I can recommend EFT, I did my CPL there in 2005. First class instructors,and a nice place to train. I stayed at a trailer park exactly one mile from the airport, I think it was around $500 for the month. A mile is not far, but after a hard days flying the walk is a bit of a bind. Go to Walmart and you can buy a very nice mountain bike for around $35, Dump it in a hedge when you are finished. The first half of the CPL is no problem as you will be flying C172's, there are around 10 of them and so availability is not an issue, However when I was there they only had one Arrow which was usually booked and occasionaly tech. I think I heard that they have an extra one now, but you should check. One piece of advice if you don't mind, if you don't have any complex time at present you need to budget for more than the 5 hours that they quote. I had around 40hrs complex time before I arrived there but even so 5hrs was not enough. If you choose to go make sure you spend every lunchtime in the Tikki, the food & women are outstanding, Good Luck.
