which is the best flight school in the world?

i will be completing my BBA in computer and management information systems soon but my office is in the cockpit. i would like to commence my flight training starting from ppl to being rated on the 747,777 and 787. money is not a problem so which flight school would you recommend m willing to do it anywhere in the world in the shortest possible time.

I think you are looking for a school that has such a great reputation for quality that graduating from it will greatly increase your chances of getting a job. However, with the exception of the military, no such flight schools exists. It’s not like there is one school that just stands out from the rest. Your certificates are the same no matter what school you go to.

Most flight schools in your local area will offer very fine quality training at a reasonable price. There isn’t any advantage to going to one of the university programs, especially if you already have a degree. I recommend shopping around in your area and picking the school you like the best. You can find flight school listings here:

The following sites have some pretty good discussions about the things you should consider when picking a flight school. A couple of them are from a site about helicopters, but the parts about picking a good school are still the same.

Help please!! I’m really interested in flying airplanes.?

I’m still in high school and I was wondering if anyone knew of any flying schools or lessons I could go to. Please, this would be very helpful.

You can find out where a local flight school is if you visit http://www.beapilot.com/ they have a database with flight schools listed.
Also you can check out my Yahoo 360 Blog I have been writing about getting your private pilots rating!

Why is there a helicopter flying around my house?

:-/

I can think of a couple of possibilities. First you have been sun bathing in your back yard. Second that you have been using words online on some monitor’s watch list and they are investigating you. No real worry unless its a black helicopter and there are black Chevy Suburbans cruising the street outside your house. Good luck to you

Is there a flying school in the Philippines offers free training for a commercial pilot? Tnx…?

How airplanes flying high get the combustion air?


Though the density of air is low at high altitudes, the amount of oxygen present is sufficient for the combusion of fuels in aeroplanes and jets. But for spaceships where there is no oxygen in space, the ships carry liquid oxygen which is the fuel.

If a helicopter does not move while flying in the sky, will all earth geographical area pass through ?

When a helicopter flies standstill in the sky, naturally land area, sea, mountains etc should necessarily pass through the helicopter, because the earth is always rotating. Will this actually happen?

Gravity keeps it binding to the same spot unless this is out of earth’s gravitational field !

Can you recommend a flying school in New Zealand where I will be able to progress from a PPL to an ATPL?


Massey University offers that training. Most aeroclubs there offer training to ATPL.

Is Embry riddle aeronautical school the best flight school?

I want to become an airline transport pilot, the kind that fly the big 747planes on international flights. Does anyone have any helpful information on that school or the profession, that will help? Also has anyone ever heard of Farmingdale state universty of New York and how does their flight program compare to Embry Riddle’s?

To begin, the 9/11 terrorists did park a white van on Embry Riddle’s property and some of them did test flights in the area, but that has no significance on the school.

My sister in law attended Embry Riddle, and it is a wonderful school. She studied Ergonomics there, and she absolutely would recommend the school because it is highly professional, has a mixture of age groups and ethnicities, and an overall strive to educate their students for those willing to put in the work.

I have not heard of Farmington, but in both cases, a campus tour would be beneficial, a cost analysis, and a list of alumni, which usually shows current employment, can all assist you in your needs. Also, Embry Riddle, not too far from the beach!
