I did CPL/IR and MCC at Halfpenny Green Flight Centre, Wolverhampton - and don't have a single bad word about them, since I'll also be starting an FI course there in a few months time. Even the coffee's decent in the PPL building... Reasonable prices and most of the airborne training is on the DA-42 Twinstar, a very nice piece of kit indeed to fly, and with significantly higher IR first time pass rates than other aircraft. Their prices are on their website and are pretty much exactly what I paid.

Yes, Florida is cheaper, but there are question marks over how relevant the training is there - without wanting to touch on the debate of the quality of training, the flying environment over there is of course different to other countries. This can lead to conversion courses being a bit longer than expected, so wiping out most of the saving. Not to say that there aren't of course plenty of perfectly good FAA ATPLs flying! But I know which option I went with & why...
