Filing Flight Plan
First of all I want to introduce myself. My name is Brandon. I'm currently stationed in Guam but forward deployed to Iraq. My plans are to return to Colorado in about a year to finish my degree and start flight school with a bit of money I have saved up. Some people say I'm thinking too far ahead since I am still a year from being able to do anything.
So here's my question: I've been looking at some flight schools in Colorado Springs and though I can't really decide by looking at the websites I have noticed something right off the bat. One school is almost all (relatively) young instructors while the other one has a lot of (I'll be nice) "wiser" instructors haha. I've always felt that the more experienced crowd is usually that way for a reason maybe because they have good communication skills. Is this necessarily true in aviation? I heard to stay away from "hour builders" as they may or may not be very good instructors. Any inputs on this?
Also if you guys have any inputs for the schools/clubs or free lance instructors in the Colorado Springs area that would be very helpful too. Thanks.
