All of the practical flying phase (except the UPRT) is here in Granada, yes.
The UPRT is done back in the UK after the core phase is completed.
In terms of instructors available to us, we have actually asked on many occasions for them to tell us exactly how many are available to be scheduled with us, and they have refused to tell us everytime we've asked.
So, we can only work off the instructors we're actually seeing. In the first phase, which is all VFR, there are more instructors available than in the second phase which is IFR. The issue we've been told is that in order to teach UK cadets, each instructor must have a UK CAA accreditation, and then a second UK CAA accreditation to teach IFR. Where as the non UK based cadets don't seem to have that restriction from their national aviation authority.
So, for us, not every instructor is able to actually teach us, even if they hold their own IR rating.
It's our personal opinion that there is not enough instructors, especially for the IFR phase. Although we've been told for months that "more instructors are coming", we've actually seen more instructors leave than arrive.
But on a positive note, the instructors we do have here are actually very good. We're not just saying that because it's public facing here, they really are good and do give their best to each cadet. As is with anything these days, the problems come from management and HOW things are operated. The instructors get a tough time of it just as much as we do to be honest.
