"I also visited Bonus Aviation in Cranfield and on the whole, it seemed like quite a friendly school but their facilities seemed a bit 'outdated', just a few porter cabins with no glass cockpit aircraft, hence it seemed a bit pointless as it's quite far from home. "
Thats exactly why i chose them , no glass , no autopilot , 6 levers to really max you out while flying the aircraft , hands on , steam dials etc has increased my mental capacity to deal with all this at the same time as an EFATO/GA.
Important questions i asked : Student/instructor ratio , aircraft downtime , pass rate on IR/CPL , couldnt particularly give a stuff if they had new buildings and posh coffee making facilities (we know who ultimately pay's for this dont we?!)
Indy , im sure your a nice guy but i fear from your posts you are looking for a school that fits your image instead of your training requirements.
