Consultations: What to Expect, Bring, and Schedule!

• A “New Student Consultation” is an opportunity for potential students to ask any questions they may have regarding becoming a pilot (Professional, Business, or Pleasure), professional career paths / options, or any additional questions.
• Consultations at Pilotsmith can be very comprehensive. We answer any and all questions with a realistic, honest approach designed to set students up for success. Aviation has many angles; Pilotsmith’s goal is to ensure students know exactly what to expect. This allows students to properly plan for success.
• Therefore, WRITE down your questions prior to arrival to ensure all questions are addressed and answered!
