Any EPTSpain Flight School for PPL(A) Reviews/Experiences?

[andre1990]

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.

PPL(A) over a 4-5 week period!? Even a 4-5 month period would be considered extremely fast.

Am I missing something?

Hi have you heard any further info about these two? I am also interested if these are too good to be true

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.

All in all still works out cheaper than doing a PPL here in the UK. As that would set you back at least £10k.

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

yeah i guess if you can take that much annual leave consecutively. still, a PPL in 4-5 weeks seems risky if there are weather delays or issues at the school. this looks like a realistic training plan for UK students on a low-budget modular path in case anyone wants ideas

here is a school at Redhill Airfield if you happen to be based south of the river. they apparently provide EASA licenses. perhaps worth a look for the londoners here.

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.

Yeah, I'm planning to do the exact same as you!

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