PPL In Spain (Madrid)
 
PPL In Spain (Madrid)
Hi I wonder if anyone can help my son is currently trying to complete his PPL in Madrid Cuatro Vientos and has failed 5 of the 7 theory exams through lack of and bad tuition, he is using a private instructor, who now seems to want paying for the 40 odd hours up front. Told my son no way wait until you passed all the ground exams.

having a look in the forum Cuatro Vientos looks like a bit of a dump and does not get great reviews

So need help with:
  • how to book exams in Madrid
  • also can anybody recomend a school and or instructor around Madrid Cuatro Vientos orotherwise
BTW my son has practically no Spanish

Here is hoping "all comments greatly received"

Is he taking the Spanish exams. or UK? If the latter, have you tried the Oxford home study DVDs?

Those DVDs are more than adequate for PPL purposes:
Oxford Aviation PPL Study Package

If you don't want the DVD route, try this package - everything you need:
Transair Private Pilot (PPL) Study Pack

There are more outlets than Transair.

For what it is worth, I feel he should go the self study route and he (you...) should invest in a comfortable high spec. ANR headset.

Which 5 has he failed to pass?
