Triple A Flying

Just not worth the risk. There are loads of other schools around that have not sparked the debate triple a flying has. There is no smoke without fire. I know. I was an unfortunate attendee at Triple 'A' Flying. I got on just fine without the use of the so called experience imparted by the school. The "specialist teaching techniques, gained over twenty years in business" are no more specialist than any other flight training organisation and in many cases confused and corrupted what I had already learnt from other organisations.


Buyer beware:

Check and double check the list of promises on the website.

Check and double check the credentials of the instructors, flying as a pilots assistant in a Navajo or similar type does not count as "extensive corporate experience"! Look at logbooks!

Get 4 or 5 past students who YOU find to give you reccomendations.

Get very detailed costings from these people and watch the budget closely. And make sure that when there are 2 of you in on a briefing you are not being double charged!!!

This doesn't only go for Triple 'A' Flying, this goes for all schools. There are sharks out there, but this school needs special care.

Good Luck
