Hi!
I'm studying at Aeromadrid and I have not paid any VAT for the Integrated ATPL course.
And I have some brochures at home of another FTO ,American Flyers Spain, which clarifies that VAT doesn't apply for pilot studies in Spain.

ok, thanks. I thought I would ask as it outlines VAT on some of the prices on the Aerodynamics page at 16%. I own a company in Spain in the " training industry " and what you tell me is rare ( and for me unfortunate )
Enjoy your flying..

For the Multi Rating + Multi IR Rating I believe they charge Euro 10950 for 21 hours multi time + 35 hours FNPT2 time.
Having looked at the threads regarding Aerodynamics Malaga + Aerofan most of the comments seem to be positive. This appears too good to be true almost; schools with a good reputation, nice locations, good weather leading to quick courses at a greatly reduced price compared to UK based training. I had hoped to complete my multi + IR training in the UK but with potential savings of around £5000 I am starting to consider other options.
Apart from how employers view foreign trained pilots, my biggest hangs ups regarding these schools are the experience and quality of instructors they have and the amount of dead time in the aircraft (ie Holding/Taxying times + positioning of the aircraft for IR training). Are all the UK learning objectives covered in the Spanish IR course? It all helps to see if you are comparing like with like.
Would be good to hear any experience/views people have on these issues with these schools.
Cheers.

I can't figure out what does FNPT II mean?
And I want to get this straight... I have a PPL, if I obtain an ME/IR, does it mean that I am automatically qualified for an SE/IR also? And what about CPL? How does it go about ME and SE?

accomodation
Anyone been to Aerodynamics-Malaga? What accomodation did you use and I bet it could be expensive in that part of Spain mid-summer. Anyone planning me/ir end aug/sept time, could maybe rent an appartment there and share costs.
I am heading out there this week to have a look, any questions you'd lie to know answers for, get in touch.

Thanks Clay
Had a cheap flight lined up to go visit them tomorrow, just phoned them and got a message saying they were closed all week on holiday, guess it must be too warm for them. Do they close for siesta during the afternoon and does the sim training go on in the evening also?
Have you got your CPL now? Where did you do it?
I managed to find a flat in torremolinos via a room sharing website for E200 a month so quite pleased with that.

Level of education at Aerofan?
What is the level of education at Aerofan? I've read from a finnish board (www.fsnordic.net) that they have offered someone to just read a couple of books and this would cover the theory training requirements for FI rating. Does this reflect their overall quality or have things changed?
