One of our core missions at FWD Aviation is to guide parents who are new to the world of aviation. We understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate the complexities of flight training, especially when you’re not familiar with the industry yourself. Let’s face it: paying for flight training is a significant investment, and without proper oversight, it can quickly become even more expensive due to inefficiencies and missteps.

It’s important to know that no single instructor is a perfect fit for every student. Flight training is highly personalized, and a good match between the instructor and the student is critical for success. Unfortunately, the reality of the industry can make identifying the right instructor or flight school more difficult than it should be. The incentive for flight instructors to build flight hours often leads to situations where students may not be paired with the right instructor—or worse, they may be stuck in programs that don’t align with their goals or learning style.

Even if you decide not to have your child train with us, we’re here to help you maximize your resources. Stop wasting money on scattered discovery flights with no clear plan. Instead, we can provide you with valuable information and insights to help you make informed decisions about your child’s flight training. We’ll help you identify red flags, assess the compatibility of instructors and schools, and map out a structured approach to ensure your child’s training is both effective and efficient.

The aviation industry is full of horror stories—students who have no idea they’re not progressing, or who are unknowingly being taken for a literal ride with no clear direction. Don’t let your child’s dream of becoming a pilot turn into a frustrating or costly ordeal. With our experience and knowledge, we’ll guide you through this exciting new adventure and give you the tools you need to make the best possible choices for your child.

Please set up a consultation with us. We’ll help you start this journey on the right foot and ensure your investment in your child’s future as a pilot is a sound and rewarding one. Let’s make their dream take flight!
