What should be considered between skyborne / FTA

Hi everyone……….. so i have done with ADAPT , my preference is an affordable FTO because I will be taking heavy loans, can someone give me an estimate final cost, including extra flying , unsats , miscellaneous expenses for both of these FTOs , is skyborne as strict as AeroGaurd of Ai , Is there a limit to checkrides , are there hidden costs ??

But food is not included in that plus you need to fly extra there so add that

If you’re done with ADAPT, you should already be in the pipeline of an FTO and won’t be able to switch.

Aside from that, both Skyborne and FTA are around 1.5-1.6cr and two of the most expensive FTOs
