ground school

Don't forget instructors are not paid for ground school, so don't expect too much. Mine didn't spend time for non paid job, two minutes before the flight, two minutes after, but during the flight he was 100%.
If you are non american, from europe don't expect them to be to friendly cause there's like a small competition between EFT(JAA) and Ari Ben(FAA).
But if you are lucky you could fly with the few of them that are good, fun, and professional.

Planes don't have any auto-pilot, heater.... It was really cold this winter.

Remember, it's the cheapest school for a time builder. That's a HUGE advantage. Planes are old but most of them are safe.

Mike told you what you want to hear before you come, after I won't even say hello.
You have to manage the mood of the ladies over there, if not they will be nasty.
Mechanics are nice guys, they will help you to understand the plane.

Be prepared to work alone, to do lot of thing by yourselves.

Something very good over there: students from all over the world.
