As a wannabee (doing alot of soaring/gliding at the moment), I have begun a survey about 4 months ago to find the cheapest and best schools, that has JAR-FCL cources AND is certified på JAA. Also the possibility og taking FAA certificates and convert them to JAA is being considered.
I have no limits of what country it could or should be, therefore this huge survey that is getting more complex day after day.
I will hopefully be finish with my surveys in a few weeks. Man, if there was only 5 schools it would be easy to choose. But no no, there are hundreds, thousands of them and one is claiming to be better and cheaper than the other
..
At this time I have also seen som interesting prices in Turkey and Spain (and of course the US). And yes, nothern Europe is very expensive. A JAA approved school in Denmark cost something around 75.000 - 85.000 Euro for a two year integrated ATPL course incl. MCC course and some 210-230 hours
...
Yet I have not been confirmed with the quality of all the schools I am looking at. But when I am done with the surveys, I shall show the results to those who want to see it. Might be a help for some people/wannabe's
...
And if anybody has good or bad experience with some schools, please let me know. It will be a great help
