There are a lot of good flight schools in the US, not only in Florida! Check out the links below. In general, I'd recommend to visit the flight school in person, particularly when we are talking about doing the "full program" (PPL to CPL and possibly CFI = Instructor) since we are talking about a lot of money. I mean you wouldn't be buying a 60.000$ car without test driving it, would you?


Flight Schools and pilot training information from Best Aviation Schools (general search engine for US and international flight schools)

https://atpflightschool.com/ (if you want to get your training done fast and efficient, then that's probably the place to go)

https://www.panamacademy.com/pilot-t...ns/to-faa.html (good reputation, big flight school in sunny Arizona - all year flying weather)

Flight Training | American Flyers (very good school, one of the first and oldest schools in the US with several locations across the US)

https://www.flightsafetyacademy.com/ (very good reputation, if money is not an issue)

Airplane Flight Training School | HillsboroAeroAcademy (good and big international flight schools in the Pacific NW - no sales tax in Oregon!)

https://transpacacademy.com/ (big international flight school, might be worth looking at)


If you're aiming at obtaining both licenses (US = FAA and EU = EASA) have a look at the following schools:

SAA International, flying and flight training San Diego California, how to become a pilot


Hope I could help, best whishes and lots of good luck!
