I sent my son to Flight Safety, Vero Beach, to finish up his private and move on the next stage. They didn't fly him at all the first 60 days. I pulled him out and sent him to Paris Air who jumped right into the training cycle. He is now in their 141 instrument stage, so we're making progress. Dealing in the FLAP (f......light airplane pilots) community is highly frustrating. The biggest problem I see is lack of standardization. Although I only have about 260 hours of light airplane time (16,405 hrs total), some of which was in my own Cherokee 180, I grasp the challenge of getting my son through to his CFI. My other son went through ATP and is flying FO on King Airs. I am Navy trained (retired WAL/DAL), so I have max frustration with some of these flight schools.
