Decent club to hire from:

Suncoast Flying Services at Clearwater have been good to me for a few summers and had a twin last time I was there

Good places to fly to with beaches....

Cedar Key a must ( practice a short field ldg but it isn't that short really)
Also Venice - and go to Sharky's on the pier for lunch.

Both about an hours flying form Clearwater.


BFR is no snags with a little preparation. Maybe a little more than a good read on the flight over! As I mentioned in previous post (sorry I was at "work") Guide to BFR - Jackie Spanitz ASA reference ASA-OEG-BFR is a good ol refresher available in UK. That and a chart will be plenty of revision material.
Your hour in the air will be the ususal club check and the hour on the ground will almost certainly cover airspace types and requirements, vis minimums, patterns, dialling 1-800 wx brief!

If you want I can email you a handy tip for remembering FAA vis minima in all types of airspace

Enjoy
