How To Look For 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.

There is nothing wrong in using a checklist to aid you in your search and final selection decisions. Many still do find this old method an indispensable and invaluable tool. So therefore you should have no qualms and reservations in creating and using a checklist. Remember that it will give you an informed decision once all the necessary facts have been collected.

Before committing to a specific flight school, you must try to gauge the quality of the instructors or the instructor who will teach you. The one who will train you must have several thousand hours of flying experience, the acceptable minimum being about seven thousand hours or more. The one instructing you must be duly accredited and recognized by the FAA or Federal Aviation Administration and related certifying bodies.

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.

Quite a few factors exist which may affect your final decision outcome. Covered in this article are just a few that are suggested that you make as part of overall criteria in arriving at your final choice. In sum, always cover all bases before deciding.
