In these tough economic times, lots of people are holding back on their training. Also it's a good time to get good deals on training and to negotiate a good price with flight schools.

I am about ready to start my training at the start of the new year. So far the best quote I have gotten is about 35,000 for a zero to 255 hour package. This package includes 80 hours of dual instruction (172) and 150 hours of rental in a 172. Also included are 25 hours of multi engine time. check ride fees are an extra 800 $ for the 4 check rides. So at the end of the course - one has Private, instrument, ME commercial and SE commercial.

This price also includes housing.

Is this a good price? Any thoughts on this?

Cheers

I'm not surprised with the rough economic times, but wondered if anybody had any info about this?

I will say Angel Air was a great experience for me a number of years back. I did the bulk of my training there and absolutely loved it. I did my commercial single, comm multi, CFI, CFII, and MEI there. It was also my first instructing job. It's sad to hear about this closing, it brings back a lot of good memories thinking about my time there, but I can't say I'm surprised about anything aviation related shutting their doors in these though economic times. ]]> Flight Academies and Fixed Base Operators (FBO) gomntwins http://forums.jetcareers.com/flight-academies-fixed-base-operators-fbo/98436-angel-air-closed.html http://forums.jetcareers.com/flight-academies-fixed-base-operators-fbo/98351-dallas-tx.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:51:28 GMT Howdy,

I'm finally ready to get "really" started towards my PPL and was just wondering if you guys know of any good places here in Dallas, TX. I don't want to go with Learntoflydallas or Pro-Aircraft, because of various reasons. Nevertheless, I know of American Flyer's which was too expensive in my opinion, and then there's Monarch Air. I took a discovery flight with Monarch to see if I liked their instructors, but I didn't. That's not to say I just didn't get a bad one that day, since they did change which instructor I was going to go with at the last minute.
