I went there last year and I'd say there's a 50/50 chance you'll end up with some unneccary drama. At least from my experiance. After trying to get back my money for 4-5 months of calling/emailing and being shouted at by the owner over the phone, accussing me for "harrasing them". I ended up having to hire a lawyer to get the money back (I was planning on coming back, but decided not to).

The instructors are great though! Managment? Not so much! There was also 2 accidents during my stay. One engine failure midflight, and one just after take off (landed in the golf course right next to the runway and ended up in the trees). Thank god noone got seriously hurt!

So my advice would be to think twice, but like I said some people get out of there with no problems at all, while others, such as myself, aren't as lucky!
