I am looking at booking my ppl at FIS this March. I have been sent a booking form by the FIS team asking for around 16% holding deposit plus 5,000 euros to be paid on or before arrival. From what I have read else where this is not standard. A holding deposit of 10% is typical, from there I should only expect to keep a positive balance in a flying account. I am a bit put off by the 5,000 euro curve ball.
Any advice from others who have flown at FIS and thier payment structure would be very much appreciated.
