Karthik:
I am from India too and am planning on getting a CPL. I am already in the states.
Amongst the list I think PEA is a good choice from what I gathered after doing a lot of talking to people. Although I tried calling them many times- I was unable to speak to anyone in person.Hopefully they will get back to me in the morning.
Also the guys from riverside seemed good to talk to and I am about 11 hours away from them - and I will possibly be driving down there soon to find out more about them.
Sunrise does not accept Indian students anymore. And as for Clipair - I have no clue at all.
hope that helps.. if you need more info feel free to send me a msg and I will help you out the best I can.
Cheers

Starting Out / Choosing a flight School / Good flight school for International Student?

Hello and a big hi to all the people on this forum!
I am a software engineer and have a bachelors degree in that field - but am wanting to make a career switch.I am interested in becoming a commercial pilot. I have no prior flight experience and know very little about flight school.
I spoke to people from Regional Aviation Academy (RAA) in Deland, FL - they have a program that is for students from India. Apparently the guy claimed that he can have me done in 6-7 months! Another choice is Ari-Ben flight school.
Has anyone on here, heard of these schools? Also it possible to get the ratings and licenses in that short period of time? I have no prior flying experience.
Also could any one recommend an inexpensive flight school for international students? I would much appreciate it!
Thanks in advance for all the replies!
Cheers!
