To find the "right" FTO in the US is kinda....

......hard!

I've spent the past three months probably surfing the net, searching on google, pprune threads etc....

I'd want to gain my PPL CPL and fATPL ab-initio in the US, mainly because the costs for the same training are close to double in Austria.

I feel like I've seen 200 FTO websites in the past week, and they all claim to be highly professional and "the best" in the industry.

I've had a good search on pprune (not too easy as "US" is not a qualified search term... ) for similar threads, but didn't really find one suiting my needs.

Here's the question.......
How do / (did?) you decide for a FTO in the US if you do not have any license so far? What should make the difference as they all seem to be "the same"?

Btw,
would you recommend training at a school doing JAA training already or should I get the conversion course after completion? What makes more sense for a European?

Thanks a lot in advance
