JAA Flight Instructor course in UK
Hi,
I am JAA ATPL(A) "Frozen" with about 800 hours and interested on FI(A) course in U.K.
After a study between prices, I selected the cheapest schools as follows:
Bonus Aviation,The Pilot Center, Aviation South West.
The CAA/JAR syllabus of FI(A) course are all the same, but my concern is about the reputation, quality and also the chance of the oportunity of been hiring or at least do the 100 hours of supervision.
Could anyone help me in get more information/experiences about this schools?
Thanks a lot.

Can recommend Eva and Ian at The Pilot Centre, Denham.
Usually a one-to-one or one-to-two course, run at your pace on your (time) terms. Tidy, well maintained aeroplanes. With 2 FIC instructors on staff they can usually fit you in reasonably quickly.
Not sure about the 100 hours - but don't forget that its also 25 solo signoffs and a recommendation from the supervising instructor which will remove the restriction.
You know it!

I would certainly recommend the Pilot Centre at Denham.
I'm sure you're looking for a good, consistent instructing product to be delivered to you, and I know you'll get that at TPC. I did my FI course there in 2006. The proof is in the pudding of course, and I think i've had sufficient feedback from very experienced commercial examiners and pilots to qualify my recommendation.

I used to fly at Denham - can't recommend Eva highly enough.
You might also look at Carol Cooper at Andrewsfield. I did my FI renewal with her last year.

Try Sandra Haine at Airways Flying Club at Wycombe Air Park. Their fleet of aircraft are probably of the best maintained club aircraft in the country.
I have also heard that Carol Cooper over at Andrewsfield is spot on!

It's not all down to price. Try and visit a few of the schools and have a look around, maybe chat to a few of their current students. Cheap does not always equal quality and value for money!
You could try On-Track Aviation as another alternative.
