Clark Aviation- MPL in Philippines
As we all know that Gulf Air stopped recruiting new cadets, the whole process has been held by Bahrain Development Bank (BDB) with association with Clark Aviation in Pampanga (Philippines). The bank offers educational loans up to BD30,000 to study in any flight school, and brought Clark Aviation to do the assessments for their candidates. Clark aviation has perfect training facilities and provides professional training simulators and ground school study environment.
Today a seminar was organized by the BDB which was supposed to clarify everything to the selected candidates and help them make their mind to choose whether to take the loan or not. Unfortunately, the seminar was more into negative points about Clark Aviation and created suspicious thoughts in their applicant’s minds.
The main concerns about Clark Aviation in the Philippines are that they still did not register their training aircrafts under the Philippines authorities. In addition, they need to approve their authorization with the Philippines authorities to be able to issue the MPL by end of the training. Moreover, the school has to improve its accommodation facilities to be able to accommodate almost 40 Bahrainis who would be sent by the BDB.
So, Clark Aviation!!! I guess these things must be clarified as soon as possible. Otherwise, you guys will be losing an investment of BD1.2 Million!!! A whole batch of 40 students will be diverted to another school maybe in Jordan or anywhere else.
The MPL course has a perfect curriculum and based on smart flying training including A320 type rating. The only thing is to make sure that Clark Aviation in Pampanga can provide the full training and secure issuing the MPL for their students.
