OK I called Aeromadrid yesterday and talked to a really professional, EXCELLENT english speaking representative.

The conversion can be done in Spain, but only for the ratings. He recommended that I do the single engine Commercial license under the CAA here in the UK, and then do the Multi engine rating and IR multi at their school in Spain. Then, I can also do the MCC and type rating, if I require, through them.

The prices were also emailed to me immediately and I was shocked at how much LOWER they are compared to the disgusting prices that the UK CAA is charging. The skills test alone is just €240 in Spain compared to £691 (€1036!!!) in the UK. So over all there is a difference of (drumroll...) 796 euros!!

Now my big question is does anyone know the quality of the aircraft and instruction at Aeromadrid?

They have the PA34-200 from my understanding. Has anyone flown their Senecas?

Any comments are greatly appreciated.
