Are second-hand experiences from 5 or 6 years ago really very relevant?
Never been a customer of Aviator, but I did my CPL at EFT, who use Aviator's aircraft, and the general feeling around the place certainly wasn't all doom and gloom, as most of the posts here would have you believe.
The 100 hours multi is indeed 50 hours of P1 and 50 hours of safety-pilot. And if you intend to use the time to gain JAR licenses, or a job in Europe, you can't use any of the 50 hours of safety-pilot time. So the question is whether the price is good for
50 hours of multi-time. I haven't checked prices recently, but I gather that, when you look at it this way, their price is around average, or possibly slightly lower than average because of the very high usage their aircraft get.
Razelle, please tell me what relevance the fuel truck has? Do you really expect a brand-new tanker when you're looking for budget flying? Yes, it's a bit old, and it breaks down from time to time (and is replaced by another truck when it does break down), but if you're really going to make a decision on where to rent aircraft based on that......
Lewy, do a search on this forum. You'll find that Aviator have been discussed many times before. As far as I can rememer, they've never come under as much fire as they have this time - which is why I find the replies you've received here so strange.
