Searching for a commercial pilot school near you should be based not only on location but also on other criteria. Ask yourself, are the closest flight schools really the best ones to spend your time and money? Are there schools farther away from you that offer housing and pickup/dropoff services? Will it be worthwhile for you to choose a school that is recognized by the Department of Education and the ACCSC in order to whittle down your selections?
As we said before, call every school that you are interested in and talk to someone. Ask the right questions and get solid answers. Work with the school you choose to make sure you are getting the best flight education you can pay for, and find out if they are a training mill or if they will really work with you to make you the best pilot you can be.
