Schools in U.S.A., help me.
Hi my name is Jacopo, I live in Milan, Italy and I have intention to go to America to take the course PPL and ATPL. I'm looking at the schools on internet but I cannot know if they are competent or not. I have looked at the schools to Miami. can you give me some suggestion? thanks. Jacopo:)

Prairie Air Service, Inc
They have worked with many foreign students. The owner, Herb, is from Austria. |
His Apache is a fixture in Wichita. If you hear a rumble and then an old twin does a low pass it's him with an instrument student.

Don't waste your time with an FAA ATPL....you can't get your American ATPL until you have built 1500 hours anyway, so what you are trying to do is actually impossible.
There is no such thing as a frozen ATPL in the American system. Go to Oxford, do the integrated program and graduate from the most prestigious FTO in Europe. A JAR ATPL is far more usable worldwide than an American ATP. |
Is the Apache safe? I think it was built in 1953 and both the inside and outside look pretty rough. When I visited, there was oil leaking from the left wing and Herb said it was cheaper to let it leak than get it fixed, which really made me question whether or not I wanted to fly that plane

ATP professionals (nationwide) Flight Safety International Academy (Vero Beach) Pan Am Academy (Arizona) Dean International (Miami) a few that have good programs I said Dean cause I used to fly there and they are in Miami. Feel free to PM for details about Dean and ATP I did some flying at both. |
I was wondering if you could share more about your visit to Prairie Air as I am currently considering enrolling there? Thanks.

Do you work for Oxford? I can tell you, Oxford is NOT the most prestigious of them all. It is however the most expensive.
