Florida is a big state, best you limit your ST to certain geographies. For instance, I fly out of the Ft. Myers/Naples/Marco Island area and between May and mid Oct, you will see frequent thunderstorms daily. This can really cut into your available training time and the continuity of training. Central Florida (Ocala, Orlando, etc) isn't anywhere as near stormy especially as you push inland from the Atlantic and the Gulf. You're going to find S. Florida (Miami/FLL/ etc) pricey and, again, weather is an issue anywhere south of a line drawn from Tampa to the Atlantic. If you have questions about a specific flight school, ask, I know quite a few pilots who have experiences all over Florida and Atlanta SMSA. -- A fireside chat not with Ari! http://tr.im/holj Motto: Live To Spooge It! |

I have look for some schools such as Phoenix East Aviation, Embry riddle(too expensive), Crystal Aero Group, Aerosim and some colleges... What school would you recomend me ? Do you think is better to make a degree for example of a 4 year program in aviation?
Thank you, Fernando |

The College of Southern Nevada has a good 2-year program in Aviation that is really good. As far as 4-year programs go, you may also want to check the University of Oklahoma, University of Nebraska at Omaha, and University of North Dakota. I know that UOK and UNO have their own separate aviation institutes that concentrate completely on it, and are state funded. I believe UND is as well, but haven't been there personally to see.

Thank you Fernando -- fernando borderas There is a critical metric you may want to think about as you consider a school. Ask the several you are especially interested in about their placement history. They should be able to tell you about the job offers their recent graduates have had. The bottom line is you are choosing a school that will prepare you for a career, so choose one that has a history of getting its students placed in a career field similar to the one you are most interested in. |

Thank you Fernando A person who expects to have a serious stake in becoming an airline pilot had better expect to gain an undergraduate degree as well as an ATP. If he is interested in gaining these prizes in the US rather than say Brazil - it would be good to look over a list of best buys. I seem to recall that UNorth Dakota has a very respectable program, and there are two Oklahoma locations in the running. Spartan(Tulsa) and the SE Okla university college (whose name I am not presently recalling.) I have in mind a price tag of $60K plus. Sincerely Brian W |

Have you considered joining your country's military Air Force?

Required, not really but if I was going to fly commercially, I would have pursued a 4 yr program as a minimum gaining my PPL along the way. Everglades U has an Orlando campus and I know of a couple opf graduates who speak highly of ti. They also have two other campuses if you want to move around a bit. Most importantly, see which schools can assist with financial aid (if necessary) and which have had the best luck in placements. The airlines often favor certain schools. do this /not/ by numbers of placements but by % of students graduated. -- Good luck for good weather!
