Hello to everybody,
does anybody know the American School of Aviation in Atwater, California (ASA)? They offer Training Courses for very competitive prices. Are there any hidden costs, which are not obvious? I would be interested if anybody had experience. Thanks! KLX |
I'm an American and have never heard of them. Try ATPS http://www.a commercial site
|
Well, I'm not American and I have heard of them. They have been mentioned here before, but not too much information has been forthcoming. They have a very flashy website.

that's cool dude, I just copy and pasted the URL from the browser, but I totally understand :D

ASA is FAA CPL factory ripping off Indian students; there are plenty of such "schools" targeting the huge Indian aviation boom and hawking their services to Indians at very "low" cost to them.
Offering a FAA CPL in 4-5 mths :ugh: := :eek: |
First of all (I feel These things must be said). No school of no body really teaches you aviation. forget that nonsense find a good CFI who you trust and go through the ratings
last time I heard the FAA doen't require a degree OR Ground school. in aviation pick up lots of books learn to use an E-6B, a plotter, to read the sectional and Jeps,metars, checklists, AFM learn how to do a variety of perf calculations, read read read so much excellent material is out there, who is stopping you??? YOU CAN NOT WAIT UNIL SOMEONE TEACHES YOU ANYTHING... . YOU TEACH YOURSELF 'GROUND SCHOOL' and how to FLY (under guidance of course;) ) Don't let inexperience foster excuses for incompetence. do everything the 'hard way until you are so good (i.e W@B on your cherokee with 1/2 fuel and one pax) that it is a habit even if you have GS it is wholly insuficient for the actual task at hand for all practical purposes get a regular college degree. Aviation don't love you nor your school. stay alive with self aquired knowledge save money if possible and don't get drawn into hype and most importantly learn from the Ineveitable mistakes you will make AND KEEP LEARNING FOREVER!!! TO HELL WITH FANCY CORRUPT SCHOOLS :) rhovsquared |

Dont ever think of that
Hi,
I got a personal e-mail froma a guy who is doing it there. He said to me to drop the idea of going therecoz they have got a lot of extra costs and also what they promise are not being delivered to the students. i heard kingfisher is training there.. Hope this helped.. regards maverick:ok: |
ASA
I would steer clear of this school. :=
They are cheaper than other schools in the bay area but not well organised. Previously, i had been given the run around by their admin dept for mths before i just gave up and concluded that they were doing fine and obviously didn't care about my business. |
