Training in Florida ?!?

Hi people...!

I'm thinking of doing my flight training in FLORIDA.

I'd like to make it to a commerical pilot's license (CPL) with
multi-engine (MER) and instrument ratings (IR).

Any SPECIFIC flight training INSTITUTES you could recommend?

What about accomodation?

I got a budget of about $30,000...

I'm an Indian student looking to bag about 200 hours.

Thanks...

airline captain?

Hey Martin,
If not Florda, where would you recommend?
Not bound anywhere but that's where I thought I could get good training
for cheap with nice weather... the whole package.
Tell me what you think...

Actally, I'll start the whole visa and TSA procesure once I'm sure
about where I'm going.

for initial training there are better areas for VFR than FL. IMHO, YMMV.

In some cases it might be better to go with a smaller outfit and pay as you
go (in smaller blocks). You don't know if you really will like the job as a
pilot.
Also, in terms of cost of living FL is a bit more expensive than other
states (due to tourists and snowbirds).

Tell me what you think...

see if you have all the required papers (visa etc.)

Hey Killol,

Not sure why Marty won't answer your question but he probably means Arizona

Nice weather? Happen to keep up with the hurricane season last year?
One flight school moved out completely, moved all their aircraft
and operations and students who wanted to, to its facility in
Arizona.

not limited to AZ. Texas or New Mexico might work, too.

I think, to start flying, Arizona is perfect. I did my initial training in
Prescott and the weather was just top notch. Had one and a half days of
unflyable weather (for an initial student, that is) due to windy conditions.

For the instrument, I'd move the training to an area with some actual IMC.
