Deciding which flying school to use is difficult. This is because before you’ve actually started learning to fly you probably don’t have good criteria to base your decision on. You operate purely on assumption.

I’m learning to fly so I can do more moose hunting. I like flying, and I like the backcountry, and I like hunting moose. It’s a natural fit. I’ve wanted to do it for a very long time.

Pilots regularly make use of the expression “fly by the numbers”, and trust me, in flying there can be a ton of numbers. One group of fundamental numbers are the V-speeds. V-speeds are standard speeds that are important to get precision flight, and by precise flight I do not indicate some form of formation flying - I am talking about the sort of basic flying you actually undertake when you fly. They are rates of speed you should know, and in reality, my teacher requested that I know them before he’d let me solo.
