Sigmar - Jet Pilot Programme
Just been to the flyer show this weekend, with a list full of questions for everyone. Come back with a lot of answers, a clearer idea of what is going on and the start of my plan of action. However spent some time chatting to the guy at Sigmar aviation about their new Jet Pilot Programme and must admit I am intrigued. It might just me the south african blood in my viens trying to convince me to choose this company (they do their flight training in SA)
My question is: any comments, opinions, rumours, people already on the course? Pretty much fishing for as much info as I can get at the moment. Searched for them on here and came up with very little.
My major reservation is that they only have 4 courses going at the moment and none of them have finished. I have been a guinea pig for my university course and am not keen to do it with an FTO.
Any comments ect. would be great
Cheers

I think there are one or two threads on this forum. Try searching for Sigmar or 43 Air School.
There's also a thread http://flyinginireland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1198 here.
The guys down in SA try to post regularly but are obviously very busy. I'm sure they'd be happy to answer your questions.
The 43 Air School has an excellent reputation I've heard. The only downside I can see is the price Sigmar are charging. If you did the same training but went through 43 directly you could save almost half the cost of Sigmars course. Of course you would then have to convert your licence in a JAA state and presumably do an MCC. I've heard Progress Flight Academy are also excellent (a lot of places in SA seem to have a very good rep).
Hope this helps!

I've just having a look at Sigmar's website for this Jet Pilot Programme, they have a few newsletters the studnets have made up and the piece on TV3 in Ireland. http://www.jetpp.com/sigmar/download.html Looks like they are having a ball. I emailed the [email protected] will be interesting to hear how they are all going and about job prospects too.
