GR340,
Bring plenty of cash, and be prepared for a long, long, stay!
I signed up there for a 4 week PPL course.
6 weeks later I gave up and went somewhere else to finish.
While I was there, 1 English, 2 Irish, 1 Austrian, 1 Spanish, and 1 Italian also gave up in disgust, as well as quite a few Americans. The only one to actually get a licence was the Spanish guy, and that in itself is a really funny story! He threw a tantrum in the Chief Pilots office, and went back to the hotel in tears and called his Mother. She called the school, and he got his licence the next day in a 152. That evening, he was also checked out in a Warrior, Archer, Arrow, and 172.

The Italian is sueing. I WAS going to sue to get back an extra $1500 I was conned out of, but decided not to. There were 48 other suits already filed in the local court, as well as numerous others in different courts.

Personally, I would never go near them again.
Send me an e.mail and I'll give you all the gory details, if you want.
