Another angle on this might be that most of the accelerated ab-initio
programs are in places like Florida or Arizona that basically don't have
weather (or what a New Englander like myself would consider weather, at
least). While this is great for dispatch purposes it's not representative of
what you find in Europe and UK. Depending on what kind of flying you're
going to be doing down the road this might be worth taking into account. I
had more hours of actual when I took my IR checkride than some CFIIs do
coming out of programs down there. This isn't negligence- they just don't
get as much flyable IMC as we do up North.

Are you looking to become a safe, competent pilot, or are you just after

a
licence?


There is absolutely no data that states quickie programs such as this are
unsafe. Don't get me started again.
