I recently started flying out of Lachute Aviation. With a background in Aircraft Mechanics and as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License holder, I decided to do my Ground School with PilotTraining. However, balancing a full-time career with studying has been challenging, and my motivation has waned. As a result, I've paused the practical and theoretical flying portion at Lachute Aviation due to inconsistency in my study sessions and lack of progress between flights—essentially wasting money.
After a long break, I've mustered the courage and motivation to pursue my flight training again. Lachute Aviation is great for the price and the quick access to get airborne (Hobbs Time being efficient), allowing students to be in control the whole time. However, my experience with their training instructors has been below par. I've had three instructors (two English and one French), and I found their teaching methods ineffective. Both English instructors had strong accents and were more focused on correcting mistakes without any tips to avoid them so I would just do them over and over again. Also there was never a pre and post flight briefing.
I'm not in a rush; I just want a quality trainer. I'm seeking recommendations for flight instructors or schools with a focus on quality training. I'm open to relocating to another flight school, but I don't want to be forced to do the ground school as I am doing it on my own. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
