Factors In Choosing A Piper Meridian Training School

By Iva Cannon


A most probable good reason why you are reading this article right now is that you may have just acquired a new plane in the form of a Piper Meridian. Or another reason is that you have been thinking quite a while in acquiring one. Whatever the case may be, the thought of finding the right Piper Meridian training should cross your mind as well.

When looking for a good flight school this should go beyond the standard Google or Yahoo search. A great tool to use would be to come up with some form of checklist or guide as a sort of decision aide. Many may feel that a checklist is too old fashioned, but this is in fact far from the truth, as it is still very useful in many decision situations.

Instructors that you should consider in your checklist should be duly certified by accrediting and licensing bodies, such as the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States. They should also have the requisite flying time under their belt for this type of aircraft, which is usually around seven thousand hours or more flying time. Check with your local or national board as regards the requisite flying hours for certification.

Not everyone is a natural born teacher, and your future instructor must at least have the basic skills of being able to attend to varying learning styles, paces and abilities. He or she must be adjustable in their teaching approaches and be able to maximize your current skill set whether they be substantial or even at zero. An instructor who can pick from his own experience to bring to the cockpit or classroom is one you should try to get rather than one who refers to the textbook all the time.

The Meridian is a type of aircraft that falls under the small and private types of aircraft. Therefore choose the school that specializes in the flying and training under this aircraft category. Also try to shortlist outfits that have notable track records in their fields and ones that can also provide you with a client list that you can verify to substantiate their claims.

After market services such as post training and skill refresher courses should be made available to you once you complete a course. This ensures your skills and reflexes are always up to par and sharp, as this tends to deteriorate over time with non use, especially for those who do not fly too frequently or are just once in a blue moon pilots. These should also be scheduled at a time that is also most convenient to you in the future.

Apart from having a good track record in training new pilots, the school on which you will have an eye on should have wide regional coverage. This means that it should be able to operate out of more than three airports in the area will give you a diverse flying environment to learn in.

This short article has thus covered some basic things to look out for when looking for your flight training school. Other factors may definitely exist, but suffice to say the important ones have been discussed and covered here. Always remember that to always try to get as much information as possible and cover many angles before making your final decision.
