Did IR and CPL with Aeros and would do FI with them too if I go that route.

Excellent school - new facilities, well maintained all Piper fleet and a new FNPT 2 for what that's worth. My biggest need was for a well organised course since I kept my 'day job' while flying. They delivered exactly what they promised, in the time they promised (5 weeks IR and 10 days CPL in my case). The instructors are a friendly bunch and know their stuff, they have a good relationship with the CAAFU examiners and Gloucester isn't a bad airfield to train from. They also work on a 2:1 student/ instructor ratio, flying every day M-F. That helps too.

Any downsides? They asked me to pay up front. This would not have been my first choice, though an educated bit of financial research revealed they are in no danger of going bust, which made it a risk worth taking IMO... Can't think of anything other than that.

If you want to know more, PM me.
