I am ready to pull the trigger on getting my private pilots license and wanted some input from people on here.
I was thinking of going to Johns Island just because of logistics but convenience is not always the best and this is not something I want to cheap out on. I have also heard of places that try and churn you for excessive hours to maximize profits.
My end goal is to have a Cessna 172 or Cherokee 180. I don’t need my instrument rating right away but I would like to get that as well. Thanks for any advise.
I don’t know firsthand about the Charleston area, but it’s hard to go wrong with an official Cessna Pilot Center school to start with. In Savannah I would recommend Savannah Aviation, also a CPC, they got a lot of my money:smiley:
Google tells me that Coastal Aviation is a CPC in Charleston, Mt. Pleasant regional airport. Again, no personal direct recommendation for them, but the Cessna training centers are good.

Double D, that is a little far out of my way. I have to go to chs daily anyway, so I am looking for a place in that area.
Cracker, I know of the place and I will check it out. They do have all new planes which I like. I have 3 places I want to visit before I hand over 8k.
Going out tomorrow in my friends Baron. He has almost 4k hrs flying and has already taught me a great deal. Its a lot to deal with, the twin engines, props, and retractable gear but its fast and roomy. More than I would like right now. Plus the 24gph burn is expensive.
