Ready to Learn to Fly in Fort Lauderdale?
Do a little online research to find Fort Lauderdale flight schools in your area. Exploring a school's web site can give you a general idea of what they offer. Think about what you need or want. Are you okay with flying an older aircraft or do you want newer equipment? Remember, as far flying is concerned, well-maintained aircraft of any age can do it, but some people want experience with newer aircraft, or just feel safer aboard them. Once you've put together a list of potential schools, you're ready to start the two-step screening process.
Screening Potential Flight Schools
Step One: Calling the school. There are a few questions you'll want to ask up front, which can help you better screen your options. You'll want to know how the busy the school is, how many instructors are available, and how many hours they fly per month. Scheduling- both yours and theirs- can be an issue, so make sure you'll be able to schedule both an instructor and a plane at the times you want. Multiple types of the same aircraft are also a good sign that you'll be able to get the plane you need regardless of other flyers or maintenance work. Ask what types of airplanes they use for training- this could be important screening information if you have a personal preference for a certain type of aircraft. The average of accumulated flight time needed during Fort Lauderdale flight training to acquire a pilot's certificate is between 60 and 70 hours, but schools vary, so ask how many hours they require. You'll also want to know how long each individual lesson is. Find out about instructor rates, aircraft rental rates, fuel surcharges, and any additional fees or discounts, such as deals for purchasing blocks of time. Ask what type of training materials are used, and whether they are included in the instruction cost or if you have to pay for them separately. Finally, schedule an in-person tour and instructor interview at the schools you're still interested in.
Step Two: Personal visit. When you visit the Fort Lauderdale flight schools which made the cut, be sure to meet with instructors in person. Discuss any personal concerns with the program, and questions about instructors and equipment, such as "why did they decide to teach," and "what kind of maintenance do the planes receive?" Try to get a feel for the dynamic between you. Is the instructor relaxed and helpful, or do they seem tense or irritated? A good instructor should make you feel good about asking questions, and confident that you'll be safe with them in stressful situations. Talk to students and ask about their experiences with the training, various instructors, and pros and cons of the program.
Check out the equipment and the planes. Do they look well-maintained? Remember there's a difference between the normal wear and tear that shows on the skin of an older aircraft, and planes that just look beat up or dilapidated. Ultimately, you need to feel comfortable going into the air multiple times, so if you don't feel good about the instructors or the equipment, move on to the next Fort Lauderdale flight school on your list. Learning to flying can be a rewarding, liberating experience, but it takes confidence, so pick the school you feel most comfortable with and get ready to take off!
