Good afternoon,

I’m currently a student pilot at East Coast (KOWD Airport next to Boston). I’m currently 50 hours into my flight training and I’m hoping to get my PPL in the following months depending on work schedule and weather. I currently hold a 1st class medical and want to become an airline pilot.
I have a few questions about your school and overall process.
1. Is there an enrollment period or can I start the training at any time?
2. Are you a part 61 or 141 school?
3. Do you provide instructor training (CFI, CFII, MEI)? If yes, what is the price?
4. Is the airport where you are located very busy, are there a lot of other flight schools operating from that airport?
5. What will be the costs of the training starting with PPL? Can you please provide a breakdown of the hourly cost of the aircraft and the instructor’s hourly rate?
6. What fleet of aircrafts do you have and how old are they?
7. Do you have senior instructors that I can choose from?
8. Do you provide housing?

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you!
