How is it here?

So, uh, what's the Career Pilot Program like at Career Pilot School? Does the program feel rushed? How's the maintenance? Is the location ok?

Basically tell me what you think about everything at Career Pilot School?

Thanks

I will let our students that are on the board chime in as well, but to answer your questions:

1) We do not rush students through the program. We expect you to take days off and schedule them into your training.
2) Mtx is top notch. If something is broken, we fix it. Period. Oil changes occur every 20-40 hours depending on the aircraft type.
3) From a training standpoint, it is an AWESOME location. February is probably the toughest flying month of the year. Summers are hot,Winter not too cold, and Spring and Fall offer nice temps and few easy IFR days. We are the only flight school at the New Century Airport, and there is not very much corporate traffic.

Yes sir, I am the owner (and a CFI/CFII/MEI). Jetcareers is a great forum and I enjoy helping people on here, whether they are enrolled in my school or not.

Career Pilot School is an offshoot of my first company, Siegel Aviation. Siegel Aviation has been around for about 4 years. We have specialized in Accelerated Training since our inception. We currently have approximately 25 students. Most are currently self-paced, but we do have 3 accelerated career pilot students going through the program at the present time. We admit only 2 new Accelerated Career Pilot or Regional Direct Program students each month. This allows us to spend as much time possible with each individual student. It also allows us to bring in 4 day multi, 10 day IFR, 5 day Commercial, and 14 Day CFI students without shuffling anyone around.

Shoot me a call and we can talk further on the phone if you like.
