50k is not a low salary even in London. My sister is earning about 19K in advertising and the most she could ever earn is about 30K. She also puts in very long hours working every day of the week.

I would suggest if you want to get more for your money in terms of property move up to Shropshire where 50K would be deemed as been pretty well off.

Time Gentlemen Please

Folks,

Let please remember why I started this thread up, its not a 'have a go if you think you are hard enough' sort of an affair.

If someone posts something that you feel outrageous or plainly wrong, post a mail back pointing that out and leave things there, lets rise about petty one-upmanship and keep everything else like personal remarks and stuff to Private Messages please.

Lets get this thread back on topic which is JAA compliant flight schools and their merits, faults and pitfalls.

Right, rant over, anyone selling a full set of Oxford CD's

If I can drag you back to the original thread, what you might consider is that inside the industry we know the good schools and we know the wrong 'uns. Mostly we get on, but some schools don't get on with anyone. We won't say it clear, we can't, but there are certain schools that are never recommended by other FTOs, ever. What is not said is often much more significant than what is said. You would do yourself a favour if you were to start reading between the lines.

I think the Flyer Show is is happening some time this year. I went to the 2004 one down in Heathrow and can highly recommend it. All the big names, and some less- well-known ones are there as well as a number of presenations and Q+A sessions.

Nice day out.

See www.flyer.co.uk

If you specify the licence type (JAA/FAA/various ICAO/CAA types) and where you intend operating it may narrow the field down a bit...

MC,

This subject has been done to death on PPRUNE mate, therefore it may be worth doing a search. You will find lots of comments about all the different schools.

If you are planning on doing a integrated course then:

1) Jerez (former bae systems)
2) Oxford
3) Cab-Air

Modular mmm have heard good things about BGS for ground school and eft for flight training!

I persoanally went the integrated route at Jerez a long time ago.

After much research, I have decided to do my PPL + Night Rating at EFT, Florida.

They seem to have about 98% positive feedback.

Check them out!

American Schools

Just been to OFT in Orlando hour building and just wanted to say how impressed I was. They are run by Cabair and I was impressed enough to think about doing my JAA CPL there.

Training in Spain

After reading the Aerofan topic, I thought it might be helpful, if we gathered up a link collection of flight schools in Spain. I'm looking forward to possible flight instructor training in spain. It would be a big time saver, if everyone that knew a FTO, posted a link in this thread.

Cheers,
FA

second that

These guys were excellent perfect english and friendly instructors made it a pleasure. Don't quote me on this but I think the pass rate is in the 80%-90% due to all the training being done in the aircraft 65hrs of it. I'm currently at BCT finishing the CPL on the combined course.
