How to Choose the Right Flight School : 7 Key Questions to Ask

By PilotsPathway | December 6, 2021

Choosing a flight school is one of the most important decisions in your pilot journey. With so many options available, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Asking the right questions can help you find a school that matches your goals and ensures quality training.

Start by confirming whether the school is DGCA-approved and has a solid track record of CPL holders and airline placements. Ask how many students are currently enrolled, and get a sense of how much individual attention you’ll receive — the instructor-to-student ratio matters a lot.

Next, evaluate the condition and availability of the training aircraft. Are they modern and well-maintained? How often do students get to fly? Look into the average course completion time and whether weather or scheduling issues cause major delays.

Choose a school that matches your needs, values your time, and sets you up for long-term success.
