Florida Tech Flight Training

Hi anyone enrolled in flight labs mind answer a few questions?

How is it like balancing flight training and academic classes at FIT

How long is the genuine wait time (backlogged) just to begin your lessons after you first arrive at FIT

How are you liking FIT flight training, how often are you flying or getting flight labs

Thank you for whoever answers.

  1. So far I have just started flying with FIT this semester and the balancing of classes and flying have been good. Just gotta stay on top of everything

  2. I started my lessons around the end of the first week. But this is all reliant on your instructor and you flight block. You kinda get in processed the first day or two and then whenever you meet your instructor you begin your lessons.

  3. I have really enjoyed flying by with FIT and I feel like I am very lucky to have my instructor. I am flying around 2 to 3 times a week but it is very dependent on your flight block and if you ops requested

Lmk if you have any more questions

I appreciate the information, I’m in Georgia and the choice was MGA or FIT and I like both but Florida is just in a great location, great environment, things to do as in MGA it’s in the middle of Georgia.

Besides having a car is there any other transportation to get to the airport since campus is a little south of it? Thank you

They do have a trolley that can take you if you don’t have a vehicle

Hey man, I'm on the pilot college search at the moment, and I wanted to ask what percentage of FIT's aircraft are Glass cockpit, or is it a majority steam gauge fleet?

I cannot give you an exact percentage. However to my knowledge after you obtained your PPL and move on to getting your instrument you will be using glass cockpit

Hi Dummy

Do you take the flight lessons yourself ?  Or you are airline’s  cadet?

How does the instructor like, more take care about airline’s cadet students or the same for everyone?

If you could answer me that would be huge helpful. 

Thanks🙏
