Hi this article should help you finding flight schools

Since you're going to the US conversion of licence

Don't go the schools which have more Indians than Americans. Weather plays a big part in Florida. Find your own accommodation.

Try to go to small schools instead of big schools. Be prepared to spend 10 to 15% more than you think

i need help too…any input would be great

Hey! I totally understand your excitement about flying schools in the US. For CPL training, some well-known schools includes ATP Flight School, Embry-Riddle, and Phoenix East Aviation. Each offer strong programs, but make sure to research there locations, training facilities, and reviews to see which suits you best.

Good Luck!

Forgot about enjoy. You gotta be serious to be Pilot. You ain’t dedicated it’s gonna be hard to finish on time.

Epic and PEA in Florida 🇺🇸 flight schools are okay. But do your maths.

Here's an article that can help you understand click here

What area of SC are you in? Check out the local airports near you. A lot of them will have smaller flight schools that can can take you all the way to your CFI without needing to go to a big school. You'll save money over going to a big school.

The other thing you could look into do is to go to a college with a flight program, I think there is one at Charleston southern. This can give you access to a Restricted ATP at a lower count, but at the cost of taking longer to get all your certs. Typically its better to do college and flight training separate.

Come check out our school in near Raleigh NC area. We offer an accelerated program for commercial and other ratings. We also offer a guaranteed check rides to our students.

Dm me if you want to discuss further

Where in SC? Makes a difference.

Read the FAQ to get smart on the process. Lots of steps ahead of you before Commercial. And lots more after to get a job. 

CRAFT in Charleston is good. I have friends in Aiken. 

Augusta, GA, is just across the River.

Find a small FBO/school and knock it out part 61. CSU offers a bachelors degree program, but I would highly recommend you consider pursuing a non-aviation degree to have a backup in the event you are unable to fly at some point.

I got my private at KLQK and had a great experience. It’s a small flight school

Embry Riddle

Post in this sub if you want and we’ll look into some schools for you. If they make you pay for all of your training up front, don’t go. They could go bankrupt and you lose all your money. I’m at a college 141 school and pay in advance for each course. All courses are broken up into 2-3 parts and you pay for the expected amount it’ll cost. But paying for EVERYTHING up front is a 🚩

Just don’t go to ATP

Florida, Arizona, parts of Texas.

Southern California is, by far, the best place to learn to fly. It's not the cheapest place to live, but rentals are plentiful and often cheaper than other places thanks to competition. Instructions usually make more. Weather is almost always good, even in marine layer season when either ceilings are high enough to stay in the pattern, or lift in the afternoon. You also get a little bit of gentleman's IFR with instructors and fly in actual without it being overly complicated.

Top Gun is probably the best.

Whatever you do don't go to Academy of Aviation. They are scam artists to the fullest extent. I'm not some loser who didn't try or anything, I got my CPL first try on the checkride. They are just the worst. The owner doesn't care about the training, they violate the FARs in the name of profit, don't follow the 141 syllabus, and the chief pilot is a pedo. He got caught (very) inappropriately messaging a cop who was pretending to be a 13 yo girl. They don't give a shit about the students and will do anything to grub money off you. They will break their promises of training costs and time-frame and then blame it on you and require you to pay more. Don't do it.

A location where you are would be helpful

The cheapest and best record.

Maybe they're looking for the best flight school *Jeremy Clarkson voice* in the world.

Hey, I go to Phoenix East in Daytona Beach. If you want advice, I’m happy to help just dm me.

What are the age requirements?

This is a copy of the original post body for posterity:

Hi

Has any one attended flight school in Colorado before ? I’ve read about Rocky Mountain but currently they do not do PPL due to maximum capacity.

I came across another school called Coloradospring at Meadow lake.

Are they a good school? What should I be aware of if I were to move to learn to fly to there in Colorado ? Anyone finish 0-CFII within 12 months as advertised in the web?

Thank you

The school itself has little to do with the quality and value you get.

That is the work of the instructor.

Don't neglect seeking out independent instructors who have a passion for teaching. Even if they are more expensive per hour, you will get a better education than shiny schools with shiny airplanes but instructors with little real world experience.

The one that is closest and cheapest that you don’t have to take out a loan or quit your job for.

Everyone here despises 141 programs so good luck
