Orlando Flight training

Hey Guy,

Any thoughts or comments on the JAA ground school at OFT??
Thinking of doing it early 2010.

Kind regards

Scott

The program runs 6 months of studying and for what i have seen mostly everyone has good succes on the exams. You have to have a PPL to be able to attend the course.

Best of luck!

I ve just completed my atpls at OFT and everything went very well.
All you need to do is pay attention in class and try to get as much as u can and then go home hit the banks. Its a very demanding 6-month period since they have to cover so much information but its do-able if u put the effort!

Good luck!

I went to OFT a few months ago. The only thing i can say: PLEASE STAY AWAY!
The maintance is very bad, the people and the whole environment is everything besides nicely and friendly. The instructors they have a just there to make hours. Going to OFT is a worse decision!!!!

I completed my ATPLs at Orlando Flight Training and have no complaints whatsoever. The class sizes were good, the instructors were all very knowledgeable and experienced in the industry and the course cost was reasonable. Classes run from 8.30am to 5.00pm five days per week and there are regular class quizzes and fortnightly progress tests to complete before being allowed to sit the real exams. I understand that the next module (beginning 14th December) will run Monday to Saturday so that students can enjoy time off over the Christmas period.

I admit that for flight training, much better schools can be found elsewhere, for all sorts of reasons. Since this thread refers only to the ATPL, I'll save my thoughts for another time!

I did my ATPL ground school there in 2009. If I had to do it again I would go to the same place. The ground instructors are ok and always available to help you even outside the classroom.
However, I've heard some bad comments from colleagues doing the CPL there concerning A/C's and instructors availabality. Also maintenance could be better
