Ok, so I finally made the FAA happy that my ADD isn't a flight danger with all of these neuropsycological tests they required me to take. They issued me my medical. I'm ready to start looking into flight training. I'm not going to jump into anything, but I want to do it over the next two or three years and not be in any debt when I'm done. If there's one thing I've learned since I've been here at JC, it's that taking out loans is a bad idea. I want to go the FBO route.
I currently live in Monticello, AR, about 2 hours south of Little Rock. Central Flying Service has said it will cost about 50,000 for my ratings (SE and ME Commercial, CFI, CFII and MEI), ending up with approximately 280 hours of flight time. Something about that sounds outrageously expensive to me. I could go to a full time flight school for less than that. What is a fair price range I should be looking at to get my ratings? Are there other FBO's in my area that offer flight training? I'm within a one to two hours drive to Little Rock, Pine Bluff, El Dorado, Hot Springs, AR, Greenville, MS, and Rustin and Monroe, LA. If any of you have any advice please share! Thanks in advance,
Ryan
