Hi there !

I'm planning to study flying in the US hopefully this April.

I was pretty set on studying in Oregon, Hillsboro Aero Academy. However after talking to several American Pilots and reading forums, I have learned their number 1 concern: weather. Majority of them would suggest Florida. Then also mentioned it's too expensive in California.

Can anyone give more insight re: Oregon weather and how it'll affect my training ? Hoping to finish PPL thru CFI within 1 year of full time training.

As for Florida, I have my eyes on Florida Flyers. I would love Flight Safety but it's way too expensive.

Not easy to decide as I won't be able to check the schools before enrolling.

Thanks for the help !

I am also looking forward to join HAA please give information about which weather is good for applying.

Which schools besides HAA alows CPT and OPT?

Check out flight schools with F-1 Visa. Tho with schools like Aerosim and FSA -- I have read bad experiences about how they don't take you in for CPT/OPT after.

I'm currently flight training in HAA now and the program looks promising.
