|  Columbus Ohio Schools?
Considering getting my instrument rating while I'm going to school at Ohio State. So anyone know of good, resonable priced, schools around the Columbus area. I did look at Capital Aviation, and this is what I got and would like to get some advice. 1981 Piper Warrier II Garmin equipped. 95/hr 2002 Diamond Star 125/hr 1973 Piper Arrow II Garmin 430, Auto Pilot 119/hr Instructor 39/hr Ground 30/hr Initiation Fee $150 Monthly Dues - $35/month Then add in renters insurance which i've done before through aopa. I just plan on using the Warrier for training, just figured to put some of the other planes they have on here for ya. Here's their website http://www.capitalcityaviation.com/ |

too far to drive, i'd like to stay more local, takes me about 15 min to drive from campus to Don Scott Airport aka OSU Airport I think the prices i have are too high, but what do other colleges and schools charge? They have people joining every month too |

I went to Bolton Flying Service, as did many of my friends and acquaintences. It was a good experience for me - reasonable prices, good planes, instructors were pretty reliable, etc. After Bolton, I also know lots of people who used National Flyers at Don Scott.

Yea, go for National Flyers. I go there and I wash the airplanes. Reasonable prices, and evryone there is cool. They have a mechanic, so most of the a/c are always airworthy. They have Cessna's and Pipers. www.nationalflyers.net . An hour of 172 time is $90 with $30 instruction fee. Check 'em out!
