Sadly, DEFTS has no capacity at the moment.
I was due to start on 28 July and they cancelled me due to taking on foreign students.
As a current military pilot based close by, I still wanted to do the course (that's what ELC is for, after all) so stated I would get back to them when I managed to find another 6-week hole in my schedule (ha ha)
Just received an e-mail from Tim stating that there are going to be no courses in the next few months and then the fleet changeover from Firefly to Grob(?) effectively stops FIC(R) at DEFTS for the forseeable future.
Bugger.
I might be spending the next 20+years of my spare time teaching in a C-152 or PA-28 but I'd have much preferred learning in a Firefly with an ex-mil instructor.
Ho hum, such is life as a small fish in a (lots of foreign money for the contractor) pond.
