[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Indeed it is the excellent test results[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']I have it from the horses’ mouth that there has been only one first time pass in the last twelve months- so pretty average probably[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Unrivalled quality of training[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Again, on who’s scale? How can this statement ever be justified? Not on exam passes that’s for sure[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']...as well as Multi Crew Co-operation Courses (MCC) and Jet[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Orientation Courses (JOC).[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']This is a lie. These are NOT offered at BCFT[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']As a major Industry provider BCFT is aware that not only must the training and results be above average for the prospective airline pilot, but to have conducted all of the training from start to finish within the same organisation is very much the preferred route.[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']This is suppositional claptrap. There are many many people who have conducted training at various establishments now at...RyanAir for example....[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']neighbouring club house[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']If the definition of neighbouring is three statute miles, then, yeh ok[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']tailored to each individual’s needs and budget[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']I was given a price, regardless of my ‘budget’. Are we to assume that a CPL is reduced from 25 to 10 hours if you are skint?[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Indeed we are one of the lowest priced operators in the area (with no middle[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']man, we can pass the savings on to the student).[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Same prices at PAT and the others in the area[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The centre operates a complete range of flight simulators, ranging from non specific type trainers to full type specific FNPT2s. Full flight Lockheed Tristar and 747 simulators are used for MCC and JOC[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']They don’t have two out of the three of these- guess which?[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']All of BCFT’s fully Commercial Approved Instructors either have been, or are still in the Airline Industry, with a background of Public Transport Operations[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']This is not true. [/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The resulting high pass rate... extremely proud of its high pass rate[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Average at best.[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Structuring 2 students to 1 Instructor with their own allocated aircraft.[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']This is not true.[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']For the dedicated student who is perhaps living in rented accommodation, minimum course times are paramount[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']So for me who is living at home, my course can be extended???[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Furthermore all prices quoted are fully inclusive, i.e.VAT, landing fees, approach fees etc. Therefore there are no hidden extras. “[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']This is not true. You pay up to £40 for approach fees at the airports they use.[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The C172 aircraft is a fully equipped 4 persons aircraft It has long range tanks, and there is no stipulation on where you can fly in Europe, as long as the airfield is suitable and licensed[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']I saw the 172 and believe me, you would take the ferry from Poole...[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The candidate pays the standard PPL hire rate for the C172 of £120.00 per hour. At the end of their CPL and IR training with BCFT, the difference of £35.00 per hour is reimbursed[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']So what happened to no money up front? That was quickly forgotten![/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And, when I was there a banner was being put up that clearly stated ‘Integrated Modular’ or was made to give a misleading idea of the course offered. This is immoral and wrong.[/FONT]
