I haven’t made another official I’m back post again since I have done it so many times. This time I really am back at it and am training consistently for the first time since starting to fly in 2013! I’ve logged about 19 hours since Nov 1st and am flying 4-5 days per week as long as nothing breaks the schedule.
The school I am attending currently is EXCELLENT. Great instructors, awesome atmosphere, clean and very well maintained 172’s (three total, 2 G1000 and one 6 pack). I often study in their conference room and can ask all the questions I want. I have no complaints at all about the school aside from the cost since there is sales tax as well as city of Scottsdale ”Rental” taxes, and City of Scottsdale “flight training” tax.
I plan on continuing to finish my PPL with my current school for sure,however another option has presented itself and I wanted to gather opinions.
Essentially it is a new flight club in formation. Buy in is $1000 ($750 refundable if you sell your share to a new member). $125 monthly dues. $95 per hour dry, roughly comes out to about 150 per hour wet based on fuel prices at SDL for a very clean 2004 Arrow. All in all, it comes out to about $30 per hour less than the flight school. I guess my concern is switching flight instructors again to use one of the club instructors (which hasn’t been selected).
