Egnatia - find out the facts!

A friend of mine instructs there and she couldn't do more for the students! They have more a/c than instructors so can cope with one going tech.

Don't believe all this bulls**t about CPL in a week. I did mine on a complex single - 15 hours and it took 4 weeks with Cabair, one of the leading UK schools. It was a flight every other day but there is a lot of ground study required for both the CPL and IR and most people don't realise this, so study when not flying. Once you start the IR you will be glad of a days breather - it's demanding!

Go speak to people for yourself and see what it is really like!

Everyone slags OFT on this forum also but I did most of my initial training with them and the instructors are very knowledgable and happy to help. You will get messed around a little by most flight schools including Uk ones!

Best of luck with your studies.
