Phoenix: Heard some of the horror stories about AZFTC, so I'm going with Glendale Flyers (aka Angel Aviation). They just upped their prices because they got feedback that one flight was not enough to prep for the checkride, so now they do 2 flights. Program price is $2995, plus examiner's fee, and that includes 10 hrs ground instruction, 5 hrs flight instruction, and 3hr check flight. Paul is their scheduling guy, he was pretty flexible with working around my schedule. I'm doing ground instruction and one flight this weekend, then finishing up next weekend. Will pass words once complete.
Cheech - Curious what you think of Glendale Flyers once you start the training. Heard less than good things about them as of about 9 months ago from dudes in the squadron, but I think it may have been mostly DE based. I'm looking for a place to do the practical in AZ this fall when it starts to cool off a bit (did my written last week). Good luck!
