I'm new here. I am planning to get a PPL within 2-4 years in the US. Since its an expensive trip, I'm planning to get the license as soon as I can (maybe around 2 months, no longer than 3 months) with a budget of around HKD 120000. I am struggling to choose flight school in the US.
I'm looking for schools that are under Part 61/141 and found the Flying Academy in Miami, and Florida Flyers Flight Academy in North East Florida. Both are flight schools under Part 141 and provide details of the information on their courses.
However, Flying Academy claimed their price of PPL course start from USD7500 (Around HKD6100) and Florida Flyers Flight Academy did not list their price of PPL course. (I know most of the flight schools calculate their price per hour of flight training). Florida Flyers Flight Academy provides an instructor with an Instructor to the Student Ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 (which is great) and Flying Academy does not. It looks like the Florida Flyers Flight Academy has greater equipment able to use ( simulator/etc) while the Flying Academy doesn't. One thing I'm afraid of is they never mention the price of the course, and afraid of going overbudget.
Any recommendation on US flight Schools or advice on choosing flight schools?
Thanks for the reminder. Have a nice day :)
