I have never heard of it but it does look legitimate. Arcola is a nice airport or Houston Southwest as it is called now. No matter what school you decide to take your lessons do not, I repeat do not lay down a large sum of money hoping to go from zero time to commercial pilot. What if they go out of business before you complete your training? It has happened to many pilots in the past at different schools around the US. Pay as you go one hour at a time and then after you get a private license and you want to buy a block of 5-10 hours for a discount you will have a better feeling about how stable the company is. You really aren't going to save that much money buying a package deal for your training. If you are a slow learner you will be charged more in a package deal and if you are a fast learner you will give the school your money and they benefit.

Let me repeat what Ozzie said because it is so important: DO NOT pay in full up front for the entire cost of any flight training program at ANY school. The personal financial risk you take is not worth the slightly lower rate. Silver State Helicopters is a dramatic example of what can happen to students that pay in full up front. Look them up and read some of the stories about them. Some 2500 students had taken out $70K loans and paid it all to the school, and when the school went bankrupt they had no way to get their money back or complete their training. The school you picked looks fine, but even the slightest chance that something could happen and cost you tens of thousands of dollars is not worth it. It could even be the case that your own circumstances change and you do not wish to continue, or you need to move to a different school. No matter what, you don't want them holding onto all of your money. Pay as you go. I also recommend searching on pilot forums. They will be much more likely to have members that have personal experience with any given flight school. http://www.pprune.org/ http://www.jetcareers.com/ http://airlinepilotcentral.com/ Good luck!

If I am a Russian citizen, with a Canadian Visitor Visa, with return flight through the USA, do I need a visa
If I am a Russian citizen, with a Canadian Visitor Visa, with return flight through the USA, do I need a visa?
I am visiting my daughter in Canada, and have a return flight through Houston, back to Russia. As a Russian citizen, spending no more than 5 hours in the Houston airport, do I require a transit visa?

Probably not, but just to be safe, I'd contact the Embassy for requirements.

You do need a visa - C-1, which allows direct and continuous travel through the United States.

How long is a flight to Iraq from Houston, TX
How long is a flight to Iraq from Houston, TX?

Depends on what you're flying. Book a flight and it will tell you. I just tried, out of curiosity, and had no luck booking a flight.
2 :
Um, there aren't any direct flights, and I don't think that regular passenger service to Iraq has even started. But with stopovers and such, it would be somewhere around 24 hours.
3 :
first you fly to Chicago, then to Europe, probably Heathrow, from there to Doha, then to Baghdad. So figure out how long each of these flights lasts, then add layover - and you have your answer. Unless you are talking about the government-paid shuttle, then I can't help you.
4 :
search a flight on expedia it'll tell you your options and travel time

Is it wise to stay awake the night before a 15 hour flight
Is it wise to stay awake the night before a 15 hour flight?
I'm leaving on the 22nd flying to Hong Kong. I'm flying from Gulfport, MS to Houston, TX at 6:00am...at 10:45 I leave Houston to Tokyo which is a 15 hour flight. Then another 4 hour flight to Hong Kong. I would LOVE to sleep most of the flight from Houston to Tokyo. I'm planning on taking a 1mg xanax..They usually knock me out when I'm at home but not so much on a plane. I'm just too edgy on flights. Would it be wise to stay up the night before?

I think you shoud get enough sleep as much as possible... If you missed one sleep you are may not may not able to replace it by sleep longer hours or taking a nap in the day time. So why tourture yourself... Just sleep whenever you feel like it and get plenty of rest.
2 :
you can- it would make you a lot more tired during the flights. But just watch out afterwards your immune system is taken care of so you don't wareout your body after the flight.
3 :
Why not..you may want to check out some clubs to enjoy yourself but be cool on your alchohol...
4 :
I would stay up, just so I would sleep on the planes.

I always stay up the night before I take a long flight. It makes it a lot easier to sleep on the plane. I also recommend stretching between naps. Go to the area near the toilets. The flight attendants have jump seats there that are usually folded up. It's a good area for stretching. You don't want to be stiff when you get off the flight. I didn't stretch the first time I flew on a 15 hour flight and my legs were stiff for days. It's also a good idea to try to spend the week before you leave adjusting to the time you will be on when you go overseas. You are less likely to have jet lag that way.

i dont know just make sure you get enough sleep to make you look like you are sane enough to fly or they will not let you fly
