I would also comment that I was lead to believe there would be an aircraft ie PA28 Arrow, available for use when I arrived. I soon discovered that this was not the case and it had been u/s for several days before I had arrived.
More like 4-6 months. In the months August to December, only 1 CPL completed, everyone else hung around due to promises of the Arrow being fixed, but most eventually went home and then to a different flight school.
