I'm also looking to do ME-IR flight training in Spain. I've looked at the Airpal website but can't find any mention of prices.
Could you please tell me what you paid for the ME-IR (not including ground school and exam costs, as I've done the writtens in the UK)?
The Spanish test fee of only 150 Euros is amazing. Our dear old "campaign against aviation" is now charging £637 for the same test!
Could you please also let me know the following:
How good are the instructors, and what is their experience level?
What kind of condition are the aircraft in? I assume the twins are HSI and RMI equipped.
I assume that tuition in English is available. I speak reasonable Spanish but an English speaking instructor would be preferred.
Are you expected to pay up front, or can you pay-as-you-go?
Flying in the Balearics this winter sounds like more fun than dear old blighty. I've already done some VFR flying there in a C172 and Cherokee 6 and it was brilliant.
Cheers

AeroDynamics?
As well as AeroMadrid does anyone have any experience with Aerodynamics in Málaga?
As for American Flyers in Madrid, I asked for information from their web page two weeks ago. Called them three times complaining and still haven't received anything.
One time they actually asked me to call another day back because they were having a party!

IR in Spain this summer
Hi,
I'm planning to do my Instrument Rating in Spain this summer (June), there are 1000's of topics on spainish FTO's here so why not raise a new one
Does anyone have any information on how long you usually have to wait to begin a course with Aerofan/Aerodynamics, that is how long in advance you normally have to book a course?
Currently I'm thinking about doing this IR Advanced course with Aerofan that includes 52 twin hours for 14.400 Euro.
If anyone has any experience from this school/course, comments would be well appriciated.
until later...

AERODYNAMICS
Malaga is an international airport with 650 flights a day VOR NDB AND ILS approaches. Aerofan is not an Instrument aerodrome and you have to fly out to Salamanca and other aerodromes for instrument training. cheap is not the way. Aerodynamics is a well recognised training and charter company within Spain flying local Celeb's including the Real Madrid footballers around. Plus your on the coast.

I was thinking of doing my CPL, Multi and IR out in spain starting May time through to August (at a different FTO) ; however a few people have warned me off, as with the temperature so high out there in the summer, nobody flys (until much later on in the afternoon) because of the actual aircraft temperature operating limits! Also, they said stuck in a sim in those temperatures can be quite unbearable!
Just wondered if anyone had said similar to you?!
Good luck with everything!

ME/IR Conversion in SPAIN
Holding a FAA ME/IR, and UK issued JAA CPL, is it possible to convert the FAA ME/IR into a JAA ME/IR in Spain and ask the CAA to add it to the JAA CPL?
Does somebody knows what the process consist in? I know about the 15 hours, 10 in the sim, 5 in the plane.
Did somebody convert it in Spain? What kind of paperwork if some is needed to apply for the license?
Any school recomendations? Aerofan? Aerodynamics?
Thanks a lot,
KniK

Good school in spain for MEIR!!!
I am planning to go to spain to go and do my meir and have heard from a couple of guys who went and they recommended some schools down there but I'll like to get a more diverse opinion before i commit myself.
Part of the reason is the cost saving they mentioned. One of them got his multi engine ir for just over 6 grand and another guy told me the same thing as far as I know they had no problems with the caa issuing thier license.
For this price is there a catch?. Your advice will be highly appreciated.
Based on what I've heard I am concidering Aeromadrid.
