These options at West Valley Flying Club in San Carlos sound good. Has anyone had experience with them or any other grounds schools for a private pilot licence in the San Francisco Bay Area? Thanks!

Wed, December 26, 2007 - 8:29 PMHi Kelly,
I got all my PPL training at the California Airways Flying Club in Hayward (HWD). They only have a single location, but it includes comfortable classrooms, great instructors, and a fleet of planes with the lowest rental prices I've seen anywhere. It's definitely worth looking into. I hope this helps.
