I was out at OFT in March and the experience was ok although i was not overly impressed.

I upgraded to the Piper Warrior to do my PPL as the Cessna's really had seen better days and there was no way i wanted to die in a light aircraft. The cadets are fine aswell i flew one of them a few days when the Warrior was not available.

The attitude of the staff was quite poor i thought although my instructor (Nihar) was very good. It seemed as though no one had any time for you accept when they were taking your money.

The facilities were ok i guess and the hotel i stayed in was excellent. The apartments were in quite bad condition so i heard which is why i chose the Best Western which was about 20-25 mins walk away.

Overall i would'nt personally go back to that particular school but flying in Florida is great. Always book more time than is reccommended as i could'nt complete my PPL due to the aweful weather which hung around for around a week and a half!!!!
