Ok cool,

When to my local airfield today in the UK to ask peoples opinions about florida flight schools.

Few points they raised though,

1.) Florida has great weather so will I not get used to that then come back to the UK and find it difficult? Apparantly they wont let you fly with more than a 7mph cross wind!!

2.) Florida airfields have huge tarmacced runways some 2000 metres long! Coming back to the UK I would be flying out of an 800 metre grass strip! Would that be a problem??

3.) Also someone mentioned radio out there is completely different to the UK. How long will I find it will take to get used to the uk.

Basicly people have said they teach you parrot fashion to get it all done in a short time. They say I will forget everything once I come back!!

Please help answer some of these questions.

Many, many thanks

sainty
