hi benoss
i went to PEA at KDAB...well the school is a standard average school with average low hours pilots.
the airspace is busy and it does take a long time to get of the ground. remember embry riddle is sited at KDAB along with another couple of schools, regional and busniess jet traffic its gets quite busy.
the ATC services are very well organised and truly indicative of good IR training environment.
the school is quite busy which is nice, and the despatch girls are/were great and very friendly.
pm me for further info
ps...
i wouldnt recommend PPL training there though character building i found it ook too long.
if u do go there or anyone else is there drop me aline and tell me how things have changed over the last year
