Captain Relax....
I don't mean to be rude, but you have been discussing EFT and other flights schools for months and months at this stage.
The school is fine. The training is fine. The instructors are fine. The owners are fine. The planes are fine. The accommodation is fine. The food is fine. The airport is fine. The charges are fine. The weather is fine.
There is only so much that you can be told about a school before you have to choose one.
Just go and get your licence mate. Otherwise you will become the "Eternal Wannabee"
Good luck

Hello,
do someone know cheap accomodation close to the EFT Base? I think i will do my CPL there but $35 per night are a lot. If you compare to Ari Aviation they want about $500 a month.
Thank you

Hi,
Could any current/recent CPL students let me know how they found the instruction/training at EFT? Is the 3 weeks quoted reasonable? I would certainly be allowing for 4 weeks just in case. I am now in a postition of being able to afford to commence training and would appreciate the current feedback.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Heniriksch,
$550 a month are impossible. Now they've give me a very good price for accomodation with my family and shared car.
I decided now to do my IR and CPL with them in September and October. Is someone else there between this time?
Cheers

Same info do I have, too. In first it looks expensive, but if you look for the price of a rental car, then $35,- with shared car are fine.
So it is important to have a car, because the bus will run only every two hours

EFT
I have just finished phase 1 of the APP course with EFT. I found the school to be very professional and the level of instruction to be excellent. I completed all my licences - FAA/JAA PPL and night rating in a reasoanble time frame The timebuilding was another matter though, mainly due to the amount of bushfires burning in Florida during the month of May I did not build the time as quickly as I would have wanted.
I will try to talk about the points mentioned in previous posts:
School/Instruction
As I said above I had no problems with EFT. I just kept an eye on my account and everything was pretty striaght forward. No mystery fees. The instuctors are all excellent and go out of the way to help you if you have any questions or concerns.
Aircraft
Like any other school aircraft go down for maintainance and its just one of those things you just learn to live with. Fortunately I was never really affected by the a/c going down. I think i only lost about 4 to 5 slots in total to aircraft going down while I was at the school. So no complaints there.
CPL guys might have a differnet story since there is only one Arrow to cater for the CPL, but that did not afect me.
Accomodation.
The accom. used by the school is about 30mins from the school. The cost is
$35/per day and this includes all bills and a car - one car per apartment. There is a shuttle bus that runs to and from the school 6 days a week. The standard of apartments is ok but when I go back to EFT I will be sorting out my own living arrangements, mainly because there are a lot of apartments to rent in the area for a lot cheaper than $35 a day!
PM if you want any more detailed info

To the best of my ability yes.
In the process of buying an apartment so the funds I did have have dropped somewhat. But I'll be renting my place when I go to EFT and when I have finished my course (2 years) I'll come back to the UK with the relief that I am already on the property ladder.
I'll remorgauge my place so the payments are matched by the rent money - which should be one less thing to think about when I am studying/flying.
Not really that sure how much the course is going to set me back - that is why I PM'd you. I did have contact with EFT via e-mail about costs/earnings but nothing it all that clear and I want to make sure I don't run out of funds toward the end and can't complete an IR conversion etc.
But I think I'm halfway with raising funds and with a pay rise around the corner Jan/Feb 09 should be a good date to start the APP Multi
... By which time you might/should be an Instructor.

Thanks Cpt.
You have an e-mail from me.
I have looked at the prices but I am looking to break them down further.
I might buy some $'s when it looks like they might slump, No harm having $10k in my account for the ready.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I am new here and as much as I saw this forum is great so I was hoping you could help me to, I have a few questions.
I am in college doing an engineering course and it will take me a few more years to finish it. Waiting to finish my studies to start flying seems too long, I would be 25 then. I don`t think 25 is too old to start flying, but I am not sure if it would be easy to find a job with all those young people who start flying after high school.
So, I was thinking to start next summer, I will have 3 months off. I think it would be enough time to do my PPL, would it?I would do the rest next summer if it is possible to do the whole thing that way. I see many flight schools offer integrated courses, but could the training be split into 2 or 3 parts?
And does anybody know what kind of licences do you need to be able to fly an air-taxi (it would be a great business where I live)?
I am looking forward to any piece of information you can give me.
Ciao

Did davey147 get back to us on whether you could do all your FAA training at Ari Ben Aviator, (PPL, FI, CPL, MEIR) and convert the PPL, FI, CPL to JAR at EFT? Which he worked out to be $20k cheaper.
I am personally looking at this route, looking to start next year and would like the best bang for my buck.
