Why would a sport pilot ground school cost $1500. I mean, you could just do it with DVD disks and books. And, don't ever pay for flight time in advance. And, there's no mountain's in Florida.
I guess you could get an attorney and threaten to sue the guy.

Have not received one penny in refunds. The company is Mountain Air Accelerated Flight Training (fly-mountain-air.com) and the instructor is Preston Brandt
2718382 CFII exp. 08/06. What can I do? Any suggestions? I just wanted to get back into General Aviation and become a Sport Pilot. My CFI seems to have ended my flying adventure!

Good call going with a company that doesn't have an office, but only lists a PMB. - 1643 N. Alpine Rd. Ste. 104, PMB 137 Rockford, IL 61107. Did you meet at Starbucks to conduct ground school?

Why three weeks?.....because the instrument rating is the most important rating you'll ever get..."
