They have so many Korean students as well. They also offer flight instructor position once you obtain all your ratings here.
I must disagree
piloto.
I stopped by Westwind one day a couple years ago and saw the most awful act committed by an instructor. He basically belittled his student publicly in the lobby area and completely undermined his confidence. I bought my charts and exited the building. Thats why I stopped by, to check it out, final conclusion,
nope I won't be flying here. The look on the students face said it all. I met another guy who was failed on a stage 1 pvt pilot check for being unable to calculate W & B in his head during a simulated engine failure.
Yeah that pretty much sums it up. What a joke, During an engine failure thats the last thing on your mind, and I guarantee it's not on the checklist either!
I know that particular instructor did not represent everyone there. But it was interesting to see what I consider a big NO NO happen while I just happened to stop in a check the place out.
