Florida intensive JAA
Evening all,
A search on prune for thoughts in intensive JAA course in Florida reveals mostly a lot of personal bitching, so I thought I'd ask for some thoughts afresh.
First hour of flying done and it's something I'd like to pursue. Choices, as you know, are either to do it in this country, spend upwards of 5k and take two years to do it thanks to weather and other complicating factors, or do it in the US in three weeks, spend around half as much.
So here are the questions I'd appreciate some thoughts on:
If I sign up for one of these 21-day jobbies, what are the chances of me actually finishing the course in that time?
What are the chances of the bill at the end being substantially (say, $500 or more) higher than the original quote?
Is it worth doing ground school and exams first, and making the Florida stay entirely practical?
Finally, of course, has anyone reading this actually done an intensive course, and if so, what did they think and what would they do differently if they did it again?
Cheers,
Dave.
