Dear Pilots.
I am not US citizen.

I would like to take retraining to IR and CPL in this fall under Part 141.

I'm looking for these two school's flight training review, does anyone join their training program?

How is there ,weather, instructors, living and review.

Yours sincerely

I appreciate it.

Bacon

Because the weather in New England can be very finicky, I'd recommend doing your training in FL or AZ instead, unless you have a good reason for doing it here. It isn't uncommon to have a weeks worth of rainy weather even in the summer.

I've heard good things about Air Direct but personally never flown with them. I'm assuming you received your FAA PPL in Part 141 school? The weather here is not as good as in Arizona but "weeks of rainy weather" is quite an exaggeration. It's sure challenging but if you can handle NE weather you can handle anything. Don't know anything about instructors in the above schools. Living in Nashua or Maine is not too expensive, you will need a car though.

Dear Hammerhat
Thanks for your kindly help
I probably go there on Sep or Oct.
Good day~

Thank you Groundpounder.
Is rainy to a badly effect for PPL training?

If the visibility or ceilings are too low, yes it is bad. You can't fly.

I did my SE and ME commercial, and my multi ATP at Air Direct. I have nothing bad to say about them, but I just wonder why you'd travel to NH to do your ratings vs somewhere else with guaranteed good weather.
