Deciding to pursue a pilot's license involves numerous considerations beyond the initial decision. Whether for recreational flying or an airline career, several factors influence the choice of a flight school.
Weather plays a crucial role in flight training. Training requires good weather conditions, including clear skies and calm winds. Cloud height and visibility are key; clouds below 3,000 feet and limited visibility can halt training activities. Cold temperatures combined with precipitation also restrict general aviation unless aircraft have anti-icing capabilities.
Flight training is often conducted in Southern California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida due to favorable weather conditions compared to regions like Portland or Chicago.
