When you choose a flight school to attend, they generally give you the first available instructor on their list.  That instructor may be experienced, but more often than not that instructor is relatively new and hasn’t had the time to build up a substantial list of clients.

Having the right flight instructor is much more important than having the best flight school.  An awful instructor with the best equipment is still an awful instructor.  How you turn out as a pilot directly reflects on your instructor.

For those of you who would prefer to handpick your instructor based on their experience, background or hobbies, then check out the list of instructors on this page, and choose the instructor that you believe would best fit your needs.
