Eagle Flight Training....umm....errr..

Recently needed to get an ILS endorsement. Never got around to it before now but all of a sudden I needed it. Fairly experienced IFR pilot and have flown an ILS many times but only as a LOC approach. Calling around to get some quotes, without even asking my experience Eagle flat out tell me 4 hours flying needed?!?! 4 hours training to do something I can already do (just not to the lower ILS minima of course). Guy on the phone sounded like a tool and again flat out told me 4 hours flying. Took my money to a much more helpful organisation in another centre and we had two approaches done and I was signed off barely an hour after arriving on the airfield (and for a rock bottom price).

I was certainly not going to pay for extra unnecessary flying just to line someone elses pocket
