Things To Consider When Looking For A Piper Meridian Training School

By Minnie Whitley


You have just acquired your first Piper Meridian and you want to fly her right away. If you are an experienced pilot you probably could. If however you are pretty much a beginner or a novice pilot, you may need to get some Piper Meridian training.

Although many will resist the use of a simple checklist to aid them in making decision, it is by all means always recommended. It will assist you in making a complete and informed decision all the time. It is wise not to just rely on Google or Yahoo alone every time you do some research.

Nothing beats experience as a teacher, so you should also look for this in your future school. Their faculty must not only be all FAA or Federal Aviation Administration approved but must have at least seven thousand hours of flying experience in your specified aircraft.

Although your instructor will have the experience to share in teaching you, he or she must be adaptable. They should be able to adapt to your rate of absorbing new ideas, or learning new skills, and must be patient enough to start from scratch if need be. Their ability to refer to real life experiences as an added bonus to your teaching is also a good trait you should look out for. Not only should they be real life experiences that have happened, but specifically experiences that have happened to your particular instructor.

The right school to teach you how to fly your Piper Meridian is one that is specialized in this sort of thing. As this plane small and designed for private use, the school you are looking for must specialize in these smaller aircraft sizes. Likewise pilots must have the experience in handling small planes as they fly quite differently when compared to larger aircraft models. They should be quick to give you tricks of the trade so to speak in handling the particular quirks and peculiarities while in mid flight.

Upgrading and refresher courses, more commonly known as post training services, should be made available by your prospective school. These courses are needed to basically keep your reflexes and skills at a minimum acceptable par, as they can diminish over time especially if you do not fly frequently. These courses actually help you in keeping your skills and knowledge up to date. The courses on offer should also be able to meet your own busy schedule and must be as flexible as possible.

When selecting a flight training outfit or school to train you, see how wide their regional coverage is. They should be able to operate out of more than three airports at least. Such a school is more beneficial to you as you will learn to fly in more diverse flight environments.

Making a complete and informed decision for anything is always recommended. This article hopefully has given you some points to ponder on and items to include in your decision checklist. It would also be a good idea to consider other factors that you can research and investigate on.
