I have contacted a couple of schools in the USA, Florida and they have quoted me an average price of 130k for the PPL this includes about 50 hours on a Cessna 172. Problem is 130k + accomodation + ticket fare + visa and security clearance fees it is more or less the same or am I mistaken or was I quoted a higher price? Am I missing something here?

Also, having obtained a PPL overseas I have to convert it to a local HK one. I am not satisfied with just a piece of paper that says that I have a PPL, I actually want to be able to atleast once a month. So my question comes up again, is there any HKAC member here that can provide further info on what the actual things look like on the inside.

They have slot machines? Cool! Are their aircraft not well maintained? Well I visited them in Kai Tak and their Helicopters looked to be maintained quite well and clean. Again am I missing anything here?

Sorry but I just need some answers and not more questions because it is indeed a big investment to make and I want some suggestions in order to make the right choice. Thanks again!
