Choosing a CFI (sort of)

[flightmedic]

Can you get a PPL through a CFI that is not affiliated with a school? In other words, If I knew someone who was a CFI, can I get my PPL through him training me or do I need to go through an actual school?

Yes. I did it that way. After each lesson I wrote one check out to my CFI, the other to the airplane rental firm.
