hookedonhelicopters Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Helo-Pilot Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ercam1991 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 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.
