Atlantic Flight Training

[Megaton]

Did my ME/IR there a couple of years ago (before twinstar arrived). I thought the setup was good with a fair system of charging. Also, Coventry was a good central location for trg with decent facilities. Did me no harm - now flying A320 for BA.

Thanks for the info
It must by my poor searching skills, since I canīt find anything about AFT

[BlueRobin]

Search won't work if the search term has too few characters, e.g. "AFT" will return nothing. In which case, stick into google AFT site: pprune.org

My circumstances have changed this week so I may be doing a full-time ATPL ground course there.

Highly recommend them

Atlantic Flight Training GS

Anyone know what Atlantic Flight Training are like for their Full Time Ground School? I'm thinking of them as an option and I know people in the area I could stay with.

[SU27]

Did my distance learning with them. Excellent tutors. I would recommend them.

[BlueRobin]

They're okay and get above average pass rates. Am currenlt yposting from an AFT classroom. The school has a house that can offer accommodationhowever Coventry and surrounding area has a good supply of housing. gumtree.com lists a lot of house shares/rentals.

Hello all

I need advice from anyone who know AFT.

I am a PPL holder with 180 hours and looking to continue all the way to fATPL.

Atlantic seems a good place to go for me (according to previous reviews and website)
Although an ex student told me recently they were overcrowded when he went there which was before they had the twinstar.

Anyone can update this information, I think the school is good, but is it too popular

There won't be too many people on these forums, although do a search anyway, you might find a thread. Have a look at www.flyinginireland.com/forum I have heard of a few people training there and they are all very happy. The instructors are meant to be great guys. They are probably very busy because they train PPLs aswell but I don't think you would have any problems with a/c availability for Multi/IR. Have a look on the flying in ireland forums.

[Irish83]

i dont mean atlantic flight centre in ireland, I'm asking about coventry

[Kanu]

I went to AFT, haven't got a bad word to say about them really. Took me just over 13 months from PPL to cpl/ir and the instruction couldn't have been better.

[MediQ]

Haha, my mistake!

[BlueRobin]

There's a guy here at the moment from Cork doing the theory. Thoroughly nice bunch of chaps and esses, theory is done informal (no uniforms) and friendly (good banter). If you do the full-time theory first at AFT, you can then whilst you are there suss out if the flying side is any good. They are about to hire more instructors so hopefully demand can be met.

AFT

Does anybody have any info or completed trg at AFT. Im thinking of moving my integrated trg course to them due to being un happy with my current FTO. Cheers.

[BlueRobin]

By AFT, which organisation do you mean? There are at least two in England and another I can recall in Eire.

[wiseman942]

its atlantic flight trg in coventry

[TheOne83]

allright, but witch part is the one that makes you unhappy?? Theory teaching or flying instruction, lack of flying?? If flying is the reason you could consider many other schools too, depending in how far you would like to be from home.

Cheers

AFT are modular only. Not sure how that affects your progession from an integrated stream.

ATPL theory side is good.
Good availability on the Diamonds, less so presently the AVGAS stuff due to Fugly cadet demand aiui.
Diamond FNPT2 sim also rather good.
