I am currently attending oft and have seen many students come and
GO because of various issues with their business model
.
The consencus seems to be that if you are doing hour building here oft is only just about bearable to get your hours complete. Be prepared to have to fly dual hours with an instructor (more than neccessary) before they let you get on with your hour building, I have seen this first hand repeatedly recently. Be aware that planes are currently unavailable on a Sunday when you are booking your plane tickets and allow enough time because of this.
Do not keep money in your 'account' at oft for it will deplete extremely quickly! -Instead pay as you go if you can. Be aware that you cannot withdraw money again from
your account without incurring a 25% withdrawal fee.
Right now the weather is'nt very good for flying, you will need to turn up at 8AM to ensure you get a slot in a suitable plane, and also the weather should be good enough to get a flying session in. You can also wait until the end of the day when most students' slots are complete and have planes available then, the weather tends to be awful in the evening as it is
right now however.
The planes numbers beginning N6..... tend to be the craft in better condition with less things out of service upon them.
Try not to stay in their student apartments if possible, there are
much better apartments available for a
lot less money. If you have to then insist upon '
venetian bay' and not '
kissimmee pines'.
Planes can be available instantly if they are available... its better they earn their keep then stay on the ground.
