south florida flight schools

[TimsKeeper]

Looking for comments on flight schools in Boca Raton or Pompano airports.

I'm new to Florida, however I've been asked to find the best school for a friend of the family.

Please only list the "best" places. If you'd like to tell me where to stay away from please PM me.

Basically, best planes and best instructors.


Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies.

I'll check those links out. Most, if not all, of those larger schools aren't at Boca or Pompano I'm guessing, though.

This person isn't becoming a professional pilot. Just getting Private/Instrument for recreational purposes so a mom-and-pop school with an excellent instructor would be sufficient.

Heyas,

Tough call. SoFl used to be a hotbed of places, but times change.

Now the prices are high, but at least the selection is bad.

North Perry has a spot on the north side that seemed to have a few AC. Nothing new.

Dunno about Boca. Last time I checked PMP, there was zero going on. The one place that rented wouldn't let you take the plane out of the state.

FXE is, well FXE. It's time has past. I think there is at least one outfit, but prices were high.

To tell you the truth, unless you hook up with a club, you might be dissapointed. SoFL operators seem to go for that foreign student market, where the price doesn't really factor into it. The few places I checked into didn't really want my rental dollar that bad.

Have you considered looking at the Lantana Airport, just south of WPB. They have a few part 61 schools/rental.
