Most people come to Florida to do their time building and they do it locally since that is the cheapest way to do so. You do not have to pay for fuel if you return to the school. So you are limited to the distance. And yes some people mentioned that my recommendation my not be the best since you will only be exposed to Florida. Which i do tend to agree, as i said my time building was very short and the main reason for that was the face that i flew from Florida to Arizona.. Twice! That took care of a lot of hours of flying, while i was also exposed to high altitudes, mountains, bad weather, probability of icing etc. And yes i do believe that the money i spent on gas and hotels was well worth it cause it made me a much more safe pilot.
