European renting in Palo Alto / San Carlos
As an European EASA PPL holder, I hope to get my FAA piggyback license next month. I'd like to do some renting and flying in Bay Area, most probably out of Palo Alto or San Carlos.
Any suggestions from where to rent in that area and on a specific instructor, who might be accommodating to a less than 100 hours foreign PPL? Someone who has an instructor who would get an European up to speed on US flying and radio communications? Probably I'd like to take some flights along the coast and do a Bay Area tour once or twice. It could initially include an instructor and then some flights on my own with friends.
Anything to keep in mind coming from Europe? Something to read or learn in advance? Some good materials for the transition?
Additionally, are there any rentals at Half Moon Bay? I guess it would be much less busy than KPAO.
Also, any suggestions on aerobatic training in the area? Decathlon/Citabria would be OK.
Thanks!
