Some Things To Look Out For When Choosing A Piper Malibu Training School

By Minnie Whitley


You may have just acquired a new or used Piper Malibu for you to try and fly. You may at the moment be in the market for some Piper Malibu training. Read on in this article so you will know how to properly choose a good training provider.

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.

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.

As all students have different learning styles, pacing and abilities, your prospective instructor or instructors should be able to take this into account. They should be able to adjust their style to you pace and skill capability or skill set. They must be able to maximize the use of your current skills, or be willing to start from zero to give you the requisite know how. In addition, their injecting of their own real life experiences in lessons must be present in all your classes. This will give you a much broader view rather than just textbook knowledge.

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.

A good question to ask your prospective school of choice is if they provide training for after market or what you will call post training courses. This basically means that they must be able to give you refresher courses after your flight training. This is needed by a lot of people who do not fly regularly but need to keep their skills up to date and fresh so to speak.

When looking for a company or school to train you in flying, scout for one that has a wider regional presence. This means that they must have more than three airports that they operate out of. Having a more varied environment for you to train in will only serve to add to your knowledge rather than detract from it.

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.
