Flight schools Florida- My views (FlyOFT)

Well i arrived there for some hour building and a rating this year and what can i say?

Well to start off with...

People on here always say "oh you can move schools if you don't like them"

Which is all well and good but when it came the time for me who was frustrated with flyoft to change schools they say oh well we keep 25% of what money you have given us.

Note: you have to pay all upfront which they tell you once you have arrived.

Do not go for the cessna 150/152s, I overheard the tower on several occasions - moaning at the students in a positive way that the mechanics should have fixed that engine yesterday and not to send it up again, that was twice while i was flying, then you have the radio failures that they just say "well they weren't using it properly" and they just put something in the mx log so they don't have to do it.

Oh JP well he's a car salesman after 1 thing and doesn't tell you where the savings can be made.

On a Positive note:

Morag : Brilliant person - she got stressed because of the way things were run and has sadly left there.

Denise : lovely

And all the others eg. instructors were great

Try Flight safety, even though they don't do JAA
