Hej Tholin,
I thought UK Flight Training at Long Beach California, near to LA, was well worth it. Check out their web site at www.ukft.com
If you want more information, tell me your email address.

Hi again. As I said can't comment on specific fixed wing schools but I can highly recommend Long Beach as a training base. 95% of my flight time has been from there. It is a large and relatively busy airport but the tower staff are well used to dealing with students from all over the world and are generally very patient. You will get good experience of flying in and around some of the busiest airspace in the world - makes everywhere else seem easy afterwards. Also the general area is relatively safe and inexpensive, San Diego is more upmarket and the accomadation and living expense increase accordingly. If you do choose LGB I can recommend accomadation, subject to his acceptaance, for around $100 a week for own room with ensuite facilites and full use of his home. Email me for details.

Only two spring to mind but neither are JAA/CAA approved at the moment (but they are both in or around San Diego)
Skyline Flight Academy www.skyline-flight-academy.com
Scandinavian Flight Academy www.scanavia.com
This one is approved by SAS for JAR-FCL ATP-integrated flight training (not much use to us but it may mean that they are ripe for CAA approval)
For a full list of JAA/CAA approved schools go to:-

Try Mazzei flying service in Fresno California
I did and was impressed
they are situated in the valley area ,which can suffer from fog but generally is good for vfr stuff
they have a healthy fleet of pipers cessnas twins and singles
they have their own hangars and maintenance
they have professional study cubicles videos tape audio visual training
they are approved by the faa 121
thay do helis too
Fresno is about half way between san fran and LA
Jim Brannan is the owner and is easy to get along with
they used to supply accomadation and a bike for transport
well good luck
Im on my second commercial job 737s now
I am lucky ,but the training helped enormously
best wishes and good luck the industry will pick up again

Never been to California but a promoter's game is the same anywhere.
Whether or not UKFT is rubbish, AMS is selling his/her place, with the just e-mail me trick. Is the moderator dead or implicated?

Re: JAA flight training California
You've already asked this question.
Do you intend doing ANY research of your own or just hammering away at Pprune asking people to make the decision for you?
If you would start just a tad of research you'll find that UKFT are not a JAA approved school.

Re: JAA flight training California
I think u will find this is research. asking people for opinions or recommendations is not asking for people to make decisions for me it is known as making an informed decision based on the infomation available to you.
At no time have i asked for a decision to be made for me nor do i want that. I have already carried out months of research but peoples honest opinions isnt something you can get from the schools websites.
I think a little less sarcasm may be a little more helpful in the future.
<<edit: "asking people for opinions or recommendations" is quite a good idea - but why twice in just 1hr 45minutes?
If you think that I was being sarcastic and unhelpful in THAT, I have a button here that would make your "research" much harder.
As Scroggs has come on (later) and also advised the use of the search facility, I can only assume that (all) your comments are also directed at him.>>

My detailed response was edited to show just the first and last lines.
Just so you know that you should call flight schools yourselves and make your own decisions rather than relying on a forum, which may edit certain replies.
Best of luck, Abeam MCT
