Hi there.

Has anybody on the list done a TR course in Orlando USA at Bond Aviation Services? I´ve received a TR course quote for an A320 starting at 15K u$s. Nice price, right?

Thanks,

Danigo,

How much did the A320 type rating cost you in the end?

Do most people complete the course in the amount of hours set out in the quote?

Or do most people require extra sim time, which is very expensive.

Thanks.

last october it was 12500 usd i did it with no extra charge we were 5 and all did it in the time given
otherwise i think one hour will be aroud 500 usd but i think you can do it in the time beiing
cheers

Hi,

They also have a 300 hours program at an Indian airline, don´t know wich one. I´m thinking to invest on the program next year as soon as I finish my 601 XL.

Thanks to all of you,

Iberplanes.

i received my TR on A320 from bond this April. i was sucessful in the TR but the training material was below average. it cost me $13K. helpful & patience intstuctors, excellent JetBlue sims. do research before you go the place was a little un organized.

Bond experience

plus

1. Nice location (orlando, can combine study with leave after the course)
2. Good Instructors (the instructors do their 100%)
3. The best of all is the Jetblue A320 Level D Sims.
4. Jet blue sims about 10 minutes drive from the school.

Minus

1. Very disorganized administration part.
2. Not able to do much than collect money, have the instructors in the class and offer just the hours. Dont expect any additional guidance (even though the guidance dont cost a penny)
3. No such thing exists as going extra mile and try to attract more students through better service.
4. I am still waiting (6 months already) for them to pay me back my 1000 dollars which I had over paid.

I would suggest a complete research on the same course provided by other schools before deciding on this one.

Crooks

These guys owe me $11,000. Repeated unreturned emails and no-one answering the phone or telling me that the people I need to talk to just stepped out. I am going to try and get my money back through a lawyer. Extremely unprofessional!!!!! I should have never given them money up front.

Robopilot I hate to be the barer of bad news, but I was tlking to one of their competitors last week and they informed me that Bond has had their Licence as a TRTO withdrawn.

I cannot confirm this but perhaps a call to the FAA might straighten it out.
