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?

is it my imagination or is it everytime anyone asks about Aerofan, a wee plug for BCT/Aerodynamics seems to creep in?

Question 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 agree pipergirl this forum seems to be full of the same advertising plugs over and over saying the same thing. I guess they cannot afford the banners.

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.

I heard that the Spanish CAA has done an audit at AeroFan. Sorry that I don't have more details of it. Somebody should ask the school directly about it...

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.

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.
