1  Starting Out / International Student Questions / What would be best? on: August 07, 2007, 02:38:04 pm
I don't think this section is really the right place but it is the closest to my topic so I will just post here..

I am looking to move to germany in two years -- Will my license be valid there if I get my private license here?  Or what if I stay here and get my MEI and CFI?  Will I be allowed to fly in germany? What are the procedures I must go through?  Would you recommend learning to fly in germany or here in the USA? 

Thanks
2  Starting Out / Choosing a flight School / Trying to find a good flight school on: August 03, 2007, 08:41:46 pm
Hello, I'm trying to find a new flight school and I am just really not sure which one to go to...  I am looking to go to a somewhat bigger flight school which is well known to most of the bigger companies.  Can I get grants to go to a flight school?  On a lighter note, I found a few smaller schools nearby, but I wasn't really sure which one I was wanting to go to.  I can't take out a loan so therefore I am only making $200 a week.  I'm having issues with all this stuff called money lol.  Is there a way I can get a grant (federal or state)?  Anyways, here are a few part 61 flight schools I have found in my area (which could probably start me out before going to an actual flight school).

1) Hendricks County Aviation - http://www.flyhca.com
2) Indianapolis Aviation - http://www.indianapolisaviation.com
3) Eagle Creek Flight Academy - http://www.flyeaglecreek.com

I am slightly leaning towards Indianapolis Aviation -- Yes, it may be an hour away but I would get to learn the traditional method of navigation rather than using a glass cockpit plane that Hendricks County has.  Then again, gas is so expensive maybe I should just go with the glass cockpit, plus get the endorsement to fly an advanced aircraft?  Please give your opinions..

Thanks
