I am a foreign (non EU member country) student aswell and heard about Smart Aero or SmartAero (styling not uniform enough) in Poland. Did someone inquire about them being EASA approved ATO ? I will inquire regardless just want to know if someone already did and how they responded.
I plan to do a PPL(a) as a first step after YEARS of only thinking about it, I want to do it cheap (not dirt cheap, because that will come with minimal professionalism) and professional.
Also is there any SOLID option in Czech Republic ? From what I read its 50:50 ratio of scummy schools and legit professional ATOs
