Are the training planes still safe ???
My son is going to get his PPL. The school where he is going to do it is in Peru. The best and largest in Peru. (Master of the Sky). Their track record is good. But I had a look yesterday at their school and the planes are all a bit old.. but I have no idea about planes. (I am a telecoms guy). And maybe this is perfect ok. Can somebody advice me that I should not be worried and that these planes are still often used and are safe ? The reason that he does it in Peru is that I am Dutch but his mother is Peruvian and in the summer holidays he is with us and then can do his PPL here. The weather in Peru is perfect and you can fly every day in Peru which ensures he can get his license before he goes back to study for his masters in The Netherlands. The training school has also a licensed maintenance team for these planes and does this also for other planes which they not own.
