Stop posting in capitals - it looks like you're yelling at us.

Wink wink, nod nod, say no more, say no more....

In Florida I think its just:

Ormond Beach Aviation

Naples Air Center
or
Orlando Flight Training.

You are aware that you can't complete the JAA IR in the USA right?

If cost is a big problem then you could also try looking at some cheaper JAA countries, maybe Spain for example?

Try not to choose your training provider on cost alone, schools that seem cheap now may cost you a lot more in the long run. Try to find the best training you can afford.

OBA

Yeah, OBA (Ormond Beach Aviation) is getting pretty good nowdays. Some friends did their training there- nice place. They got new Liberties - shady reputation airplanes following the recent crash-n-burn incident but definitely fun to fly - fast, light and with G450 for easy x/c flights. Also relatively cheap since they burn a lot less avgas with a FADEC equipped engines. In addition they have a fleet of PA-28s for the conservatives and C150/152's for the adrenaline junkies. If I'm not mistaken they also have a bunch of multi-engine airplanes like Seneca and Seminole.

JAA IR rating training is major pain in the ass and pure politics rather then common sense. Making me mad every time I think about it! You have to fly 15 IR hours out of your 50 IR hours in JAA airspace paying triple the US costs. Instead of lowering domestic flight training costs and maintenance fees that choke general aviation and professional flight training revenues in Europe (especially UK), those basrds chose to pass artificial laws that partially eliminate US flight school competition. More ridiculous are the aviation laws concerning operation of N-reg (US) aircrafts by FAA IR-certified pilots in JAA airspace under IFR conditions. The law is a/c registration driven rather then pilot qualifications driven and makes no sense at all. Again, pure politics!

I hope we will live to see brighter times when aviation and bullshi fake profit-oriented political agendas do not mix.

Tailwinds, HH
