I have just recently moved to Istanbul. I have a JAA ppl and have been tossing the idea around for sometime to finish my CPL. Unfortunately my PPL is about to expire so will have to renew within the next couple of months. Any schools or clubs to recommend? What can one roughly expect to pay per hour wet for say a C152/PA28?

Ta. :ok::ok:

Ayjet is the best overall-school of what I heard it from pilot students of Turkish schools.

Do the turkish schools offer JAA courses or just ICAO courses?
When someone takes lessons in Turkey the final examinations from the local authorities can be done in english and not turkish?
Thanks

I am Turkish by birth but my entire flying has been on USA. Met-Air and DUHA are out of business. The Turkish 'bazaar' mentality shows up in every single aspect of training.. I have visited Ayjet and was impressed with their set up.. Their attitude to flying, equipment is much better than ANY places I have seen in Turkey..

Pencil whipping, bargaining for flight time, logging flight hours in single flight to 3-4 pilots is a known occurrence in there. Just my $0.02

Ayjet is a little out of my price range. :sad::sad::sad: Are there any other recommendations? I just want to renew my PPL and maybe build a few hours. I know its a long shot but Im desperate but if any one has a spare seat available Im more than willing to chip in for some gas. :ok::ok:
