Hi
I am looking for a school in the US to do what I always wanted to do but could not due to various personal, financial and work related reasons. I have been working as an Information Technology engineer in Tokyo's financial district for the last 11 years. I have been working in the field since 1995. I am a permanent resident of Japan and a citizen of India.
What is my immediate Goal?
1. My immediate goal is to find a good school.
2. Want to get my CPL and necessary insturment and Multi ratings.
3. Get work as a CFI to build hours in the US.
What is my Flight Experience?
1. Done some 65-70 hours in a single engine warrior P28 from Melbourne, Australia.
2. This included necessary cross country flights, solo and all the exams before my PPL.
3. Did not get time to fly down under to write my PPL exam (both practical and theory)
Some short listed schools that I found?
1. Dean International (my cousin got his license from here and now is with Kingfisher Airlines in India)
2. My cousin recommended Aviator Flight Training Academy. (He wanted to join but was a bit late in knowing about them)
3. Phoenix East Aviation.
4. Embry Riddle (however, too expensive and need to do their MS programme)
Anyone, who can suggest any schools? What are your thoughts about the above schools (Except Embry, I know its good (word of mouth) but too expensive in both time and money)
Thanks
