Interstate has a pretty good rep in the area. I've always thought there rates were pretty good and they have been nice enough the times I've been in there. If you get the written passed, I could get your started with some ground trainer time. Not sure if Interstate has one but ground trainers are great for learning some of the IFR procedures, plus, it's cheaper than renting a plane.

Well thats good that they have a good rep. I called to ask about renting planes, and if they charged if u kept the plane over night, which they dont so i can fly home once in a while. That sounds good, can you give me a little more info on the whole ground trainer time, that would be great! thanks again

You can use a ground trainer for half your IFR rating. I used them a lot in the past, well....10 years ago. But they are great for maybe 10 to 15 hours of learning procedures in a more efficient enviornment than the airplane.
