Training in the States
 

Can anyone help me with information on good/bad schools in florida?

This should be fun, I love hearing all the bitter twisted moaning that goes on in here :)

Chris...what do you want to do??

PPL? Commercial? Instrument Rating? Multi Rating? IMC? Hour Building? Instructor Course?

Different answers available for each topic!!

FAA, JAA or anything else?

Gone West

Thanks for your reply, I would like to get my PPL :)

I started my ppl in the uk, but after 40 hours of stop start training due to weather, instructors running away to join airlines, my own busy schedule, etc, I went to the states to complete my caa course.

I chose Naples Air Center. I found them to be good and have no complaints.

However, please be aware that with a licence gained in the US, when you return to the uk you will have some significant gaps in your understanding of how things work over here.

I know, I had to quickly learn the American way of things whilst preparing for my GFT. I even failed at the first attempt because I had not fully understood how the system worked. My advice, for what it is worth, if you are successful in the US when you return spend a few more hours with a flying instructor in the uk. You will need it.

Good Luck
