Hi all
What I'd like to add is I had a great experience there . I was expected to work hard & be flexible but so was yuri - he would arrange hire of other aircraft so we could hour build . I experienced alot of wealthy Indian students there, some very capable and some not .
I believe aviation is something you deeply wish to do & probably need an aptitude for . You should not be pushed into it as it is a good profession or think by attending a course you will come out the other side automatically qualified on minimum hours.
I witnessed full time students taking 80 hours to do a ppl , flying daily. One got lost on a very simple navex by not sync ing the dg, then ignored radar help and stuck it in a field . Others were simply not taking lessons on board and needed so many extra hours that a guaranteed pass was unsustainable .
The school operates under the same pressures as any other but I'd say if you go there and work hard it will be a great experience .
I think of it fondly from the flightdeck of my 737 !
Ps
Is Danny bobs still the local bar ??!?
