Well I know that this has been discussed long time ago, however I think id share my experience as a Maltese Citizen. For information only we are one of the few countries that speak fluent english!
So I take that as an INSULT! when you ask if we speak english and with all due respect you must live in the dark ages to actually assume.
I have peronally studied my JAA PPL license with Malta School of Flying. At the time the training by the instructor assigned to me was impecable!
One thing which dissapointed me is that the course was oversighted by 3494 euros and I was really dissapointed. The aircraft are maintined to the level of safety, they use them constantly almost 12 hrs a day non stop so dont expect them to be new! Both c172 are of 1965 if I am correct.
Malta is a nice place to fly with spectacular views. Its a must to perform some local flights.
Current prices are: C152 120euros/hr
C172 150euros/hr
C206 is currently leased to a spanish company performig banner towing.
hope this helps you all.... and for the record English is our Second language!
My 2 cents.
