I came to White Air around the second week in April 2008 and left 5 months later. I had not soloed prior to my arrival to Kansas, now my resume contains... CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI, IGI!
I would be happy to discuss my experience with the school with anyone seriously considering taking the plunge.
The program requires some serious self motivation and self study. If you put in the time studying, 5 months for all the rating is no big deal at all. I feel I could have been done even faster if I knew then what I know now... but isn't that always the case.
Van will give you the tools to make you a good pilot. He has been to the 121 show and knows what it takes. He demands a lot from you in the air, so by making Van happy, the checkrides are a breeze. I went 7 for 7 on all checkrides {as did Andy (stormchaser)}.
The owner is a great guy. There are business owners care about the bottom line only and a student is just a source of money... this is not the case with Allen.
Few things in life are perfect, there were small hurtles along the journey. However, after completing the program, I would have done it all again.
I am currently trying to find work as a CFI as I could not stay in Chanute KS. I hope very soon and am all confident that I will qualify as a White Air success story in the years to come.
Thank you Van, Allen, Kim, Gavin, Nick, and Jacob
