Be Cool

I fully agree with you some body have money to get expensive training but is not a fact that peaople is good or not anybody is individual and abability also, pilot have different training record in different place, some school can be good for someone and not for someone else, when i read all post because i am in the bizness for 10 years now and expect to finish my training this years and know many fto but never try to speak bad on any flight school and sometime i have reason to do,but i has always obtain my licence. i decide to respond some pilot just new in the bizness and speaking bad sometime. Just a first remarks everypost spoke about SCHOOL INSTRUCTORS OR WHENEVER YOU WANT, BUT NOBODY talk about IT'S PERFORMANCE, are you sufficient current to get the training in time expected on what the flifgt school say, that can be frustrainting sometimes.Believe me a CFI is not a magician he only try to get you tool to be good but never does the jobs for you.The morality is before send an accusation on types of FTO types of student obtain or not he's licence pass rate etc.......... BE SHURE YOU ARE CURRENT ABOUT YOURSELF AVIATION ABABILITY.I am so surprised here even most of my fellow friends have HUMAN PERFORMANCE certificate,be carrefull that types of spirit can put you down inside a cockpit. But of course i comply with some student where some fto is joke that can be hapen but read all post with caution, because it is hard to find out honest people in aviation and i know what i am talking, if i would with my experience i can complain regarding several fto, and if did that in any case i will try to influence someone in any sens he is not an good aviation spirit BUT EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT AND I ACCEPT. BE CARREFULL ABOUT YOUR SELF THAT MY ADVICE. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE

I did my MEIR with Aerodynamics back in April/May 2007, so my experiences may not be the most upto date. Some of the criticisms levelled at AM has some truth to it, I found myself spending alot of time studying IR books and using RANT to back up the lessons. The level of English spoken by the instructors varies massively. During my time I flew 3 different twins due to maintenance problems, and the instructors flying the twins were overworked.

However, with a bit of extra work by the student you can gain a very proficient level of IR skills with AM. The sim is great. The administration is sound, and very refreshingly they stuck to the quoted price. During the down time for maintenance of the twins they gave me free sim time for practice. And when their twin was down for heavy maintenance they at least bothered to hire another aircraft, probably at a loss to them, to keep students flying. Again very rare in a FTO. I was also surprised how many students attended the same time I did who had left a particular US JAR FTO as they were sick of their treatment there.

Within weeks of finishing the MCC I was lucky to have my first interview as a 250 hour guy for a jet job, and had no problem passing the sim check which was on the 737-200 and now fly the Avro RJ.

I'd recommend the school from my experiences, but just be prepared to put extra work in yourself, an IR from Spain is very much a case of you get out what you put in.

Any current feedback from Malaga?

I went Aerodynamics last year to do my ME/IR. It's not perfect, but if you are willing to put in the extra effort yourself, you'll be just fine. The instruction varies dramatically. I had both the best and worst instruction that I received during my entire CPL/IR training at Aerodynamics. One instructor used to go to sleep during sorties! Another however was a total pro and I was lucky enough to have him for the majority of my training. You get as much as you put in down there.

It served me well. I got my first job flying turboprops in the UK last year. I got made redundant in June this year, but I've just been hired on to the A320 with a carrier in Southern Europe. My scan and instrument flying in general didn't suffer one bit for going to Malaga. That being said, I put a lot of extra work in after the instructors had gone home.

I'm not sure if it's the same Aerodynamics I visited. My experience was pretty good overall, and nothing like the horrific stories I hear on here. Troll tales perhaps?

I passed my MEIR first time a couple of weeks ago at aerodynamics, The price was exactly what was quoted, no hidden extra, plus it included my test fee. I was quoted 5 weeks and 11889 euros, and apart from taking four days longer they kept everything they promised. I found the instructors to be pleasant and helpful and the level of instruction was good. Just make sure you read up on your theory before you go!

I wrote a day by day diary of the MEIR at Malaga if anyone is interested in reading it the link is here meir

Im thinking of doing my FAA-JAA ME IR conversion with this school.
I ve talked with 6 people who did their training recently and they were quite satisfied.
According to them, school has been operating under a more professional manner and major improvement as far as the instructing/flying quality has been achieved within the last few months.
Any further feedback would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I have recently finished my ir conversion course at Aerodynamics. I had also heard and read things about the school before so when I went on vacation close to Malaga I passed by to take a look. My impression was good so I decided to do the course there. I had not used a simulator before so that was a new experience. My course was short (only 10 hours in the sim, 5 hours on the beechcraft duchess) so I had to study quite a lot in my spear time, but isn't that why we do the course???

I think it was a nice to fly in Spain, and at least based on my experience I recommend the school.
