Question
Hello Ismar
I'm here again to ask u a question. Now i've decided upon two flight schools, Pan Am flight academy and flight safety academy but i want to complete my commercial pilot training asap. Flight safety academy takes around 8 months and Pan Am takes around 5-6 months. So i jus want to know goin with Pan Am will be wise decision or not.

Answer
Hi Rakshit,
Pam Am International flight academy is good choice. Although Pam is almost specialized for simulator training and type rating training. As you can see from their web site their primary trainig is actually type ratings in different regional and airliners. Link

also suggest commercial flight training in C152 with 225 hrs.  What I am saying againg is Pan Am is good professional training facility as they priority may be with simulator type ratings. They do have huge number of flight simulators, as well as Flight Safety and that makes good base for an new pilot.
