Re:US JAA approved schools opinions?
I was out at American Aviation (nee Anglo) in June for JAA PPL and IMCR renewal then back out again last week for a day rental.
There's a lot of renovation work underway at the moment so the place is a bit disorganised and I didn't see a lot of student activity (early on a Monday morning though). The 172 I flew seemed better maintained than some of the aircraft in the past with nothing obviously broken - although the radio PTT was a bit intermittent.
I know there has been a lot of negative posts in the past but I've always found them good value and have flown with them a couple of times a year at least since 2001. In the past you had to be quite pushy to get what you wanted out of your time there but no idea how things with be with the new owner - Tom - and Martin now as chief instructor.
It's a nice place to fly though.
