Rhea I found the training with the flight instructors to be good, but the sim training was in hindsight very poor with the basics not being taught correctly this isn't just my opinion but also that of other students and instructors.
Cliff the ex CFI is now at PAT and is well respected on the airfield both by other instructors and the CAA examiners so I will most likely go and finish my training there.
Other students aren't so lucky and are owed large sums of money and have had to put flight training on hold indefinitely!!!
The thing with PFT is that although there website claims they have 5 planes they in fact only have 1 full time plane and that is hired they also advertise a 2:1 ratio of student to instructor and this was never evident in the time I was there.
if you need any further advice pls pm me.
Cheers
