I got my ppl about three years ago in Florida. If I were to do it all over again, I would save a bit longer and train in this country.
It was an amazing experience. The weather was good most the time, flying day in day out helped to learn quickly, and staying on site the whole time ment you stayed focused.
On the downside, the bills soon mounted up with some hidden extras but most importantly I found (in my case) the training not nearly to the standard you might expect here. Carb heat wasn’t felt very important for example. Also I found it took many hours of instruction back in this country to get used to the differences.
I’m glad I did it for the experience, but didn’t feel as competent as I probably should have been on return home.
And a holiday it certainly wasn’t!
