I'm planning on buying a DA40NG in the next 2-3 years but want to build some hours before purchasing my own plane. Right now, I'm looking to finish up my PPL after a long layoff. Have all the minimum required hours but probably need around 15-20 hrs (including XC) to shake off the rust and get ready...

One more thing, I'm trying to avoid busy airspace airports for my PPL at least. Lowering the training risk factor. I don't plane to fly commercial so this is really to prepare me for a purchase of a DA40NG down the line training in a safe aircraft and safe airport with minimal heavy jet traffic.

Thank you all. Super helpful. Will check out Blueline and Angel City.

Hello. I'm looking to do an Accelerated PPL on DA40 as I plan to purchase one after getting my license. Can anyone recommend schools good weather locations - AZ, FL or CA. Open to others too.
