Surprisingly, not much. The government's - more specifically the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) - approach to flight training is fairly simple.

Financial - Do you need financial assistance in the form of loans, scholarships, or grants? Are you willing to forego any assistance and pay installments or as-you-go?Most training can be supplemented by a variety of different financial assistance. As a rule of thumb, the larger, more varied the training institution is that you are looking at, the more likely its ability to assist with http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SoYouWannaBeAPilot/~3/5fYgO2cZeRM/financing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (aussieman02)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SoYouWannaBeAPilot/~4/5fYgO2cZeRM" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.soyouwannabeapilot.com/2009/06/financing.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622597610304690766.post-5427982899760515741Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:34:00 +00002009-06-15T13:35:22.109-05:003. Equipment - Searching for flight training in an airplane? If you're looking for airplanes, what specifically do you want to fly? Big jets, little general aviation aircraft? Fancy, new, top-of-the-line airplanes?As all my experience in flight training has been with airplanes, this section may be a bit skewed in that direction.

Schedule - Are you a student who can devote all your time to your flight training? Will you work a job, either full-time or part-time? Are you just looking for a few training sessions a week or daily? Just weekends?Schedule and frequency are two similar words when it comes to flight training. Most instructors recommend flying regularly and frequently to maintain proficiency.

From my experience, when I decided to pursue flight training, I was naive and unaware of questions that would be relevant, and what would be a good idea to ask. Many people listen to other students and ask great questions, but others, http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SoYouWannaBeAPilot/~3/g2qMskcpqNs/training-considerations.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (aussieman02)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SoYouWannaBeAPilot/~4/g2qMskcpqNs" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.soyouwannabeapilot.com/2009/06/training-considerations.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622597610304690766.post-9132011833334732510Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:38:00 +00002009-06-02T11:40:06.357-05:00I've created this site and blog as an avenue of sorting fact from fiction when it comes to flight training. My intention is to create an unbiased description of what aviation is, how it is trained for, and the different ways of receiving training. There are so many different ways of training and selecting careers that the most important information for perspective students is often replaced with http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SoYouWannaBeAPilot/~3/EA62p5CStxA/before-you-begin-training.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (aussieman02)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SoYouWannaBeAPilot/~4/EA62p5CStxA" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.soyouwannabeapilot.com/2009/06/before-you-begin-training.html
