What? Please explain...

what im trying to say is my school, Farmingdale SUNY charges you double of what local FBO's were to charge you if you were to get your PPL w/them. nam sayin?

I find it kind of weird because they run there own FBO on the airfield and are a public state-run school and therefore should charge you less or try and be more competitive than the other flight schools. JMHO

Man, if it takes you even FIVE minutes to get to one of those FBO's, you don't know how to handle yourself on Rte. 110.

True, it actually takes about 30 minutes walking, or 15 with the bus. Hey, you dont go to Farmingdale do ya?

Im getting my degree in airport management, and going to start flying at either CTL, or Nassau Flyers. What about you?

In a college flight school do you get your PPL one semester, your intsrument the next semester, and so on? Thanks

I'm pretty late to this thread, but I thought I'd give some perspective as a senior at one of the aviation universities out there.

The flight courses aren't necessarily arranged on a semester-to-semester basis. For example, you may start your private certificate in the Fall semester, only to finish sometime in the Spring semester due to your own personal pace. As long as you complete the required flight courses before graduation, you can go as slow or fast as you'd like.
