Wmu

[lekp]

Wrote to Wmu a couple of times to get some brochures and a pricelist but nothing has showed up, so I guess all ask here.

How much does the frozen ATPL cost at this school and can anybody recommend it compared to OATS, Jerez or Cabair?.

Is Wmu the place OATS uses for the 12 weeks training in US?.

thanks

No OAT don't use WMU for the 12 weeks of training in the US, they use UND(University of North Dakota) Aerospace's facility at Williams Gateway airfield at Mesa, Phoenix AZ.
As for prices etc I cannot help, but before you consider using a FTO that does not have it's main place of business in the EU to obtain a JAA License I suggest you read the posting by Rolling Circle on this subject: http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/Forum2/HTML/008625.html

I got the details from them back in May last year, but I imagine very little has changed.
Here goes;

Its an integrated course of 56 weeks with the first 52 weeks spent in the US. If you look on the CAA website www.srg.caa.co.uk (http://www.srg.caa.co.uk) you will see that this school is approved to do JAA training.
The final 4 weeks are spent in the UK for familiarisation and the IR test.
The brochures look really good, its a typical US college campus that has its own aviation block. It operates 60 aircraft from the WK Kellogg Airport at Battle Creek.
MCC is a 737-400 full motion sim
Price-
$72,500 ab-initio course.
$13,500 for accomadation (US and UK), lunch and dinner and transfers.

Hope this helps. You could find out more about them by doing a search on PPRUNE for IPTC (International Pilot Training Centre)

For WMU it is worth posting during the week as they don't work weekends, this should keep it on the front page until 1100z when you should get a response from someone there.
