I'm doing PPL @ Monarch (KADS) and I'm pleased so far. I was nervous having read the reports of high traffic and long waits on the tarmac for students but, outside of the very first lesson I did there, I have not found this to be the case. Usually no worse than 3rd in line for takeoff.

My instruction has been great... CFIs here seem to be very busy though so I'd recommend scheduling at least two weeks out to be safe. The planes are all nice newer C172s w/ glass and the price, while not cheap, seems quite fair to me relative to what neighboring schools are offering.

I will put in a word as well for Aviator Air out of KGPM... much more laid back than KADS (not that learning in busy KADS airspace is necessarily a bad thing)… the people there were very cool and if you're looking for Part 61 it's a good option. They no longer offer 141 which is why I went to Monarch (I probably needed the "structure" and the possibility of getting ratings in fewer hours was intriguing).
