Hey there;

I'm an Airmed student - as I have written times before, I choosed Airmed because they seemed to be a good place (visiting them and asking around in the Business) and even that I was tolled by people that Aero Madrid is a good well-known school (incl. from Airmed themself), I cancelled them due to lack of answers within resonable time - I'm now tolled that has changed - fine ..
Aero Madrid has no former experience with English ATP classes, something Airmed now has and something Aero Madrid has to go through now - it's alot of money to spend guys ..

Also they are not situated in an Airport with serious commercial traffic "to mingle around with" during take-off and landing procedures, no ILS and stuff like Valencia has and something that we are using or will be using / being affected by everytime we fly - a big pluss in my eyes ..
One can also choose here what kind of flying one wants within short distance - ocean, flatland, mountains ..
And I've seen your Airport because I visited Aerofan backthen ..

Regarding MCC course - comon - we are talking about MCC, not Type Rating - one can get that different places - the one Airmed has fullfill that purpose - 6-axes, full-motion - there is at Airmed a former Airbus engineer - he stated that Airmed's MCC simulator is close to the same as a Type Rating version - it's his words, don't know why I shouldn't believe that ..
And again - it's MCC course - it's being done on a Jet simulator with 6-axes motion (A-320) - and if one wants a Type Rating after completing the ATPL course, there is many places to go ...
And by the way - how many hours is it you get at Aero Madrid in your Level D A-320 simulator ??

And about the ground teachers at Airmed - have nothing to complain about - in general they now their stuff very well and what they are talking about and several of them has a solid background in the subject they are teaching ...

And practical things - how long distance is it now that the students has from where they live to the Airport at Quatro Vientos (in time/minutes) ..
From what Aerofan showed me it looks like a nice long walk ..


Best Regards;
madman - a happy Airmed student
