Sooner91,

Interesting comment about learning IFR on steam gauges, that too crossed my mind but then again what about all the glass cockpit stuff that one needs to know especially as all the Airlines load the cockpits with the sweet avionics suites that are mostly glass today.. I did all my PPL in steam gauges so I was thinking glass time exposure may do me well?... Still in the air though, yes I live closer to RDU area though.

I've only really learned glass in the Archer so that's why he wants me learning steam. He told me that once I learn stuff on steam that I won't have any trouble at all learning glass. I honestly love glass and the 2 g430 and g500 in the Archer makes life super easy. But like me for he was saying that what if I took a plane out one day that was all gauges, I would have some idea but not any real idea how to fly the plane. I'm sure for you it won't make a difference, I honestly would rather fly glass haha. But if you can save money and what not I would go that option. I'm living in "campus housing" right now, but since I'm the only student at the Tulsa location right now it's pretty
much an apartment to myself. All the other locations have student housing with 2 people to a room and at least 4 to an apartment. If that would have been the case for me I would have preferred to live at home. You don't have a lot of time for a decision but I'm sure you can't go wrong with either.

I have decided to go with ATP Concord/Charlotte facility for the 100 Day Program! Will be flying the steam gauges on the Seminoles and the Archer in the glass some so good outcome I think.
