American Aviation Academy

Well Not much to say as negative -

Good Accommodation Cheap Flying on very Old Air crafts. Not "well managed " instructor cadre though as most them are on temporary basis whose getting paid peanuts so cant expect much from them in terms of training & they regularly fire instructors and if you are lucky you will get yours fired in the next morning and left with no option that to run to another one to get accustomed. , no proper structure as nobody really knows what you are doing unless otherwise you approach them and ask ' what should i be doing next; '

felt really lost for more than four weeks as it was more like a distant learning as you are left for your self to learn - and they are no guidelines laid by the school for students ( for me ) what to complete/when to complete - you will be just floating as no proper structure !!!

the guy who's preparing the contract for you doesn't really know the requirements & tends to leave non feasible time frames for course completions ( at least for FAA )

But was very happy with the only EASA Instructor - I can say the best !! ( Mr. Paul ) who's really passionate towards his job and what he teaches his students - non profit based i could say. wish i was doing easa instead of FAA.

I will say the experience is 50 - 50 . But they have the capability to do better but think they just don't care.
