one which has experienced teachers and instructors. Flying time experience is very much important and you should take this into consideration. Instructors should have at the minimum seven thousand hours experience in terms of overall flight time and must be duly licensed by the FAA or Federal Aviation Administration. If they are accredited by other recognized bodies then so much the better also.

The instructor under consideration must be able to adjust to your learning style and needs. He or she must be able to work on the current skills that you have and enhance them, or be willing to start from scratch if need be. In all they must have genuine interest and concern regarding your learning. Their ability to provide real life situations as examples into each and every lesson will be a boon and added bonus to you.

When looking for the right flight training school, get one that specializes in small and personal aircraft. This is because the Piper Malibu belongs to the small and personal aircraft category. This kind of aircraft handles much differently from bigger commercial aircraft so you will need trainers attuned to these kinds of planes. The flight training organization you have in mind should have a good track record, and if possible be willing to provide you with a client list so you can verify their claims.

Post training or after market services is an item on your checklist that should not be overlooked. These services are just basically refresher or upgrade courses made available to you either weeks or months after you have completed your training. This is so that you are always skill conscious and aware so as to maintain your flight reflexes. A program such as this is needed particularly if you are not a frequent flyer. In addition also take note that these courses must be as flexible as possible as it should take into account your schedule availability as well.

A school that can operate from more than three airports should be chosen over a school that operates out of only one or two. This is because it will afford you a larger environment to train and learn in which is to your greater advantage. Go for one that has a wider regional presence.

This article covered some basics that you need to look out for in terms of looking for the right flight training. Definitely there may be other factors that you need to consider. However, the items covered here should put you in the right direction and should also be made part of your entire decision making process.
