What is a consultation?

  • A “New Student Consultation” is an opportunity for potential students to ask any questions they may have regarding becoming a pilot, 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. 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!

Types of consultations?

The first step to the process normally begins with a consultation. There are three different options for a consultation.

  1. In-Person Consultation: This is the best option.
  2. Video Conference Consultation: If you are unable to make an in-person consultation but have video abilities on your phone or computer, a video conference is the next best thing.
