Hi Captain Tc,
I know how frustrating it is doing a ppl here in the uk, with the weather(wx) being crap and if its not the weather then the aircraft going tech (mx)
.
I started my training last summer and knew what to expect as im ex airline (flt ops) i have decided to finish my training in florida the school that im going to is a CAA approved i.e once completed i will issued a JAA CAA licence.
Again florida like any where in the world suffers from bad weather but is half the price of me doing it in Ireland.
you will also pick up cheap headsets/ flight bags/ knee boards etc over there for half the price you pay here.
best of luck with the training
