Florida flight schools
HI everybody!
I'm Italian with U.S.A. passport and i'm going to attend a flight school in Florida.I'm going to obtain all licences necessary to work.
Last month i flight to states and i visited Naples Air Center (I didn't have a good impression), Delta Connection Academy and Phoenix East Aviation.

Thanx Francesco

Before you do anything, think about what your goal is! Do you want to find a job in Europe?
Then Delta and Phoenix east are no good for you due to the fact that they don't offer JAA training.
OFT offer JAA flight training and are good, but that's just my personal experience.
NAC offer JAA groundschool but no JAA training, wel they do offer, but canot give JAA training as for the moment, maybe it wil be fixed later this year.
But to enter the JAA ATPL course wich is being given at NAC you only need the FAA PPL wich is an ICAO PPL and they do train for that at NAC. So, if you want to do all your training in the US, you could go to NAC, do your FAA PPL en then the JAA ATPL fulltime residential groundschool at NAC, en then go to OFT, get you M1 visa changed to them, and continue you flighttraining with them! As to say, your FAA IR, JAA CPL and JAA Multi engine ratings.
Then you wil only need to do a conversion course back in Europe (UK) at stapleford, exeter, or where ever you want to do it.
This is just a possibility, you can also do the whole thing via OFT/CABAIR wich in my opinion gives you a good deal as wel!
anyway, my 2 cents

I got my PPL at Naples Air Center in 2004. My experience there was great, they supported me through every step through the course. Since then I have been back 4 times and plan on going there again this year.
I am yet to find a fault with them.
PM me if you want to ask me any questions about them.

florida flight training
hi all,
Just turned 32,with a PPL i have had for 8 years and a total of 110hrs.
loved every minute of it,but it's too expensive in the uk.
I have got my class one booked for late october at Gatwick,and
hope next year to go to Florida.
First question,
At 32 is this higher than the average age to start training for an ATPL.
also, has anyone trained at or know of Pheonix East Aviation
in Florida.
They seem to be the cheapest for the package being offered.
Cheers

cpl training in the u.s.a
after seeing the prices in the u.k at places such as oxford aviation, i decided to look for an alternative!
my questions are:
1) Is training in the states worth anything? meaning after doing a course in the states do the u.k airlines give it the same credit as the british schools.
2) If they are worth anything, wich ones???
thank's very much for any replys

It is worth remembering that whilst the JAA set MINIMUM requirements for converting US licences to JAA licences, very few people will get by without doing 5 - 10 extra multi hours to obtain their IR. This is because the environment is so different.
10 hours will set you back a minimum of £3500.

Don't forget £29-30k is the cost of the course....added extras such as flights over, TSA/SERVIS and visa fee's and exam fee's may not be included to it's worth checking them out. There are some which do include some of the fee's but shop around. I would say add another £5k just to be on the safe side of things

Well so far had 3 mates do it and all in the minimum 15hrs.
One at Tayflight, one at Bournemouth and not 100% sure wth 3rd but think he used Leeds.
Definitely a viable option.

Some of the more savvy schools make the transition a bit easier as well by having "relationships" with their US counterparts and a commonality of training standards which makes things to a degree seamless on return to the UK. Grab a copy of the various pilot magazines and check out the back pages and you will see a few of them advertised there.
