Ditto the previous contributors comments. The forum can and is used for a bit of argy bargy.
I went to PAT and found the environment very conducive into the learning and acquiring my cpl/ir.(Ist timepass)
The quality of school is with the instructors who are very knowledgeable and in my case patient and the owners who have an open door policy.
The school during the time I was there always had a heathy student instructor ratio (2/1) which gave ample time for briefing sessions either side of flight or sim session. I experienced no problems with aircraft serviceabilty my only regret been that I missed out on using the new FNPT2 which is an excellent training platform.
All in all I would have no problems recommending PAT but as I have said before in a previous thread the buck stops with the student . The course is hard ( or at least I found it hard) and you will only get out what you put in.
In any case good luck
