In the two years we have been training, we have found Pete Z. and HPAT very accommodating. A couple of points that have made it easier for us to schedule: 1) Make sure your airplane is ready - cancellations ruin schedules and this is the #1 cause of frustration for everybody 2) Email and have patience. If you don't hear back after a week, give Pete a call. 3) Try to arrange recurrent training at one of the HPAT training locations: Sebring, Napa, Redmond, etc. In Napa, there were 5 instructors.
