Diamandstar DA-42 FTO's aabroad with them

Just about to start my IR, not decided where yet, but plan to do it in a twin, I always fancied the DA-42, so thought I would do it in that.

The question is what schools use them. I am after the cheaper,ie Spain, Greece, South Africa, USA.

I would ideally like to go to a JAR approved FTO.

I know of egnatia, and always planned to go there, but after my recent findings on here, I'm a bit hesitant

There may be, but not where it is cost-effective to do so.

Dead set against the UK then? Have you considered British DA42 operators such as Stapleford, AFT and The Flight Centre Halfpenny Green. Notice I've omitted Cabair

There's also a thought that you shouldn't choose by aircraft type. As a DA42 CPL/IR student myself, I sometimes wish for a nice stable Piper that's easy to trim.

Warning re: Egnatia

Stay well clear of Egnatia if you are after quality training. Only have 1 instructor and he doesnt give a ****. No briefings, aircraft mostly in maintainence, managers lie about everything and obviously care nothing about the students welfare.
