V1 Aerodynamics CAE

[172 flyer]

Hello PProne,

Does anyone know anytihng about this flying college. http://www.v1aerodynamics.com/

I was impressed by their training advisor at the flyer exhibition. But the website seems confusing.

I was under the impression they're affiliated to or owned by CAE. At least some of the training is done by CAE. When you finish there would you be a CAE graduate from an employment perspective?

Anyone trained there? I'm thinking about going to their selection.

Thank you.

If you click 'about us' it doesn't say they are owned or affiliated to CAE.
Obviously, they just use CAE's simulators in madrid for the jet training.

PLus, I can't see how you would be a CAE graduate just by doing mcc/joc at their facilities.

Good to know. Thanks for the replies.

I've done some more research and can't find an actual real graduate from this college.

Not necessarily looking to train in Florida. From talking to their training advisor at the flyer show, I was under the impression I could finish under CAE's "umbrella" for a lot less money! He said I'd be a graduate of CAE.

Had a feeling it may be too good to be true. Just thought it was weird a college using positive attributes of their competitor to sell me their course. Weird.

I don't think that being a "CAE graduate" is going to help you get a job.Things that help are perhaps doing an actual tagged scheme through CAE themselves or CTC etc. A couple of people I work with now originally trained at CAE schools and it hasn't really done anything to help them.

well whoever/whatever it is, Aerodynamics Malaga must be closely affiliated as its their name and logo being used. Nothing wrong with that. I went there and did me no harm!

Im in Florida now on their course called Aerodynamics Pro Pilot. When i finish my basic training here i go Aerodynamics in Malaga for my CPL and IR. After that they send me to CAE in Madrid for MCC, so the MCC part is contracted out to CAE which for me is no issue because so far the training is fine.

Staff friendly, access to planes much better no that all the Panam cadets have finished + training in Florida is wicked. Also Vinny the boss here is always helpful.

Hope this helps.

I was in this course which began last year in August and left early only having completed my PPL and some hour Building, they used to run ATPL ground school in the states and one day out of the blue it shut down and they didnt have any other instructors to take over. ATPL was meant to resume in Spain a few months later, i was stuck paying rent for sitting around at home all day. the ground school in spain didnt open till alot later and i have paid some of my fees upfront, vinny wasnt issuing a refund. this school is just to make money they are not interested in anything else other than money. i know about 8 people who left the course and returned home who all had issues for different reasons. they are not capable of running a school with such a large amount of students avoid at all costs
