Filing Flight Plan
I am about to embark on the PPL journey.
I have two local options.
ONE: A large flight academy at my local airport. They use the Diamond DA-20. SUPER sharp looking plane. Its $100 an hour plus $50 an hour for an instructor. I like the modern planes. I am concerned about the rotating instructors during my training.
TWO: A private CFI who instructs in his 1967ish Piper Cherokee who has been a CFI for nearly 40 years. He is an old timer with tons of time and great references. I am concerned about the age of the aircraft. He flies out of the subdivision he lives in (their own runway). Its $75 an hour plus $40 a lesson for the instructor. MUCH cheaper at the end of the day.
Any insights you can share??
Thanks,
George
