PPL training in Ottawa, CA
 
Hi,

I'm looking to start some flight training in Ottawa (from scratch - PPL ground school and in the air maybe 2x a week, evenings and weekends).

Any recommendations/cautions in terms of past experiences, quality of instruction, flexibility with bookings, service, etc.?

Cursory glance says the three most prominent schools appear to be (with my initial pros and cons):

Ottawa Flying Club
- best known / biggest?
- gain experience at a busy airport

Ottawa Aviation Services
- gain experience at a busy airport

Rockcliffe Flying Club
- prices appears to be lower

Any other ones?

Travel time is also a factor as I need to bus/bike back from work in Gatineau to Centretown to get my car and boot it out to the airport (traffic down Airport Road, or 417/Vanier Pkwy at rush-hour?)

Any and all feedback is appreciated!
