Default Re: Please Give me Advice on Flight Schools

When you're asking around, let them know you are career minded and want to know if there is any reason you couldn't fly every day. Instructor availablity. Twin availability. ATP's big draw is the ability to fly a lot and get a lot of twin time, but it comes at a price. In some situations you can do the same thing at a smaller school and save some money.

If you're previous "research" is mostly on line, you need to check out some schools in person (which you are doing), to include the ATP locations in the area.

SMO is a cool airport to fly out of. Scenic, has a tower but not too busy, lots of busy airspace nearby for the experience, and some IFR due to fog.
