Well I'm looking to take the 4/5 weeks off work in either start of summer 08 or end of summer 08 and get the FAA PPL done. I'm looking at the US FTO's due to the exchange rate and the speed of getting through the course.

However I am struggling to find any US FTO with a safe record?!?

All 4 JAA US schools are having bad reports on aircraft safety
(EFT/OBA/OFT/NAC) on pprune.

We don't seem to hear about AC incidents as much from UK schools, But thanks to Gordon Brown the only reason I'm looking at the US is due to costs. Otherwise I'd happily plough my money into a UK FTO

(I mention JAA FTO's as I'd like to go back 12 after (having the ATPL's under my belt) and tackle the FAA IR & CPL and convert my CPL in one go).
