If you will be training in Orlando, check with the school to see how they are working under the Class B Airspace. There are special restrictions for operating under Class B Airspace due to Sept. 11 Attacks. One of the restrictions being no student solo flights in or under Class B Airspace which is the airspace of Orlando. I am sure that they have organized ways around this restriction.

Nah, this NOTAM has been out a few days now.

FLIGHT TRAINING OPERATIONS (SEE DEFINITION) WITHIN "ENHANCED CLASS B AIRSPACE", EXCEPT THE BOSTON "ENHANCED CLASS B AIRSPACE" AREA AND EXCEPT FOR OPERATIONS WITHIN THE NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON DC TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTION AREAS, VFR FLIGHT TRAINING OPERATIONS AND SUPERVISED STUDENT SOLO OPERATIONS ARE AUTHORIZED FOR SINGLE AND MULTI-ENGINE NON-TURBOJET POWERED, NON-POWERED, AND ROTOR DRIVEN PISTON POWERED AIRCRAFT WITH A MAXIMUM CERTIFICATED TAKEOFF GROSS WEIGHT OF 6000 POUNDS OR LESS.

I just LUV it when I catch the instructors out especially the gimmes.
