I'm about to take the plunge and book myself in for an accelerated PPL course in California ... and I'm after recommendations. After reading horror stories about the few JAA schools in the US (particularly one on the West coast although I'm wondering whether the litany of complaints about it are out of date) I've decided to get an FAA licence and convert when I'm back in the UK.
I have read everything I could get my hands on about the various schools (including really useful reviews on PPRune), I've written to them all directly and set out a lovely spreadsheet with pros and cons (am quite chuffed with that ;)). One school in particular looks good to me - San Diego Sport Flyers - but I can't find any information about them on here or any other GA sites. I've also tried the BBB check but came up with nothing. Has anyone had any experience with them? They use Sportcruisers and fly from Gillespie Field. I've been impressed with their contacts so far but would really appreciate any other thoughts!
Many thanks
