I want to do a PPL in Eastern/Central Europe and I'm looking for a good flight school.
(I know there are similar Threads and I read them, but so far didn't come to a conclusion)
My requirements would be:
Theory Online/Distance learning
Flexible and fast practice part (e.g. flexible flying, multiple hours per day if it makes sense)
Nearby international airport (I'm based in Dubai and would fly there for practice)
Nearby city where you can live for few weeks with just speaking English
Good/suitable aircraft and instructors
Optional:
Schools offering courses for follow up after PPL
So far I found the following options:
FlyCoop, Budaörsi, Hungary (not sure if Budaörsi is good for traing/nearby BUD + couldn't find reviews about them here)
AirWin, Tököl, Hungary (not sure if 'AT Aero-3' is good aircraft, also could not find reviews here)
PannonAir, Tököl, Hungary (they only do 1 hour/day/person)
Pan Aero, Zadar, Croatia (seems fine, but Zadar is not so convenient to fly to)
Bartolini Air, Lodz, Poland (seems also fine, but Lodz is 1-2 hours away from Warsaw)
FlyForFun, Sazena, Czechia (seems like a small / entry-level flight school)
Can anyone give recommendations or does it actually matter/do I overthink here?
