I am in the middle of trying to complete my training for a private pilot certificate and two things come to mind. First is the money involved. Let's face it, completing all the training you need to become a pilot is not cheap by most people's standards.
The second and more frustrating problem I see is the lack of profesionalism among many FBO/Flight Schools. The FBO likely has several flight instructors who have their own way of teaching things with no standardization between instructors at the same FBO. Most of these instructors have horrible schedules and when they make it to a lesson exactly on time, they are doing good. At the FBO where I take lessons I have actually watched another instructor with student taxi off in the airplane I reserved. You see, that other instructor needed to "steal" the plane that was supposed to be reserved for me and my instructor so he could make a few extra bucks -- this happened to me twice with two different (airplane theif) instructors!
