Thanks again Claycomm,
I emailed them a few days ago, but have heard nothing back from them so far, is this slow communication typical, its not a good start for me
How many hours (PPL) do you need to start the course?
They quote £5995 in the banner ad here on pprune, however your price at a rate of £1= E1.4 works out at £8,200. Although it is still a very good price, why the difference.
Sorry for all the questions, but I am quite interested in going there and want as much info as possible.

Was recently at a FlyBe/FTE seminar at Glasgow Uni regarding their MAPS scheme and FTE said they were stopping modular indefinately as they were too busy with integrated. I think they have a new integrated course starting virtually every month now whereas previously there were a few months in the year where no course was starting thus further down the line they had free time for modular students.
However as I said this has been stopped indefinately. Unlike other schoools you could not choose when you wanted to start say your CPL/IR etc. There were certain fixed dates for the modules as they were fitted round the slack time between integrated course.

Will be ready to do ME/IR in mid July and am seriously considering Aeordynamics Malaga. Is this advisable at this time of the year? Wil it be too hot for the flying side of things?

Doing ME/IR conversion at Aerofan, so far, every OK.
Good organization, good school complex, nice C310, good condition and nice to fly, and excellent weather.
Keep you informed guys, but looking very good so far!

Flight training Europe may be finishing up doing modular courses which would be a good thing. They are very good for integrated but really have no interest in the modular route. They do however have no problem taking your money.
Any other school in spain would be a better choice , i believe Aerofan is very good

I am starting out in Spain th. 28th of may at Aerofan. They seem very professional compared to other schools in Spain... I have alle 55h+ IR (A) and need 11h ME to get my IR(A) ME, MEP(land). But I am a curious about changing from PA44 to their Cessna 310..? How demanding is the skilltest in spain/Aerofan? Would it be possible for me to complete 11h + skill test within 1 week at aerofan or how long time should I calculate wiht?
Thanks for a very good dialog guys...

Spain - Aerofan training
Aerofan students,
Please keep up the news on your current training at Aerofan - and other Spanish schools. I - and it seems others - are looking at Aerofan after good feedback. You are lucky to be doing the I/R training on a C310. That C310 and the Piper Aztec are suppose to be the best I/R training a/c.
If the feed back continues to be good - I will be in Spain for training. A great country, very civilised place to live and train

Once you pass the IR do you send off to Gatwick or the Spanish equivalent to have it put on your licence?ie will it look any different on your licence coming from Spain?

you send it off to Gatwick and no, there is no indication that your IR was done in Spain, although saying that, it shouldnt make ay difference as the standard here in spain is just as good as the UK.

A word of advice to all of you tyros, make ABSOLUTELY sure that what you pay for is what you will end up receiving. FTE are extremely honest and open as are BM Aviation and Fly in Spain. But..... and its a big but..... there are several english speaking spanish companies around who only want your dinero. It gets to be even more fun when you fly for a spanish company. All in english of course.....

Aerofan are excellent. Have done some renewals there and could not reccomend them enough. Dont even think about Jerez if they are still doing modular. They simply are not interested but will have no problems about taking your money .I think full time is the only way with this crowd
