FlightSafety
Greetings,
I just started at FlightSafety Academy in Florida last week. So far it seems to be a great program, and they take their training here very seriously. There are 30 students in my class and the next class will be entering the academy in October.
Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

If you were to go to Europe and ask aviation students if they heard of Embry Riddle, most would probably say "no". (At least that has been my experience)
I have finally narrowed down my search to two flight schools that I will tour. The first being L3 Airline Academy (Aerosim) and the other being Flight Safety Academy. Yes, both are expensive but if you ever wanted to fly for an airline that accepts FAA ATP internationally you would be at an advantage with a flight school that is recognized across the globe.
I've been in contact with ATP but decided against them since they REALLY try to push their marketing tactics to the point where they called me more than once in a day, sent emails, and text messages to my cell-phone.

Overall, I enjoyed it. Did my PPL at a grass strip though. Wouldn't trade in either experience. Just pick what works for you.
