It is possible, but as Autoland says get all of the multiple choice ground exam answers in your head before you go get as much info on the a/c type you'll be flying, so you know all the numbers by heart. I had a great time at Redbird, Dallas in 1980/81 with an English company called Curzon Flight. They specialised in taking Europeans,mostly from the UK, over and sending them back with a PPL in 3 weeks. They sent us all of the manuals on the Tomahawk, ground exams etc abour 2 months before we flew over.
Great bunch of guys.. they knew how to push you..and how to party!! Thanks Chuck Holmes & DickThurbin.
I finished my PPL in 2 weeks 1 day and spent the rest of the time hiring out the Dakota for visits to Kerrvile, home of the Mooney, and South Fork.
Good Luck rziola and whatever happens enjoy it.
