ATP SE add-on / Chicago

[Thom]

Hi All,
I would like to add ASEL privileges to my FAA ATP (already AMEL, no FAA single engine privileges at all, except foreign-based PPL).
Around 2300 hrs of single engine experience with EASA license.
Any flight school recommendation around Chicago ?

Thanks !

Rihn Aviation at T41 does ATP ASE. And the examiner is a aerobatic champion.

I'm more looking in the Windy City area due to travel constraints, but will keep your recommendation in mind if I need to widen my search ;-)

Do a trip and do it in week or so

Where in Chicago? Commuting can be up to an hour and a half without that detail.

Definitely!

The thing is that I'll be coming to the Windy City for sure this summer, but haven't defined the precise location yet. I'll be choosing depending on the school location, among other things (thinking about ARR, PWK, DPA or even 05C or 3HO, 06C, UGN...).

2 CFII 2 plane School. Reasonable prices and great instructors.

Quality of instruction might not be that important with your experience but I've heard almost all good feedback and no waiting on taxi or takeoff clearance at rush hour.
