Philippine Aviation Schools

[Try Hard 4.0]

Any of you guys did not get the chance in CIA or PalAv?
What do you think about these schools:
a) Aeroflyte
b) Omni
c)Fliteline
d) Flight International

[sidewinder1224]

I think omni is better compared to the other options you have. Try to observe and go to their base training area so you could get some idea how they operate and their faciliites. Try also to approach some of their students and get feed back from them. Good luck.:)

Was just wondering why it costs 1.5M in its PPP+CPL/IR course
while the other costs about 1.7M.

Hi Try,

why don't you consider Philippine Pilot Training Center? It's quite cheap. I'm considering that for my training, and at the moment I'm collecting information about this center. they provide PPL,IR/CPL, ME for 32k and they say they even give internships.

I'm considering the school for my basic PPL.

Then I'm going to Omni or Fliteline for the rest.

Maybe i'll see you there . . .

Try hard,

Just a tip.

If you're looking for a tutor or instructor, and you'll be needing something like a certification that you've completed it. Be sure the one you find can provide you, otherwise you'll be spending money twice just for this piece of paper.

for references try this www.transair.co.uk (http://www.transair.co.uk) , they have lots of good reading materials available.

Cheers,

Hello Gents,

I just would like to know if by any chance you might know if philippine aviation schools specially Philippine Pilot Training Center are quite busy with their trainings, so they can not reply request of new students. Or if they lacks proper management?

sorry for OT:

Do you know any Av School who hires new CPL's ? I've heard there are schools who offers F.I. training for free, and in turn will work for them over a period of time, and re-pays the company by salary deduction.

[AvEnthusiast]

Hey, isn't there anyone from Philippine Pilot Training Center in this forum? to put some comments about this school.

[AvEnthusiast]

Hello Fellows,

I would like to know what the difference between Philippine Pilto Training Center and Visayas Aerospace College and Technology is ? I mean which one of them has better reputation? Due to fully booked of PPTC I have been offered to have my training with Visayas Aerospace College and Technology.

Regards,

Try to get more feedback from students how is the maintenance of their flying school and it would be better if you could observe with their facilities as there were a couple of serious incidents and accidents that happened recently. You may get cheaper flight training but safety should always be your main concern. If you were already with a flying school and you feel that they were not giving you the proper training why would you stick with them there's always options out there. You can have your training with Gen. Av from student till you earn you CPL but try to get your instrument with PAL Aviation school as they will provide you the knowledge for your employment. Try to have your flight training lesson's as quickly as you can, do not do flying lessons once a week or say 10hrs a month. The more you compressed your training the more easily you learn. You will have the feel of the aircraft if you fly frequently.

I think PAL aviation school provide instrument training for free if you have already flight instructor's license as they are in need of instructors at the moment. There were loads of oppurtunity and this is the right time for those of you who would like to become a pilot. Flying is not like learning to drive a car, you have to have perceverance and right attitude. Always study hard so that what your parents paid for your training will be worthit in the future. GOOD LUCK to everyone of you...:)

I myself am a flight instructor in the USA and currently here in the Philippines applying. My best advice, and again this is my honest opinion, is try to get your training in the USA. It offers some of the most advance equipment in the General Aviation arena and you will be trained not only in the best flight enviorment in the world but you will be trained to be the best.

I'll admit, that the cost maybe expensive for some, but I have met many Filipinos at ATO who did their training in the USA and said they were quite pleased with the training. Also, the conversion of your FAA to ATO would be a piece of cake. They know the training in the US and have no problems of validating it, just remember to be humble in the office or your validation will be more difficult than appying for a student pilot certificate.

Etihad launches global pilot cadet scheme
By Murdo Morrison ([email protected])
http://adserver.adtech.de/adserv%7C3.0%7C289%7C1061239%7C0%7C277%7CADTECH;loc=300;key= key1+key2+key3+key4;grp=[group] (http://adserver.adtech.de/adlink%7C3.0%7C289%7C1061239%7C0%7C277%7CADTECH;loc=300;key= key1+key2+key3+key4;grp=[group])

Abu Dhabi's Etihad (http://www.etihadairways.com/etihadairways/global/en/experienceetihad/TheEtihadFleet.htm) is launching a worldwide cadet scheme for aspiring first officers as fast-growing airlines in the Middle East and Asia battle to recruit enough pilots.
It will complement Etihad's existing cadet programme for UAE nationals, which started last year as part of a campaign to convince more locals to train as pilots with the flag carrier.
Although global demand means the pool of experienced first officers is rapidly draining, this is believed to be one of the first times a major carrier has promoted a scheme to train and offer jobs to foreign youngsters with no flying experience.
Etihad plans to launch its first course around June, with a group of 12 would-be pilots. Two further intakes of 12 will follow later in the year. The trainees - school-leavers or college graduates - will move to Abu Dhabi where they will do around 18 months of ab initio training at Horizon Flight Academy (http://www.horizonuae.ae/faq.php), followed by several months of instruction and line-flying under supervision as second officers. They will pay back their fees over eight years as bonded pilots.
The airline, which is expecting a "massive response" to its first advertisements, is looking for "people with a passion who are committed to being a pilot as a long-term career", says Etihad's executive vice-president operations Richard Hill. "We will be selecting from the top percentile of applicants - the cream of the crop," he adds.
A total of 48 students will join the separate scheme for UAE nationals in the first year. The airline is keeping the two groups apart initially because of different skills sets and competence in English, but they will be integrated as soon as they begin their flying careers. "We want to make sure there is no divisiveness," says Hill.
Etihad has a fleet of 37 aircraft and will take delivery of 16 more by 2011, including seven Airbus A330s (http://www.flightglobal.com/directory/searchresults.aspx?navigationItemId=388&aircraftCategory=CommercialAircraft&manufacturerType=CommercialAircraft&searchMode=keyword&Keyword=a330&Manufacturer=) and four A320s (http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2008/01/01/221129/airbus-a320-aircraft-profile.html) Dubai-based rival Emirates says it has no plans to launch a similar scheme, although, like Etihad, it runs a cadet programme for nationals.* Flight International will be covering Etihad's plans in detail in our Careers in the Middle East supplement with our 8 April issue.
Separately, the carrier as a major sponsor of Ferrari F1 this season the team unveiled its 2008 livery at the Australian Grand Prix (http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2008/03/13/222198/pictures-etihad-airways-signs-three-year-sponsorship-deal-with-ferrari.html)

Yup CIA has the most advanced equipment but they don't have enough instructors to teach their students thats why they also fly at Omni with Omni's FIs. So choose Omni direct or CIA in which eventually you'll also end up flying at Omni? :confused:

Maybe you should show your dad the link above.

I think its self explanatory

[markZFTpearson]

This is the reason why Gulf Air did not consider CIA for their cadets.

[AvEnthusiast]

Hi Friends, The website of Philippine Pilot Training Center is suspended. Does any one by any chance know, if it's only matter of domain expiray time or something has happened to PPTC?

[7th_Ace]

wow. thats interesting, 32k. ahm... im planning to Attend the pilot school things, and im new on it. i live here in angeles, and omni aviation is kinda expensive?(i think) so... the bottom line is that... how much is the schooling for a year?? whats that? same like college, (semester base?)

please reply

[tian yu]

Not anymore, most schools in the Phils come to about 38k now...my academy here in Dumaguete City (Aviation Training One International (http://www.avtraining1.com/)- formerly of Philippine Pilot Training Center) come to approx 46k for 180 hrs SE & 20 ME - CPL/IR.

Regarding the semester issue, some flight schools just takes up to abt 8-10 months for training. But I'd rather put it around 1 year to complete.

I'll say that you will get NO fakes at Clark Aviation! Guaranteed!

[Aerocadet]

Picking flying schools for flight training is really hard.. I have been in a flight school where I wasted my money for bad services they gave me (unfair scheduling, etc.). Lesson learned.. BE CAREFUL! Look for a school that answers most of your concerns and meets your standards! But of course, remember to check out their Flight Instructor staff. The quality of training would really depend on them. Good luck to everyone else! :ok:

@Ridge Runner:
I think I'm going to agree with you. Clark Aviation has a very good reputation in the country and has produced numerous pilots especially under the MPL programme. They are too offering PPL-CPL/IR now. Honestly, I wanted to train there but due to financial reasons, training costs in Clark Aviation is higher, I opted to enroll in another school. :)

[caliboy01]

what school are you in aerocadet?
