Brian,

Around Atlanta you can find dozens of places to fly. Many of them are probably pretty busy. I wouldn't wait too long to set something up. If you head out of town a bit you'll find the prices cheaper. I'd stay away from PDK unless you want to pay for a lot of taxi time!

I assume you are no longer instrument current as well. You might want to find a CFII and suggest "let's do some IFR refresher training flights together with the goal of completing an instrument proficiency check and Flight Review* along the way." Maybe even a 50nm night cross country...

You'll need to make it somewhat worthwhile for the instructor and show your competence.

Budget - $200/hour flying and $60/hour ground - I'd bet three of each.

*Putting my pedantic hat on, the term "Biennial Flight Review/BFR" has been deprecated since 1997. The FAA, in writing, prefers the term Flight Review...

Good luck!

Terry
