Fishing around - FAA CPL/IR/CFI school
I've got EASA CPL with instrument and instructing qualifications, 200ish hrs instructing, 50ish hours IFR, 2000ish hrs.
I'm looking at the possibility, maybe this summer, of spending a period in the USA to do the FAA CPL, IR and CFI. Ideally I'd like to find a school that...
- Is somewhere with consistently good weather
- Is prepared to work with me to keep the amount of training sensible, not dropping standards, but not forcing me to fly through multiple standard hoops either.
- Actually reads and replies to their emails, and is prepared to have a meaningful discussion about syllabus, hours, order to do things, etc. etc.
- And obviously is appropriately qualified for the training visa.
Bonus for anywhere with nice aeroplanes to fly rather than a standard decrepit C172.
Can anybody recommend anywhere I should talk to. I've followed up a few contacts but nothing's jumping out to me as ideal yet.
