Hi everyone,
Been reading Pprune for a few days and its finally time to post!
I'm from India and looking at going to USA for a professional pilot program.
There are so many many different schools and you hear horror stories about many, some much more than others!
Not that these are the final list, but some that seem reasonable to be. Any information or recommendations or warnings on any of these would be appreciated!
US Flight Academy - Denton, Texas
Sunrise Aviation - Florida
Riverside Flight Academy - Tulsa (I heard this is where 200 Chinese students went, so others suffered. Is this still true etc?)
Ormond Beach Aviation (website says the course is about USD 30k. Is that right? Seems cheap compared to the others. I bet I'm missing something! :)) I can't find their email address on the site; does anyone know it?
Any other schools that are recommended for foreigners which have good instructor to student ratio and are honest etc? All the typical things! :)
I don't mind anywhere in USA..
Thanks in advance! :)
