Info about aeromation flight school!
I just recieved a job offer to be a flight instructor at a school in apalachin NY. I was wondering if anyone trained there, flight instructed there, or is in that area and knows something about the school. There website is aeromation.com and there planes look a little old but thats not much of a problem its still hours. If anyone knows anything please let me know.

Well I just got done with the interview/flight, and it was ok the airport is kinda small but in ok shape. The planes fly well although yes they are older, also if your used to flying something with newer avionics then this isnt for you. No gps on both the skipper or the running cessna 310 so IMC conditions will be a no go. The training area and airport are located next to a mountain, and not many ground references but doable. There are no students as of yet but plenty of work around the office and doing some marketing work. I would say if they were to call me and offer me the job I would go, however I would take anything right now promising some flight time.

I don't recall saying I would train an ifr student solely on a GPS. I'm saying I would feel it necessary to have when flying out of a small airport with one 3000 foot runway and mountains on either side and an aircraft similar to a cessna 152. I didn't know cargo and part 135 flew that small of aircraft into small airports. I also didn't think this post was about your opinion on ifr training.

necessity no make someone with low hours more comfortable yes. Great tool to have when flying in imc, with a student who knows next to none. Ya i would say id like to have it in my plane while instructing. Not saying i would instantly be lost without it but when available its nice to have.
