Hi there,

I am also looking for flight schools in Sweeden. I didnīt know this one and don't have any feedback but it seems interesting and the airport very calm which is good.
I've looked at Air Diamond Academy at Kalmar and airwaysflygutbildning at bromma airport. Personally i'm looking for the best option for me as i'll have also to find a job which will pay for my training.

Regards

Both Airways and Diamond Academy are good with nice and honest people.
I would maybe recommend Diamond for you, since it's a smaller town were it's easier and cheaper to live.
(It's hard to find an apartment in Stockholm)

Also looking to go to Diamond in Kalmar next year. Can't find any info/opinions of people who actually went there though. Anyone?

Hello everyone !

I was browsing the forum about other info and came across this topic. So here's my feed-back about DFAS :

Good location in a quiet but well equipped Kalmar airport
Full equipped G1000 DA-42's, providing FADEC and Anti-ICE experience !
Experienced instructors who actually fly for living as well as instructing (at least Henrik and Michael do!) hence providing "real life" advice

As for my particular training - FAA IR conversion to JAA IR course - it was very well organized and educational ! The fabulous DA-42 simulator helped a lot in the procedures familiarization and practicing ADF (no ADF in FAA training). Then the actual flight training went through seamless and I completed the course in the advertised hours with a clean check-ride within 3 weeks and within advertised budget

As Kalmar itself, a beautifull city, clean and organized as usual in northern europe, nice place to stay for study or training. Not that fun for after hours fun though... I only had a couple days off, but didn't found any pleasant place to party at night in both attempts :-( Maybe some of you guys will be more lucky.

All in all, a flight academy I definetly recommend. Definetly for the FAA to JAA IR conversion, and possibly for other courses as well. After flight training experiences in Portugal, USA and then Sweden I should know about good and bad flight schools !

Good luck guys ! Send my regards to Henrik and Michael !!!
