PSA is great. Is your aircraft parked at their ramp?

11 hrs deep. The only problem with the Bay Area this time of year, is the weather-that is if you're a non instrument rated student pilot...

your grounded....been there before. Keep at it, and stay focus. invest in a good sim. I use X plane with the Saitek yoke and throttle quadrant. it will help you in your landings, step turns, slow flight VOR tracking etc....which means cheaper for you.

Oh I feel your pain.. I've been grounded countless times because of the weather in this area during the winter season.

I've stuck to PSA for flight training, everyone there is great, and my instructors have been invaluable.
