Everyone that plans on moving somewhere should do 1 of 2 things: 1. Not move there because of flight training schools. 2. Lobby to get the flight training school to practice over unpopulated areas.

#2 Doesn't seem feasible for large portions of the world though. I did some flight lessons in rural Manitoba. You got ~45 minutes of flight training for every hour you paid for. Then I considered restarting them once I moved to Toronto... you get about 20, 25 min of training for every paid hour - the rest is just getting out of restricted space. If you wanted to head to actual "unpopulated area", I think you'd need to book a 3 hour lesson in order to get any actual training. Completely unfeasible. And this is in Canada, a famously sparsely populated nation. It feels even less feasible for majority of more densely populated countries. (basically, by definition, if you only allow flight training in the unpopulated boonies, you'd deny it to a very large super-majority of population. One may view that in positive or negative light, of course)

    Unaffordable might be another word. Rental on the plane per hour, fuel for the flight, fees for the instructor etc are all not known for being cheap.

    It's not impossible. It's unfeasible. Paying 3 hours of very expensive flight training to obtain 30min of actual flight instruction should be unfeasible at plain sight, but fair enough - the next level of detail is "makes it unaffordable, impractical, and is a strong deterrent for vast majority of interested parties".

>2. Lobby to get the flight training school to practice over unpopulated areas. This is fairly typical — even in urban centers there's typically one or more "training areas" for students to practice maneuvers. e.g. in New York: https://i.imgur.com/Djum5pX.png https://i.imgur.com/Djum5pX.png
