Choosing a Correct Flying Club That Makes You a Better Pilot
By Yugal Goyal


It has always been difficult to make a choice of flying clubs. However, flying clubs need to have certain facilities like below:

1) All flying clubs should have a good number of airplanes approved by the government of the country.

2) A good flying club should have its own hangar and a runway. There is no point in joining a flying club which does not even have the basic infrastructure. Not to forget that if it is located out of town, it should have games and entertainment facilities as well.

3) All the instructors in the flying club should have valid licenses with current ratings.

4) In international flying clubs, they ensure that the number of student pilots exactly matches withe number of airplanes and the number of flying instructors as well.

5) A well recognised flying club always adheres to the rules and regulations of the government of the country.

It is always better to take a review from senior student pilots from the flying club you are planning to join. One must read more and more from the magazines, newspapers and other information available about the flying clubs. This gives aspirant an idea about how things work in a flying club and how to make a choice. The requirements for a commercial pilots license are somewhat different from the private pilots license. So one should decide from the very beginning which category of pilots license they want to go for. This will also help while looking for jobs in future.

This article helps you deciding which flying club to join and the qualities you look in a good flying club.

If all the above points are taken care of, we are sure you will be able to choose one for yourself.
HAPPY LANDINGS.
