      There are many factors one should take into consideration when selecting an aviation flight school. We are commonly asked a number of specific questions that our potential clients ask us when considering flight training out of Chicago Midway Airport.

       We are commonly asked:

1. Q: Isn't Midway to busy for flight training?
   A: The fact is that Chicago Midway is one of the busiest airports of its Class (Class C Airspace) in the World, in fact it is approximately the 14th busiest airport in the World. The level of experience gained from learning at an airport of this caliber can only be learned through years of flying experience at busy airports. Here at Midway you learn to deal with this level of professionalism from the beginning. So if you are truly dedicated and really want to learn in one of the most professional flight training environments in the world, Midway is it. Learning how to fly out of Midway will enable you to fly to any airport in the world without fear.
2. Q: Because Midway is so busy will it take me much longer to finish training.
   A: The answer is NO! First, here at Midway there are a total of 5 runways. The majority of the flights at Midway use only 2 of the 5 runways, drastically reducing the traffic using the remaining 3 parallel runways. Secondly, we have very little wait time on the ground, because of the extra parallel runways available to us; in addition our parking position is almost at the center of the air field (the control tower tie down area) therefore we can get to any of the 5 runways easily. Third, statistically our students finish their flight training in the same amount of time a prescribed by the national average statistics. The fact is that we do not cut corners to meet better than average statistics; we at Chicago Midway Aviators feel that we have to customize our training to make each individual pilot a SAFE and well knowledge pilot. "What ever it takes!"
3. Q: Doesn't it take more time to get the practice area flying out of Midway, and will it cost me more money because of that.
   A: Speaking with an experienced FAA Certified Flight Instructor with thousands of flight hours of experience in dozens of aircraft, you will find your self asking this question or are in the frame of mind that training begins at the practice area, where ever that might be, I strongly recommend that you reevaluate your desire to become a pilot! Please understand that learning how to fly an airplane (the flight lesson) begins before you even see the plane. There are so many things that you need to learn just getting to the flight practice area.
