I am just contemplating the idea of doing a PPL in Philippines solely for leisure reasons at the moment. I am being posted to Philippines on a business trip for one year. Isn't CAAP not a member of ICAO, will I have difficulty converting it?
Can you not do a PPL in Philippines and perhaps do a CPL in some other more developed countries?

The only reason why I am doing a PPL in Philippines is because I have been sent here to work for my company for a period of 1-2 years.
Is CAAP not a member of ICAO? The training method and materials they use should at least have some level of decency, I suppose? Do you foresee any difficulties in doing a conversion back in my country? If I do a conversion in my country, then I will be eligible to do a CPL, no?
Thanks in advance.

I personally know pilots who have certificates that have aircraft on them that they have never flown and also have ratings they have never tested for.
As far as your country conversion, a lot depends. You are only as good as your training. Most countries see through the pathetic BS of CAAP.

Thanks for the heads up, appreciate it!
I'm from Singapore and the flying schools here only issue restricted PPL due to space constraints. To achieve full PPL, the solo x country flight has to completed else where.
I'm doing PPL for leisure and I'm still in the process of filtering out the best aviation schools in Luzon.
I'm getting mixed feedbacks for Omni and AAA, appreciate if anyone can give latest feedbacks and price!

Thanks for the heads-up, appreciate it.
The other reasons why I am not doing it here in Singapore is because the PPL is restricted (cross country flight has not be done overseas due to space constraints) and the cost is relatively cheaper.
I am in the process of filtering out the better fly training schools, so that I can quality training. I am not going to compromise my personal safety to save money.
Appreciate if any students from Omni or AAA can give feedbacks!

How much is P1.5m in indian rupees??please help me need the details for cpl help me !
@jester
thanks for the tips. im sure omni has enough trainer planes, they ordered 6 more cessnas. this is also an indicator that their student population is increasing.
@mplcadet
from what i've read, CA has their own planes. so why did you have to fly at omni?
@smiling goat
do you know how much PAL av charges for PPL, CPL and IFR? i inquired at omni and it costs P1.5M for the PPL, CPL and IFR.
Do you guys know any graduates of omni? i'd like to know how their aviation careers are doing. like what airlines do they work for.
i think schools are successful if their graduates are successful.

thanks for all the info. im pretty much decided that im going to omni since 1) it costs much cheaper than PAL and CIA.(P1.5M for the PPL, CPL and IFR). last time i heard, PAL costs P2.5M for the ab-initio pilot program.
2) quality training. the increase in the number of students are a proof of this and besides the accident in december 2007, theres not much bad things to say about them. also, CIA wouldnt entrust their students to a low quality school. especially since they're shelling out P4M.
3) 1 student 1 instructor is great. although i doubt they could keep that up with all the students.
all i need to do now is secure an SPL from the ATO.
any tips for this? Omni accepts students with glasses, im not sure about ATO.

Hey Guys, just wanted to ask if OMNI's ACTP program is good? Is it worth the money? Based on the previous years, it seems that their graduates are A320 type rated but now they say its only a qualification for the type rating?? So I was wondering if its worth the hype. Thank you for your response!

Don’t waste your time and money in getting a CAAP license, or at least wait 5-10 years until all the qualified jobless pilots are either retired or re-accepted in their airlines.

Are you aware of the MASSIVE amount of filipino qualified pilots jobless? PAL, AirAsia and Cebu have fired more than a thousand pilots, all rated and experienced in all fleets, more to come due to the poor Government management of the COVID. Most filipino pilots wont be accepted out of the Philippines, either due to the low standards, the Class I medical or just because several countries will not accept a CAAP license except maybe Bamboo and couple more.

With that being said. Do you guys have any idea about this ACTP program OMNI offers? And if OMNI is still one of the best flight schools here in the Philippines? I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
