Any EPTSpain Flight School for PPL(A) Reviews/Experiences?
Hi All,
Looking at doing my PPL(A) in Spain over a 4-5 week period. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with FlyEPTSpain? https://www.flyeptspain.com/
I've searched online and in these forums but concerningly have found hardly any reference to them apart from 2 very basic Google Reviews.
I am aware of Jerez https://www.fly-in-spain.de/ but some recent reviews read pretty poorly.

Hi, I did my PPL recently at fly Ept spain. I can say that not only the price was good but also the teaching was great. I've also never felt that they wanted to sell me more hours than I needed, they always tried to keep me at the lowest hours possible. I can really recommend them also because mallorca is a really nice place for flying

if you guys are from London, how come you want to do the PPL in Spain? hour buildling may be cheaper in EASA states but you need to add in flight tickets to the departure country, accomodation, living expenses and obviously working it around your job, unless you're commencing full-time flight training? even then there's pros and cons.

Id imagine you can just take annual leave for about 4-5 weeks, and get your PPL.

andre999 did you have any luck finding a school to complete your PPL(A) in 4/5 weeks?
I’m looking at going a similar route. Completing my ground school/theory exams before taking 4/5 weeks off work to do the flying.
I also looked at EPTSpain but the lack of reviews/social media presence concerns me, especially when having to pay a large lump sum up front (they also oddly have an identical logo to a different flight school in America flyeft).
Would love to be proven wrong on them as they offer a generous price.
If anyone else has flight school recommendations offering a condensed 4/5 week PPL that would be great! Open to anywhere in Europe/America.

How did you find out about a large payment sum up front? Did you contact them or?

Can anyone who has done a EASA PPL at FLYEPT justify their experience? I can see that they offer a low hour PPL course for £6k roughly which is very cheap! I have seen photos online and visited website but needed more reviews if anyone has done any training there. Thanks

No idea who this person is but I'm the head of training at FlyEPT. We are registered with Aesa as a DTO (E-DTO-088), have an office at the airport, and are operating flights almost every day at Son Bonet. Happy for anyone to contact me via PM or through the website.

I flew with FLY EPT... As real as it gets!
I've just been in touch again with them for 20 hours and they offered it to me for 120 Euro per hour including fuel which I find to be great value. Will be going there in July so will report back...

Guys.. FlyEPT IS very legit.
I don’t know why anyone would try to discredit the school especially when they have not been personally scammed.
It’s a TOTALLY REAL flight school here in Palma de Mallorca and even a really good one actually with competitive prices. Whoever manages their website might have some weird data registered on whois but it doesn’t mean the school is a scam guys…
I have myself flown recently on their Tecnam and can assure anyone reading this that Fly EPT is very real. It was a very nice experience and Ian the head of training is a super nice guy.
Just reach out yourself and you’ll see!
