Hello All

First of all, please let me say a massive thanks to all those who have taken the time to reply, please do keep them coming.

I have spoken to AT several times yesterday using their free phone number to the state (excellent idea)

From what i gather, AT is a good man and is an old school business man. A major part of his PPL(A) are young lads who think they know it all, and infact do not put in 100%.

I feel as an hour builder, this would not cause me any problems when just collecting and dropping off a PA28.

Some of the questions i asked are below:

Q. What is the distance away from the airfield allowed.
A. Anywhere in the Florida state and into georgia.

Q. What is the drawback for up loading fuel away from home airfield.
A. $3.00 per Gallon

Q. How many PA28's do you have
A. 10

Q. How many hours do i normally get in a day
A. Between 2 and 3 hours per day

Q. Can i take the aircraft away overnight.
A. Yes but there must be a minimum flying of 6 hours per 24 hours.
(MR AT advised if i book plane from 1pm to 1pm i could fly 3 hours each day)

I do have a copy of the rental agreement (17 pages) and will look over it.

I do understand that florida is boring in regards to hour builders, but at the end of the day all i want is to Build my Hours up. I know of lots of places i would like to see from the air and i think Florida is a good place to start.

If you have anymore information please do let me know, and would like to see any recent (2007 onwards) pictures

Thanks
VFR
