How To Look For A Piper Malibu Training School

By Essie Osborn


You may be an aspiring pilot reading this, or perhaps you have a Piper Malibu that you have just bought, or are in the process of buying one. In any case you would want to fly this wonderful machine and would be looking forward to be trained and taught. Thus you will be in the market to get some Piper Malibu training.

You will need to prepare a checklist before you make this very important decision. This checklist will assist you in scoping out and choosing the right aviation training outfit for your needs. This will also make sure that you will be able to get the most reliable and most professional training organizations around.

The outfit that you choose must have the necessary certified personnel apart from the regular licensing to engage in the said business. The person that will be assigned to train you and teach you should be a Master Flight Instructor, that is having over 7000 hours of specific flight time for the chosen aircraft. Likewise this instructor must have the necessary endorsement and certifications from governing bodies such as the Federal Aviation Administration and likewise have training certificates and accreditation approved by FAA Industry Training Standards.

The person assigned to train you must be very adaptable and able to adjust. He or she must be aware of your strengths and limitations and this be able to adjust the lesson plans accordingly to fit you and your pace. The instructor should be able to give a lot of practical advice based on experience rather than just theoretical textbook stuff. They must also be able to give you a boost in your confidence to be able to maximize the skills that you have gained and are thinking of gaining while the program is going on.

Planes like the Piper Malibu are considered as personal aircraft. Therefore you will need somebody familiar with small personal planes and not one who is primarily trained for big commercial aircraft. Thus your instructor or trainer must have the necessary experience for the aircraft at hand. Also it would be helpful to get a list of previous students who you can call so you can ask for any positive feedback and comments as well.

Post program services should also be able to be given by your targeted company or outfit. They should also be able to give you annual recurrent training to keep you up to date and skill conscious. Apart from this they should also be flexible enough to tailor fit your needs and schedule, two things that are very much diverse among many aspiring pilot.

The school you have in mind should be active in at least three or more airports or airfields. This will ensure that you will be given a wider opportunity and choice of learning environment. Also a company that has wide representation regionally will also mean it is more stable and is not a fly by night operation like some outfits out there today.

This article just covered in brief what you may need to know about looking for a good organization to get you started in the art of flying. Perhaps an additional consideration to add to your checklist will be price and packages that each provider may offer. In any case you should at least shortlist possible candidates for your skills needs to at least the top three so as to give you a wider range of choice in the matter.
