Hello Captain SZ,
I did all my Flight Training at DAB. I was there flying for a full 3 years. I was not at Riddle although I use to go there every day just to use their PCs.Riddle training is good but very expensive. I did it on the other side of the field (self sponsored). It is a much nicer atmosphere over there at the Phil Air Flight Centre. Just a nice smaller school. Another FBO on the airfield is Phoenix East Aviation - a much larger school but again, more expensive. The small school (Phil Air Flight Centre) has less restrictions and is a bit more relaxed. I would recommend that u go there if u wanna save money. Example: C152 can be hired for about $45 and can go down more if u buy in bulk!
If u have any more questions, give me a shout.
