I did my PPL , UK one in the USA at a Florida school, completed it along with 3 others at the time in a C150 , including all ground exams, 50 hrs of flying in 2 weeks and 13 days including .
Dont listen to all the negative stuff about the USA, just do it, all schools have good things and bad things, how often do we go into Tescos and get peeved at the service. We dont complain on a forum about it though, so why should people getting away with talking about flight schools in the Uk or out of it in the same way...if you listened to all the whingers on pprune you would never leave the ground. I think that pprune is full of bitter and twisted people who have either A) never passed their tests and exams B) have paid all the money only to find their personality kills their chances of getting a pilot position, or C) people that fit into both these categories!!
