Haven’t attended either school, but I’ve been to both airports. Sat at the hold short line in Daytona for over half an hour, lined up with a dozen Riddle planes.

This has happened on more than one occasion and I have spoken with quite a few embry guys that have said it’s very common to get .7 on the ground prior to takeoff for their lesson.

You’ll become a pilot either way if you stick it out and study, but even if cost isn’t an issue I wouldn’t want to sit in taxiway gridlock every lesson for that long. I avoid flights to Daytona for that very reason. Melbourne isn’t that bad when I stop by.
