Title: Good flight school for International Student?
Post by: Sunny on January 28, 2008, 10:51:34 PM
Hello and a big hi to all the people on this forum!

I am a software engineer and have a bachelors degree in that field - but am wanting to make a career switch.I am interested in becoming a commercial pilot. I have no prior flight experience and know very little about flight school.

I spoke to people from Regional Aviation Academy (RAA) in Deland, FL - they have a program that is for students from India. Apparently the guy claimed that he can have me done in 6-7 months! Another choice is Ari-Ben flight school.

Has anyone on here, heard of these schools? Also it possible to get the ratings and licenses in that short period of time? I have no prior flying experience.

Also could any one recommend an inexpensive flight school for international students? I would much appreciate it!

Thanks in advance for all the replies!

Cheers!

I am also new to flight schools but I do know quite a bit. I'm not sure about Florida but I know all lot of schools in California. You can check out the flight school finder on the Pilot Journey Website It gives you a list of schools in the area you are looking for. Good Luck
