Hi All,

I've searched around and can't find a thread on Orlando Flight Training.

The prices seem keen for the Pro Pilot Course ($35,995), I wondered if anyone has trained there and maybe even done the Pro Pilot Course.

I'm looking to do modualr training (got a slot at Oxford but I can't afford it!)

I look forward to your posts.

Hi There,

Ok to be honest with you OFT is a good flight school. I just completed my CPL with them and i found them very good. A few of my mates did the propilot course and completed it without any problems.

Like any flight training organisation, you have to watch your finances,but other than that, they are very straight forward. Ground school is done in their new offices. aircraft are very good condition. they have purchased another duchess and have two g1000 glass cockpit 172's.

I would recommend the school to you for sure.

Good luck and let me know if you need more info!!!

Thanks for the thread Hobbit, I did look honest!

Some interesting reports coming from there, many seem negative. Might give it a wide berth...

No worries :}

Take all the stories with a pinch of salt; however having said that, having been there myself I'd personally go elsewhere.

$35,995 does seem very cheap - prehaps too cheap? Remember - you'll get what you pay for.

Agreed, but taking what you said on board. i know guys that are going through it and have successfully completed the course too.

Yes, you get what you paid for if all personal effort is put in to it.

You have spent what sum for all rate, including money for examinations and habitation? It more than 36000?

My full rant is on the other thread, so I'll keep this short.
Having been there myself my best advice is give them a very wide berth.

Dear KM737,

I would like to be informed if there are any delays due to bad weather conditions and if possible please let me know about the total duration of the pro pilot course including the conversion course at Cranfield.

KIND REGARDS,

do not waste your money at this school, i made this mistake and so did many other students i met whilst there. poor standards all round.

I had a poor experience state side with NAC many years ago but can't comment on OFT.
