WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I GET THERE TO TAKE THE CLASS?
IF YOU ARE TAKING THE FULL CLASS, (GEN, AF AND PP), AND HAVE NOT DONE YOUR WRITTENS, YOU WILL INSTANTLY START STUDYING AND TAKING PRACTICE TESTS UNTIL YOU'RE READY FOR THE PSI TEST SITE. HOPEFULLY YOU'VE BEEN STUDYING AHEAD OF TIME. ONCE YOU PASS YOUR PSI TESTS (WRITTENS), YOU INSTANTLY GO INTO STUDYING YOUR ORAL QUESTIONS. WE WILL DO "MOCK" ORALS WITH YOU ALSO. DURING THIS SECOND WEEK, WE WILL HELP YOU WITH ALL OF YOUR HANDS-ON PRACTICALS. IN SHORT, STUDY AND MEMORIZE......
I'VE ALREADY TAKEN MY WRITTENS, SO WHAT DO I DO?
THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO GO! WE WILL SCHEDULE YOU FOR A 1 WEEK CLASS WHERE YOU MEMORIZE THE ORAL QUESTIONS WHILE WE WORK WITH YOU ON THE HANDS-ON PORTION. THE COST FOR A 1 WEEK CLASS IS 875.00 PLUS THE DME FEE (700.00 CASH FOR ALL 3). BRING YOUR PSI TEST RESULTS!
WHEN DO I ACTUALLY TEST WITH THE DME?
ONCE YOU HAVE PASSED WHATEVER WRITTEN TESTS YOU NEED TO PASS, THEN WE SEND YOUR PASSING SCORES TO THE DE, THEN HE WILL PUT YOU IN THE SYSTEM WHICH WILL TELL HIM WHAT YOUR PRACTICALS WILL BE. YOU MUST PASS ORALS BEFORE YOU CAN START THE PRACTICALS.
THE DME ONLY TESTS 2 STUDENTS A DAY STARTING ON FRIDAY-SUNDAY. THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WE KEEP A SMALL CLASS SIZE. IF YOU ARE FLYING IN, PLEASE DON'T PLAN TO DEPART UNTIL SUNDAY! THIS IS DUE TO HOW THE DME WILL NEED TO SCHEDULE THE APPLICANTS. REMEMBER HE ONLY ACCEPTS CASH! 700.00 FOR ALL 3. IF YOU'RE ONLY DOING ONE IT'S $250, IF YOU'RE TAKING TWO, IT'S $500 ETC.
EXAMPLE: I ONLY WANT GENERAL AND AIRFRAME. THE COST WILL BE 500 TO THE DME EXAMPLE: I ONLY NEED TO ADD EITHER POWERPLANT OR AIRFRAME, THE COST WILL BE 250 TO THE DME
HOW DO I GET SCHEDULED AND PAY?
JUST CALL US AT 833-AEROPRO WE WILL PUT YOU ON THE SCHEDULE, THEN YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INVOICE VIA EMAIL TO PAY.
WHAT ARE THE CLASS TIMES?
SINCE IT IS A SELF GUIDED COURSE WHERE YOU WILL BE STUDYING ON YOUR OWN A LOT, OUR CLASS TIMES ARE LOOSELY BASED AROUND 8:00 TO 3:30. MOST ALL STUDENTS STUDY AT NIGHT AS WELL.
WHAT SHOULD I BE STUDYING BEFORE I GET THERE?
THIS IS THE BEST QUESTION! STUDY THE ASA PREPWARE APP FOR ANDROID/PHONE ($10.00) ONCE YOU ARRIVE YOU WILL USE OUR DAUNTLESS SYSTEM WHICH IS THE MORE IN-DEPTH SOFTWARE.
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
PLEASE CALL 833-AEROPRO, ASK FOR WHITNEY. IF SHE CAN'T ANSWER THEM, SHE WILL FORWARD YOU TO BEN PONDER OR HAROLD TAYLOR. ONE OF US WILL CALL YOU PERSONALLY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS AS SOON AS WE CAN. IF YOU GET THE VOICEMAIL, PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AS WE ARE BUSY THESE DAYS! WE WILL RETURN YOUR CALL!
WHAT SHOULD I BRING WITH ME WHEN I START THE CLASS?
YOU MUST BRING YOUR SIGNED 8610-2 FROM THE FAA. BRING YOUR WRITTEN TEST RESULTS FROM YOUR PSI TESTS. ALSO HAVE A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE WITH CURRENT ADDRESS. WHATEVER ELSE YOU STUDY WITH, LAPTOP, SMART PHONE ETC. DON'T FORGET YOUR CHARGERS FOR YOUR DEVICES!
WHAT DO I WEAR?
WEAR ANYTHING YOU'RE COMFY IN, BUT THE SECOND WEEK I WOULD WEAR SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T MIND GETTING DIRTY!
WHAT IF I FAIL A SECTION OR PART OF IT?
WE HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HAPPENS TO THE UNDERPREPARED AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T STUDY BEFORE THEY ARRIVE, OR ENOUGH ONCE THEY GET HERE. AS FAR AS AEROPRO CLASS FEES, THEY ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, BUT YOU CAN COME BACK FOR FREE TUTORING IN YOUR WEAK AREAS FOR UP TO ONE YEAR. IF YOU ACTUALLY TEST WITH THE DME AND FAIL, HE WILL CHARGE A RE-TEST FEE, TO BE DETERMINED BY HIM. ALSO, YOU WILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO THIS AREA TO RE-TEST WITH HIM AT A LATER DATE. THE ODDS ARE IN YOUR FAVOR, AS ONLY ABOUT 1 IN 20 DO NOT COMPLETE WHAT THEY CAME FOR.
ARE THERE GROUP DISCOUNTS?
NO, BECAUSE OF OUR SMALLER CLASS SIZES WE DO NOT OFFER ANY GROUP DISCOUNTS
