Flight Training in the States – Narain Aviation

Choosing the right flying school is the first main decision you will taking in the pathway to becoming a Professional Commercial Pilot. Out of the various factors to consider choosing a flying school in the right location can go a long way in saving your time and finances. One must consider the following while choosing the right location: weather, Airport, and Infrastructure, Training standards, Cost of flying, Approved flight schools. Learning to fly an airplane is quite homogeneous in a way, all over the world, as far as the syllabus and the course content are concerned. A pilot who learns to fly an airplane in any country would also be able to fly the same airplane anywhere else. But there are additional benefits of learning to fly in a country like the USA, which are explained in detail below.   Weather Almost 90% of flight training in the US, is said to be done in Florida. One of the contributing factors for that is the year round conducive weather. The weather in Florida is not only best for beginning student pilots to start their first lessons, but also provides some challenging weather. Such weather provides a great opportunity for students to learn to make their own decisions, and to tackle different weather scenarios. Conducive weather also means you’ll fly most of the days. And flying regularly will let you finish your course in the set time, or maybe even earlier!   Airports and Infrastructure Particularly in the US, there are lots of airports available for training, which include controlled (ATC / Air Traffic Control Tower) and uncontrolled (non-ATC controlled). The advantage lies in the fact that the students get exposed to all kinds of situations, i.e. to learn to fly at busier airports, and also, to safely fly and land at airports without ATC assistance. Most of the airports have facilities such as fuel and other services, which makes it practical to fly anywhere around.   Most Developed General Aviation The US is one of the only few countries where General Aviation has developed to such a great extent. There are dedicated organizations and communities for aviation enthusiasts to encourage learning and increase motivation and safety culture. The FAA’s encouragement in the form of rewards (lapel pins and certificates) keeps the aviators, both beginners and experts, motivated to constantly keep their knowledge and skills to their standards. Flying isn’t a 100% classroom activity and requires a significant amount of personalized mentoring. The large pool of well experienced instructors ensures you get the best training in the world.   Cost of flying Learning to fly, compared to other studies, is comparatively expensive. But due to the abundant availability of aircraft services, flight schools, and instructors, flying in the US is relatively cheaper as compared to other flight schools globally.   Approved flight schools Above all, part 141 flight schools in the USA are FAAapproved which ensures high quality of training, and up-to international aviation standards. Another, the added advantage is if the flight school is accredited. When a flight school is Accredited, means it has been officially recognized as a reliable authority to provide quality education and training.
