Ir/cpl Prices
Having just completed the theory I’m having trouble with understanding the schools pricing. I would have liked to do my training in one place but have had to work etc during my distance learning. I have decided to stay in Europe and decided on Spain due to weather. The problem I’m having is that Jerez offer a combined CPL/ME/IR for 27300 euros so that’s £20220 but they only do a total of 16 hrs in the aircraft for the IR and only a total of 42hrs in the aircraft. I don’t believe for one minute that you can successfully pass an IR with this little time on the first attempt. O.k. so you have the 27300 euros plus the test fees that’s another 2500 euros so that’s total 30000, which equates roughly to £22500. Then on the other hand BCT/Aerodynamics-Malaga does an 85 hrs course 25 duchess 40 Complex in Malaga and 15 in the Arrow for the CPL back in Kemble for £15995 all-inclusive, which is 21600 Euros. Additionally you can do a turbo type rating and 50 hrs line training for and additional £9500 (13000 euros) so for 34000 Euros you get an 85hrs CPL/IR/ME plus a turbo rating and 50 hrs line. Compared with just a 42 hr course for 30000, So which one would you take bear in mind I’m not a 21 year old whiz kid with a BA father. Also do names mean much these days. With Nikes made in Vietnam and Gucci in China are we being victims of advertising I just think being modular you need the licences and as much flight time and turbo experience as possible if your ever going to get to the airlines. I say SOD the Sims.
