Okay Lax
Weather you cannot believe, we have had for the last week Tornado warnings every day, servere Thunderstorms and huge CB's, sunshine I wish, I am grounded due to the weather being too bad, this is representative of Florida's summers.

Of course flying in the UK is not as bad as this as I have flown many times in England so I can compare the two.
EFT also have access to a brand new sim (FNPT2) as well, once you return to the UK you undertake 10 hours minimum of training.

Sims are very useful, however you cannot recreate the same feeling you get when you are flying your aircraft in real weather.
I forgot that we have horrid Hurricane in the UK and severe Flash Floods. They don't have this destructive weather in Florida do they now!!!!

You say in you first post that syrdh should consider a school in america and then say the exact opposite later on. I cannot talk for any other school, but I am being taught by JAA instructors to JAA standards. I have no compaints with the standrd of instruction here and have found the staff to be far more knowledgeable than most of their counterparts I talked to in the UK.
I am not prepared to enter further in to a slagging match over which school, or country is better for training. I am merely stateing some facts that I have come across.
If anybody wishes to ask me further questions please feel free to PM me and I will be more than happy to talk to you.
