arizona school for piggy back or full ppl

Hi All,

I hold a foreign PPL and I am looking for a school in Arizona (well actually I do not care where as long as it is on the west side of the US and weather is good) to do a piggy-back FAA PPL or new full FFA PPL if timing permits, as well as IR and multi.

I have difficulties to find my way amongst the tons of schools there, since especially I am looking for a cutomized program (due to schedule and time constraints).

Thanks for your info.

Cheers

You can start by applying the visa filter as you will require a school which can issue you the appropriate paperwork required to do the training if you are a non US citizen.

There are only a few handfuls of schools which can do that.

Justice Aviation in KSMO (Los Angeles) might be your thing. Plenty of airspace, terrain and wx to get real-world experience also in IR, but generally wx good enough to fly every day. Flown there, big fleet of very well-maintained a/c.

AFAIK they are ok to train non-US citizens, but check back with them if interested.

I would personally recommend Angel City Flyers at Long Beach.

I recommend www.aerobatics.com - Chandler airport, Arizona (near Phoenix).

Very well organised and thorough. Did the IR there in 2006.

Don't do a piggyback FAA PPL - it's a house of cards. Always do the full standalone FAA PPL if going to train in America anyway.

A fairly small player, but I did a bit of training and rental from Prescott Love field in Arizona a couple of years ago. I used SkySchool and was very impressed with the instructors, aircraft and general environment. If I was in the vicinity, I'd have no hesitation in using them again.
