current size of White Air?

[gcman6]

I have been looking to start flight training and have been recently looking into White Air. I was curious what the current size of the school is as it is newer, but yet seems to be growing steadily. How many instructors? On average, how many students? I like your website and it seems like you have a great training program. Thanks for any info.

We are small. We have 4 planes and 4 instructors currently. We have about 15 local students and 3 front out of town right now. 4 students are in career programs with more coming after the first of the year. Once I get the financial aid situation squared away I have additional students that have expressed interest. Things are really hopping around here and only getting bigger. We have plans for additional planes and expanding the housing already. You can give me a call at 620-431-2200 if you have questions also.

Thanks

Thanks, in the career programs you provide housing. What about married students? Is there any way that housing could be provided for my wife and I? Maybe I'll give you a call

Ｉam wondering when the White Air would get part 141 approved and when is foreigne visa programe (M1 or J1) available!
besides,Chaute Martin Johnson Airport is a non-tower airport, and how could students train for the radio communication!
It would be greatful if the school could answer me the questions!

Thanks!

We should have Part 141 approval in the Spring. I do not forsee us doing a Visa program.

You can get plenty of radio communications practice by doing things the right way in uncontrolled airspace. There is also plenty of Class D, C, and B airports around that we go to regularly. The FAA examiner comlimented me on my radio skills during my checkride(in class C). I don't think its an issue.
