hey, I dont think there are many who have on here. I asked a similar question, and I dont think anyone had personally trained with them, Which is a shame, They are very cheap, and some feedback would be great!

I haven't got any experience with them, actually looking for a CPL myself.
I have noticed their price of around €47000 is significantly lower than what's quoted elsewhere. Even taking into account living expenses (estimated at €600/mo accom + €750/mo food in or near Madrid), it still works out some €20K cheaper than their competitor at Jerez.
I'm after a CPL but not interested on airline transport, so no ATPL. I am tempted to call them and inquire. Has anyone actually seen them / talked with them yet?

ir at aerofan
Yeah I could do with some information on aerofan. Seem to cheap, though. I had some experiances in the usa with cheap places .... dicing with death.
Aerodynamics seem a bit expensive for what they offer. You can get a similar price IR in the UK. surely?
I phoned Aerofan ( uk rep in spain) , he seemed very harreessed and busy and told me to look at the internet site....

I have been trying to e-mail them now for the last 2-3 days asking for general information on CPL, multi, IR etc, and as of yet no reply????
I do need to call them, but I like to know some of the facts and figures before I speak to a flight school - I get a feeling that one or two out there can be like buying a second hand car of Arthur Daley!
Anybody spoken to them, or got any information sent from them??
Regards
Richard

Hi there,
I e-mailed them last week ([email protected]) to get some info on CPL and IR training and got a reply back within a couple of days.
Don't have any first hand experience of the school but a friend completed his ICAO IR conversion with them and spoke fairly highly of them

AEROFAN
I've noticed they have a different contact number on the Spanish version of their website (a fixed line number in Madrid, as opposed to a mobile on their English page). They also have a good deal more info in their Spanish page, with pricing details for individual courses, etc. Seems their ATPL does not include MCC unless you want it and pay some €5500 or so extra for it (makes sense I suppose).
Anyway, if anyone has any specific queries, I can get a Spanish friend to give them a call on their Spanish number and ask whichever questions come through your collective mind and report back.

AEROFAN Flight Training (merged)
I am looking for anybody that has recently trained with Aerofan. What i am interested to know is what the accomodation is like around the school and how much it cost to live out there. I have used the search and found nothing on actual living costs so any feedback would be very welcome.
Thanks

hello, in reply to you both, i am going out to AEROFAN in october. i have researced accomadation for months in Madrid, and one thing that i have found is that it is dmm expensive to rent. Aerofan will put you in a house share with a few other guys if req. i am going over with my partner so need to find a place of my own. there are a few agencys in spain which you can pay ariund 200 eur and they will hook you up with a place. The feedback i have got is that there are 5 time more people looking for rentals than there are propertys to rent!. drop me a mail and let me know when you are thinking of going. i am thinking of doing a recce in the next few weeks, and if i find anything out, i will let you know.

I wanted to go as soon as possible but accommodation is holding me back at the moment and if it is too expensive i may not end up going for another 6 months. If when you go you could let me know how much its going to cost me for both shared and rented accommodation it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

give James Ward a call at Aerofan. he said he could help me out with accomadation, the house share i think worked out at around 400- 450 eur a month, not to bad considering. There is a good metro system in Madrid for getting around, running straight into cuatro vientos.
If i get any more info i will let you know. Out of interest, what training r u going out there for??. i am hopefully enroling on the first officer jet course. im heading out to Ormand Beach in three weeks for my PPL and 50 hrs hour building, and then out to AEROFAN.
