About Aerofan
First of all Peg. It's all very well giving out information but I honestly don't think it's fair to give out information that is not correct. Please don't lie.
1. Aerofan is a member of the RACE (Royal Spanish Air Club) and rents out over 4000 square feet of RACE instalations, including a private apron (only available to the Aerofan fleet), classrooms, simulator rooms and all the students at Aerofan are entitled to use the RACE swimming pool, tennis courts and all other ground instalations. And they do!!
2. No FTO located at Cuatro Vientos Airport owns any property whatsoever. All buildings in the AENA area are owned by AENA. All buildings in the RACE area are owned by the RACE.
3. The building that you mention belongs to AEROFAN, infact doesn't! It also belongs to the RACE. Just like AeroMadrid, Aerotec and all the others.
Having noticed that you seem very pro-AeroMadrid, I should like to mention that just two weeks ago, 5...yes 5 Aeromadrid students enroled in modular CPL/IR/ME courses at Aerofan because they were fed up of waiting to fly at AeroMadrid.
This is the truth and these are facts, not what you seem to include in your messages.....I wonder why?
Muck,
I'm afraid thet under JAR regulations you can't train for your CPL in any country other than the one where you took your theory exams for that licence. You must do your CPL training in the UK if you took your ATPL theory exams in the UK. All other training for ratings such as ME/IR/ME-IR can be done in any JAR state. It is standard procedure. There are several flight schools in Madrid that offer these courses, but I recommend that first of all you must check out whether you will be able to complete the course in a reasonable amount of time.
Also, check out whether they have native UK instructors. As far as I know, most of them don't. Aerofan does (just as a matter interest).
good luck.
