UK Rookie pilot training in USA

Hi There.

Been lurking for a while, and would be interested in peoples opinion
about a UK national getting JAA/CAA PPL in the USA.

I am thinking about using the Anglo American Aviation International
School in San Diego, CA. It is CAA cross certified, and lets face the
facts that learning to fly in California will be a fantastic
experiance!! Aside from that at $1.90 to the =A3 it is significantly
cheaper for the Brits to go to the US at the moment.

Anyone used this school? Are they any good?

Any other advice appreciated - I have already booked in for my JAA
Class 2 Medical, will get FAA Class 3 at the school, and yes - I have
applied for a student Visa from the US Embassy in London. Anything I
need to know?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

California is probably the most benign climate for summer training
(why is it that folks always think of this option in the summertime,
when AZ and FL are brutal?). But the air traffic around San Diego
would scare me. (I know nothing about the school or what airport it
uses.)

Thanks Dan. I live and work in Central London, UK so am used to paying
a fortune. The pain is eased with the current exchange rate.
