Gordy yes did all my checks even called them from the UK you should thoroughly read the thread regarding the extras after I started the training CAA is the UK rating I went for my FAA and yes since I have made other enquiries regarding an alternative school I have heard complaints regarding that school and their add ons.
EddieHeli again you should read thoroughly its 20 mins there, 20 mins back that's 40 MINS out of your flying time NOT 20 yes it's valuable flying time but any novice can fly straight and level keeping within the parameters may be a bit more challenging not had an issue crossing the runway yet
