The cost granted, but the piont of a valuable, worthy IR is to fly in IR conditions, ie ice matters, RT matters, The pressure of real IR flying to gain a quality rating is to gain one that counts. Flying in simulated IR in CAVOK conditions........USELESS!
The cost may be less but it is the quality of training and not just a stamp in the book.
A sad fact is the level of quality training is lower than a well established reputable UK school.
RESULT....... more and more pilots failing SIM assessment flights and the level of competence being lower. Even worse is the fact that this will result one day in a hull loss.
Stick to quality UK schools, get the best from them and support UK flying before it loses out to sub standard Spanish options.
With a school like Bonus you know you will have a good quality IR that one day your life and others will depend on!
Too many complain about lack of schools in the UK and the sad falling numbers of clubs here in the UK and then take their business abroad.
Demand quality and not a few weeks in the sun in CAVOK. Learn your profession well.
It was taken for granted that an UK trained pilot was the best in the world lets support UK schools and maintain that standard!
