Marpoo,
I'll be going to FlightSafety Academy in November or December of this year on an M-1 visa. Go to
www.flightsafetyacademy.com and check it out. Great place!! Second to none!! I would highly recommend that you take a visit....Oz is a long way from Florida but they will apply up to $500us from your flight towards the tuition. Once you see it in person you will be VERY, VERY impressed. At least request the brochure. Call 1-800-800-1411.
They have a J-1 visa program as well. You do your licences and ratings (PPL-CPL-ME-IFR-CFI-CFII) in a year and work for a year as an Instructor Pilot. 100 plane fleet of which 30 are multi-engine senecas/seminoles. 2 fuel trucks. On campus accomodations that is reasonably priced ($12/night shared to $22/night single in US dollars of course). Hurricanes...another story. Very professional environment. Very structured program.
Hope this helps.
