PPL in the States

when the original poster gets back to us with the city his nephew will return via , we can give better advice.

I THINK FLORIDA sucks for flight training.

North Dakota has a good system for flight training with their university, but it is a bit cold in the winter.

so, let's wait and find out where the good doctor will be headed

Florida really sucks for basic flight training: It is all flat and at sea level, weather is too nice,

Sure, weather is too nice
In case you never heard even if you are working on your IFR ticket you need good weather.

BTW, for someone who hates flat terrain Arizona certainly has beautiful landscape and very favorable weather for flight training, even USAF has extensive flight training facilities there. Embry Riddle aviation university is in Prescott, Az.

So, I'm another who posted up thread querying the Florida option and travelling over there for a few weeks. Well I decided to just get on with it and get back into training at home (Berkshire) instead, after a long break.


It's immediately clear to me why people have the opinion that the best location to train is in the country you're likely to continue flying in. I'm already being challenged with the peculiarities of the UK in terms of weather, controlled airspace and terrain.


I'll be continuing here in the UK for sure.

It cannot be immediately clear to you, given that you have no experience training in any other environment?

After good training, flying in any other environment is a non-issue. UK airspace requires absolutely no special training to be proficient there, no matter where you get your license, as long as you have done your homework during basic training.
