Flight school near Denver?

Flown out of KAPA but KBJC is definitely lighter on traffic. I did some of my helo time there.

Just go around and talk to some of the schools, you'll get a feel for how they are.

I'd much rather deal with that than wasting so much time on the Hobb's meter around APA.

Time is time as long as it is logged and all counts towards the 40hrs... or is it 35, it's been a while I don't remember...

I work up in Westminster so Rocky Mountain is a stone's throw away for after-work flights - that being said I don't mind driving if there are better options around.

Good guys, quality instructors and nice fleet of planes...

Time spent waiting for take off, extending downwind, or whatever could be better put to use in a environment that is less busy.

Maybe, experience is experience.... All test the pilots ability to handle the situation!

When I was a flight instructor about 15,000 hours ago, there was nothing worse than sitting out at the end of a runway waiting for 5 airplanes to land all while the meter ticks away. Good for the flight instructor pay, but that's about it.

I think either Rocky Mountain or Front Range would be good places to start looking. Especially since they are both tower controlled, so you'll get some experience dealing with ATC.

Either way, good luck Adamking84.

Back in Boston my instructor and I spent an hour and the half on the tarmac waiting for Hillary Clinton's C-17 to takeoff, in 100+ degree heat. On the plus side we got to watch an F-18 escort do touch and go's for an hour, so that was pretty cool.

I'm going to head up and check out McAir Aviation tomorrow, there's a few others i'm going to hit as well.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys
