Flight School is Fun in Florida

You know how hard your flight training is going to be. You will be devoting 2 + years of your life to the most grueling and intensive schooling you can imagine. We don’t have to keep reminding you about this. Today, we want to point out the fun part of a flight training school – and why it makes a lot of sense to get your flight training in Florida.

Florida has a sub-tropical climate with long summers and short, mild winters. It is perfect for year-round outdoor activities. The average median temperate in central Florida is 75 degrees and the skies are clear and sunny about 280 days out of the year. The good weather allows you to log more flying hours faster, get your degree quicker and be on your way sooner to an aviation career.

The state is abundant with diversity. From Key West to Pensacola, there is variety everywhere you look. It is the fourth largest state in the United States with a population of over 18 million people. It has a total coastline of 1,197 statute miles.

The beaches are spectacular. Florida has three of the best beaches in the country, according to National Geographic Magazine. Flight training schools that are right next to the beach like Aviator College in Ft. Pierce and schools in Daytona Beach give flight students a great respite from all the hard work and studying.

The attractions in Florida are endless. There is the NASA Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. It is the nation’s gateway to exploring, discovering and understanding the universe.

Orlando has been called the tourist destination of the world. It is the home of Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld and Walt Disney World Resort. Perhaps the most interesting attraction for flight training students at Walt Disney World is EPCOT Center. The park is dedicated to international culture and technological innovation. The name Epcot comes from the acronym EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow), a utopian city of the future and a showcase to the world for the ingenuity and imagination of American free enterprise.

Recreation and exercise are also important for a flight training student. A flight student needs to be in good shape mentally and physically – and Florida is the best place in the world to stay in shape mentally and physically.

If you like golf, you will like Florida. Florida has more golf courses than any other state in the country – over 1,200 public and private courses. There is swimming, tennis, jogging and health clubs galore. There is water skiing, snorkeling, scuba diving and surfing. In 2009, fishing was a $6 billion industry in Florida, employing 60,000 jobs for sporting and commercial purposes.
