The International Cessna^® 170 Association

Hi,
I am a proud new owner of a beautiful 1949 170A, I am a student pilot that has 26 hours in a 172. I work on the North slope on a 2x2 schedule and am having a hard time getting a school that can accommodate a ground school session also i cant seem to find a instructor that i can work with steady. I do believe that i need to be with different ones to get different points of views, however it seems like im waisting time and money bouncing around like this. Any suggestions on what i can do to or places i can go would be great. I would love to have my PPL by October of this year if possible.

I believe your PPL will go better staying with ONE knowledgeable instructor
than "getting different views"during the formative period of the PPL.
Too many conflicting opinions can confuse, and each instructor will
require a period of training with you to build their own confidence
in your progress.....which can result in unnecessary repetition of
learned lessons....resulting in a vicious circle of waste and doubt.

I believe Mr. Horn offers sage advice; to which I might add:

If you have the time, interview the potential instructors to obtain their points of view. Select the one that best fits your needs, all other things being equal (costs, logistics, etc.). The interviews don't have to be formal. I've interviewed people over a meal, a card game, and even a recreational basketball game. It all depends on what information you want; ability, resume, personality, etc.

AND By the Way CONGRATES on the PLANE !!!

Good Luck and post some pics
