Like I say, twice (and probably the only two times I came into contact with E-R aircraft), they put me in a very dangerous position. So yeah, my view of the school is that its the pits.

If that happens again I would advise checking that you have the correct frequency tuned in!

Anyone know anything about training there...?? They sure do have a fair deal of aviation/aerospace if not the best in the world..

You seem to have forgotten the very best:
NORWEGIAN AVIATION COLLEGE
It clearly says so on "our" site too (see top part):
http://www.pilotutdanning.no/
Check out the gallery and you'll see why. Did I mention we have mountains?

training or aftercare?
Wait!!!......a few of the best:
Flight Safety Academy
Oxford
CTC
Flight Training Europe
NLS (part of CAE)
KLM Flight Academy
Lufthansa Flight School
Flight Training Adelaide
I am talking about the education, not the aftercare (which is very important!).
For aftercare I am not sure, but I think Oxford is the best.
Worst?....many more to come.....

Best flight school in the world
Simple is the best!Airways Flight Training, Exeter, UK.
In my mind, probably one of the best and most highly respected flight schools within the business. After all, some of the finest RAF, Fleet Air Arm and AAC pilots choose AFT after recommendations from colleagues.
I've also heard that examiners enjoy going there too!!

Top tips
1) Don't ASS-ume you know what the poster is talking about when you obviously don't (I know what you think E-R stands for in this case - but it doesn't)
2) Read the entire thread before making such assumptions

Scary Monster!!
Chill - Monster!
Fair cop my furry friend.
I send my humble apologies to philltowns, and I've remove the flawed post from the forum. However, the first use of the abbreviation E-R should have been followed with (Embry-Riddle in the USA) to stop any possible ASS-uming!

I believe ER are certainly not the best. Maybe because of their reputation, they think they are the best and thus end up compromising safety in the air. I know of at least 10 incidents of stupidity on there part and of 2 mid air collisions.
This obviously does not mean the whole school is crap, just a percentage of it, like any other school, only a higher percentage.

definitely, FTE in Jerez.
They provide everything necessary for their trainees and sunny weather makes people even happier to be away from home :-).
A part of this, instructors and all the staff are very professional and they really want take the best out of you.
I hope to be there by the end of march!!

well,
I've been in contact with them since last year and I've met people from the staff during one of FTE seminars, I really had great impressions!
the other factors that make me say such things come from other people's impressions which have always been along with what I've said.
Anyway, this is my own point of view (like all the others in this thread).

Hi Alberto
Like I said, I wasn't disagreeing-just wondering how you managed to arrive at that conclusion. I attended one of their seminars here in the UK last month and they did present themselves very well. Maybe see you there later in the year?!

JustAnotherVictim,
I'm hopefully attending the assessment day within 3 weeks, and if I'll pass all the tests I'm willing to start on March 27th, otherwise it will be the end of April!
when do you think you're going? What are your plans?
See you there
