I got my private at Fly By Knight in Hammond. Great school, and cheapest rates. They also fly 7 days a week so it's easier to fit into your schedule if you have a regular Mon-Fri job. And, as someone said earlier, do King Schools online for FAA written exam prep. It's 275 bucks instead of a couple thousand paying an instructor for ground.

It was less, but I know it was $50 per hour of classroom and I didn't get much from it. What jaded me was anytime the plane was down and I was just around, I was getting hit classroom time.
I don't recommend Flight Academy, but that's who I used.

My Plane. only one of 2 Green V tails ordered from the factory. The other is based in California so if you see it in the South it’s me.

I don’t know if ol Sam Watley is still doing check rides out of Gonzales, but if he is and when the time comes........ good luck. He’s fair but he’s a hard arse.
Retired a few years ago, and soon after that he passed away. He was a good guy that, by his own admission forced the pilot to think.

McDonald Flying Service at BTR. He has a deal where you can join the club and just pay for fuel. I've flown with a lot of instructors and he's one of the best

Fly by Knight.

Absolutely agree to get true written out of the way before flying. X plane is great for instrument if you can find a setup like your plane.

Damn I didn’t know that.
He gave me hell on my check ride but passed me. I had lunch with him after and he was cool as shite.

Go with either Fly By Knight or Aviation Specialists, inc. I’ve rented from ASI and can vouch for Christine Marchand. She is a very good CFI. I’ve also heard nothing but good things about Fly By Knight as well.

Bruh the co-ops are tough. For awhile I had a 172SP I whored out to flight training, but the 100hrs add up$$$

You a doctor? If so, is your life insurance all paid up?
ETA: Is this the other green one? It's on Wikipedia.
