Let's stick to the point please

RITZER82 is not asking about Aviator he is asking about EFT - so try and stick to the point - and comment on the Aviator thread rather than the EFT one and leave it to those who have trained at EFT to comment here. He is also based in the UK so most probably will require JAA training rather than FAA training. In my experience of flight training people who provide posts such as yourself often create most of their problems themselves - and any student or isntructor who knows about NH2390 will agree that he created his own problems.

Yes some instruction is provided by aviator instructors but that is the minority of the instruction. They currently have over 6 JAA qualified (who are also FAA instructors, all European - British, Danish, Itlalian) who provide well over 90% of the training done at EFT so therefore EFT are providing their own training. If EFT wasn't a real school it wouldn't be granted FTO status by the UK CAA. All APP instruction bar the initial CFI is now provided by EFT instructors and not Ari-Ben instructors (With one exception - a wee Scottish girl lol)

Regarding schools being attached to other schools - this is common practice and not unusual among the JAA Flight Schools based abroad. EFT is just one of such schools doing so.

NH2390 - Now that the questions have been answered properly regarding EFT - why don't you create a post explaining your experiences at Aviator on the Aviator thread, rather than replying to posts and keeping your experiences to yourself and moaning about a school you never attended (Please don't reply on this thread.) - at least that way you'll be providing some positive input to this forum. Your comments are out of date and irrelevant to the EFT thread.
