So, you've got your DCA approval letter and passed your medical check-up, now you are ready to enroll into a flying academy to live the dream you've always wanted to.

Here are the IMPORTANT things that you NEED to have in mind

1. Money - most flying schools now are charging around the RM 250k mark and will increase in future
   
2. Aircraft fleet and flying instructors - check if they have sufficient in both of these with the amount of cadets they're currently having
3. Facilities - simulators etc.
   

These are less important than what I explained above and for me are just plus points if you got them. But flying schools are actually advertising it like it's the main reason you must join them.

1. Comfortable classes for ground school
2. Delicious food
   
3. Comfortable accommodation for cadets
4. Facilities such as library, gym, swimming pool etc.

So, don't be fool with false and bias advertisement, check the school out first and ask the cadets for current progress in the flying school (especially delays in flying, they usually will tell the truth). As you know, businessmen would say anything to please their future customers and that includes lies.
