TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
The published progression through additional certificates and ratings is relevant to students planning more than an initial private certificate. Compare each stage separately: required prerequisites, aircraft charges, ground instruction and progress checks can materially affect the total plan. The published aircraft models make equipment comparisons easier; ask which aircraft is assigned to your course and what backup is available. Confirm the campus before relying on a school-wide program or fleet description.
