Scheduling for stage checks and access to a DPE are two big ones no one ever talks about. If you don’t have a lot of flexibility in your schedule, you may find yourself in a tough spot. You need to be very clear with the school on what you can do and you need to make sure you understand what they can accommodate.
Just when I thought I made up my mind about my flight school! 🤦🏾♂️ Your point about being under a Class Bravo shelf at a non-towered airport makes complete sense. Off to re-evaluating a couple of things....
@@aviatormike never even heard of them. I will look into this now. I was going to pull the trigger on ATP in Morristown NJ but wanted to do more research first. Appreciate the feedback and help man. Do u have a email i can contact u on ? Are u a CFI?

Best explanation on looking for a flight school ive seen many videos definitely appreciated this you should have started a channel way sooner than 10 years in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey I am going for my CFI very soon. Im trying to find flight schools around NJ to join as a CFI. Does your flight school have a lot of students and are busy enough to have a regular schedule?
Is the CFI route the quickest pathway to the 1500 hours? Or is it the same skipping it and looking for employment after obtaining the Multiple engine ?
CFI is the fastest way in my opinion! If you move to a great state you can get 1500 in a matter of 12 months! What most people don’t say is that other jobs may only fly 40-50 hours a month. Where as a CFI you can earn up to 150 per month !
@@aviatormikeThanks for replying.... I was doing some reading and wanted to ask you about the R-ATP.. I on the fence about using my GI Bill on an aviation major to obtain the R-ATP but I'm getting some doubt if it's even worth it because from what I read online the R-ATP does not really help out much and pilots obtain the extra 500 hours with ease doing a CFI or etc... with that being said what is your perspective on it? should I just go to a part 61 flight School via personal loans where I can obtain all my license and ratings at a faster pace or the part 141 University route and use my GI Bill in a Aviation degree to also obtain all my license and rating with the addition of the R-ATP ?
Michael I live in Bergen County and does not have the time to drive an hour and a half to a Flight School , do you have any recommendation ? would like to get instructor with lot of experience . also trying to get Ground School by myself. thank you for your time
