Default Looking for instructor for PPL in RochesterNY

Hello,

I am looking to get a PPL and the flying schools charge around $9k. A pilot who I met when I went to sky dive near NY city told me if I can find an independent flying instructor, I could get a PPL within $5k.

Does anyone know a good flight instructor who can help me get me a PPL in Rochester NY?

or Does anyone know of a school in Rochester NY which is cheaper.

I am in US on a work visa so, I will also need to get my background verification done by the TSA.

Any suggestions, ideas are welcome.

The flight school, Rochester Air Center is the only game in town. GA here is dismal, not much going on. Your only other option may be the Williamson Flying Club which is about a 45 minute drive from ROC.

Thanks much for replying champcar. really appreciate it.

Williamson Flying Club is doing the PPL course for under 5000 dollars. which is definately a better deal than RAC.

Have you flown from WFC? do you suggest getting PPL from them?
