Having first hand knowledge of the Egnatia Experience, I would strongly advice any and all student pilots to avoid this school like the plague. The school has a fleet of 5 DA40's of which only 2 work, also 1 DA42 which suffers an unusual amount of engine failures. The Head of Training is an over zealous control freak and will think nothing of humiliating students for not being able to answer a question, then ground you for a few days to a week. It really just depends on what mood he's in on any particular day. You are often booked for slots without being told and then charged a no show fee when you don't turn up for a lesson you didn't know you had. Also slots are cancelled last minute without you being notified and for what seams to be no good reson. Special treatment is often given to the Greek students and everyone else is pushed to the side and made to wait. None of the students at the school are happy as the environment you are in is very oppressive. You are investing alot of money throughout your training and you need to have a stable encouraging environment in which to study. This is sadly not the case at Egnatia. ATPL ground school is given by students who have only just passed the exams themselves, so your not really getting qualitiy experience and guidence there. Overall is an experience best avoided, be smart and spend your precious time and money elswhere.
