hello everyone,

I am considering a carrer in aviation, my favored location for flight school are
USA - Florida
Autralia - Basair.com

Basair is offering me a good course and good price......

Any advice on which school are better in florida? I googled it and there are so many of them!!!

I want to obtain the following qualifications plus meet DGCA requirements.
1.Private Pilot Licence
2.Comercial Pilot Licence
3.Multi Engine Rating
4.Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating (Including Night)
5.Simulator Training.

Additional if possible, (BasAir is offering all these)
1.Basic Aerobatics.
2.Advanced Remote Area Navigation
3.Satellite & RNAV Systems

I bench marked all other Florida based courses with BASAIR and basair tops...according to me....But i a newbie and i need help.

BASAIR is offering all above for US$37,200 52Weeks Duration.
They are also winner of 2005 Business Award - Aviation Business.

I have absolutely no idea about USA Florida based flight schools.

Please advice.....

I know of three flight schools that the majority of their foreign students are from India. They are:

Aeronautx.us - West Palm Beach, FL (Google aeronautx.us)
AriBen Aviator - Fort Pierce, FL
Kemper Aviation - Lake Worth, FL

Not sure what Kemper's prices are however I venture to say they are somewhere in the ballpark of other Florida based flight schools. What you're looking to accomplish will run you between $47K-60K.

It's all about location.

All the best.

First you need to ask yourself, "do you love flying more than money?" You have to. I have seen to many people quit the airlines because they could not handle being in debt and broke. I have been working for the airlines for one year and the wife and I have already had to collect food stamps once. Still love it though...

(Most of the year was food stamp free, but still broke)

Any idead about schools in California?

Never heard of Basair.com and know nothing about California.

First I would choose a part141 flight school attached to a university. Major in something other than "Aviation Management". Aviation law, Avaition tech. Anything but just Manegement. An Avaition Manegement degree is worthless general studies with an aviation twist. Why major in something else? A good paying job for when you get furloughed or do not want to do this anymore. And yes, you WILL get furloughed.

Second I would get my CFII MEI. It is also good work for when you get furloughed and a good clean way to build time.

As far as what school, in state would be cheaper. Look at what each school has and will give you when you are done. Jet time, Jet sim time, Type rating, CFI, CFII, stuff like that. AOPA would have alot of info on that stuff and coujld help you make the decision.

Good luck!!!
