I finished the course in less than two weeks.(Barely!) It was a lot of work. I had passed my written the week before and was well prepared for the oral. I had lots of hours for a student because I was driving 16 hours roundtrip every weekend, that the weather was good, to the place where I was training. (That's another long story!) I was ready to solo the second day at Lockwood. Jeff, my instructor, was great! We didn't waste a minute. The only limiting factors were how fast I could absorb the training and just pure fatigue. Romke is the DPE there. He actually flies with you a couple of times so you get accustomed to being with him before your checkride. He is very knowledgeable and fair. Every experience I had with everyone there was most professional. They really moved heaven and earth to make sure I had the plane whenever I needed it. They even reserved it for me for the entire day after I got my ticket so my lovely and long suffering wife could go fly with me around Florida. They also have a deal on hotel rooms. If you would like more info email me at chick@chickbartlett.com or just call at 770-595-9942. It was a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend them.
