Flight Training Q & A
Q: What is the difference between a regular flight school and Flyaccelerated?
A: Regular flight schools train their students in usually two hour blocks a few times a week or few times a month. They occasionally moonlight as "accelerated" but their typical definition for "accelerated" is 6-8 weeks if they are lucky due to the fact that they are not geared for accelerated training.
Q: What courses do you typically teach in the accelerated format?
A: We typically only do the private pilots license and instrument rating but we can also do finish up courses for those of you who need the extra little push to finally get it done that typically last 3 to 8 days or more as needed. We also do commercial pilot, CFI, and CFII as well.
Q: How long should the Private pilots license or instrument rating usually take?
A: You can expect about ten days to two weeks to complete your Private pilots license under normal circumstances. Any disturbances such as bad weather, aircraft malfunctions etc could possibly add to this time however we have made provisions for this to happen at sometime during the course.
Q: What could I do on my own prior to starting the private pilots license?
A: Visit the before you arrive page.
Q: What type of testing has to be completed before I can receive my private pilots license or any other license or rating for that matter?
A: You will be required to complete a written test and a practical test before you receive your license. The written test is something you can prepare for online before you start your training if you wish by visiting sportys.com and registering for the ten dollar study buddy program. The practical test is completed at end of our training and is conducted by an independent FAA designated examiner (He is not an employee of the FAA). It consists of both oral questioning and a flight evaluation and lasts about 4 hours total from start to finish. We will coordinate the meeting with the examiner when we are ready and ensure that you have everything necessary to pass your test before you get the license.
Q: How does the typical training day usually go on the ten day program?
A: We typically start around 9 in the morning with a short ground and preflight then on for about a 1.5 to 2 hour. After the flight (around 10 am) we have about a 2 hour ground training session and then on to about a 1 hour lunch. After lunch (appx 1pm) we go on another 1.5 to 2 hour flight and then on to another roughly 2 hour ground training session which puts to around 5-6 pm and dinner time. After dinner, we go on another flight and work on our night flying or instrument training requirements as necessary. Ground training may also be
substituted at this time depending on areas which we may need to add additional focus as necessary. Our daily schedule will constantly change based on our syllabus as well as to adjust to your specified learning requirements.
Q: What is the advantages of accelerated training over slower paced training?
A: When you drag out your training over many months, you can expect to pay 50% to 100% more as well finish with a much higher total flight time than you would by attending my accelerated course. Why is this? It is because the time you take off in between lessons causes you to forget what you learned during your last lesson. You in turn take precious time during your next lesson simply "remembering" what you forgot in your last lesson. Additionally, around 94% of all students who start non accelerated training will never receive their pilots
license (according to AOPA) compared to about a 5% drop out rate for my accelerated students.
