Stapleford Flight Centre - ab Initio

[john.o.pilot]

i heard good things about this school. Few guys from my ATPL theory were very satisfied. Also heard Cabair (integrated was good, i.e. not one at bournemouth) and OAT. I didn't do training there but if was starting again my first choice would be Cabair or OAT if I had money, alternatively SFC. I did my training with instructors who were time builders and it was VERY messy experience. Won't mention school as this thread is about SFC courses. As i said, didnt train there but heard all good.

Flying with different instructors is useful as you get more experience. I had two instructors on my course, one sim and another for aircraft. Failed ir exam big time. Examiner blamed it on instructors and they blamed it on the examiner. My £15k was long gone by this point.

I Did all my training there and was mostly with the same instructor all the way from ppl to CPL and then a different instructor for ME/IR, I did the entrance exam at cranfield (cabair) and was told to stop wasting my time.

I did my ATPL ground exams at London Met and met a guy who did his flying training at cab air and then went back to them to do his IR, i know work for an Ailine in Europe in the right seat where as the guy from cabair is still looking for a job.

So i guess it doesnt matter where you learn long as you are commited to the training.

I think Stapleford was and still is a good scholl and a lot cheaper then the rest for giving you the same licence at the end of the day.
