PPL revalidattion and hours in the US

[tonker]

Hello all

Ive been flying commercially for years, and now my very patient wife wishes to continue on with her flying dream. I only ask this question here and not in private flying as she is about to start on the road to commercial flying, and I want folk like yourselves input, not someone who’s just intending to stay as a PPL.

She has a lapsed Medical which she is in the motions of regaining, but her next step will be to go to a school and revalidate her PPL and attain a night rating. I want this to be at a more regimented type of school, and one at which she can return and hour build. I’m not sudgesting Embrey Riddle just a school that’s a bit more focused on training modular commercial students not just intending to get a PPL.

I went to the dreaded Ormond Beach which suited me fine amazingly, but I’m trying to find better than that. It’s been nearly 20 years for me and I’m completely out of touch with what the schools are like. Can anyone who’s on the commercial route give me advice about training in US for EASA PPL training and hour building ?

Regards in advance for any advice.

Yes. If she’s going all the way then a PPL is just a stepping stone. So get an FAA one.

Way more choices of school, much cheaper, much easier written, no night rating needed (it’s included).
You get the certificate issued on the spot - I did a JAR PPL and they would only let me hour build solo (no licence means you need an instructor sign off for every flight) You can add a cheap IR to it and convert it to EASA saving a fortune.
