Flight Schools in Texas

Wondering what everyone thinks of the flight schools in texas. Whats the best to go to? Pros and cons? Obtaining a job as a CFI after graduating? Just whatever information you can give me would be helpful. Thanks

Not to hijack this thread, but in addition, if anyone knows of any good schools in the San Antonio area and a brief review, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Good luck. I’m still looking for a place to finish my CFI in the San Antonio area. Of course, that is a place that trains in a Schweizer 300C.

I would recommend Apex Helicopters in Houston.

+1 for Sky. Great school.

Epic is at Meacham. I flew with Summit for an add on years ago, and then knocked out my CFI at Epic almost two years ago. Nice facilities, aircraft, and people.

Veracity Aviation

Veracity Aviation is top notch.

 

Talk with Derrick Smith the owner.....and Mike is a great CFI. Top notch maintenance. They are a Robinson Service center, so that's always nice. I am up here in Boise and I did my ATP with them. You will not be disappointed.

Anythings Possible Aviation-Robinson

I have flown with Anythings Possible Av, David is a nice guy.

I have done most of my training with Helicopter Serv, they are good too.

 

Helicopter Services is probably the largest school in Houston.
