As a current student of OFT, i thought it appropriate to report on whats going on there NOW. I too got the email about lack of instructors, and in 3 weeks ive done 15hrs towards my PPL. Although i am doing well, going solo in 2 lessons time. Met JP a couple of times, he seems ok from what ive seen. A lot of students have, shall we say 'billing issues' from their accounts. But i guess as long as you check your balance and query anything thats not correct then nothing should go wrong. There are loads of indian students, but the whole place has just been split into two parts. One building on the west of the airport is now for all the FAA students, and the old building next to the kissimmee airport terminal is for the JAA students. I lost a week of training because of this change, my original instructor was being moved to the JAA side, and as my PPL is FAA, i had to change. apart from that, im doing well. Staying with family so no accomodation needs which is one less hassle. Some students on the same course as me are STILL in the $50 a night hotel due to a shortage of student accomodation.
