Two months should be plenty of time to get the private. With that said I would suggest you know the airport diagram at PDK with your eyes closed! Learning to fly at PDK will be a challenge but not impossible. PDK has really high volume general aviation traffic and you will master the radio soon if you want to fly out of there. I have flown there some and remember being on downwind number 7 or 8 to land more than one time.
Just curious but why PDK? You will easily spend close to a couple thousand extra dollars there than flying out of other airports in the area.
I was trying to avoid PDK but it's looking like my only option right now. Training is with Falcon Aviation Academy and they fly out of 4 different locations, PDK, CCO, FFC and AHN. I'm going to be staying in Fairburn, GA (By Family) and MARTA only provides transportation to PDK.
I can drive but I'm not sure If I'm gonna have a car accessible at all times either.
I have until December to figure this out, SIGH
N.B I hope 2 months would be enough, I have already done my FAA Written and have my Third Class Medical and SPL.I also have prior flight training...The basics, Level Flight, Turns, Pattern Entry, Stalls, A few landings etc 10.2 hrs total
