Bristow Academy

Hey guys,

I am off in May to do my PPL in Bristow (HAI). I am looking at giving myself 2 months to get my FAA PPL and hopeful build in a few hours after I qualify.
I have already done 15 hours in Ireland in a Schweizer but I had to switch over to FAA because my eyesight let me down in the medical (I had the laser)
Anyway before I hand over my non refundable booking deposit of $3,000, quit my job and head over is there anything I should know about?

I feel 2 months is enough to pass the exams & checkride. Bristow is reliable at getting the job done (depending on the student of course) and I will only pay as I fly. I think I have everything covered but Im just making a final check before I part with my hard earned cash.

Any other issues I missed would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys
