GAir Heard some bad stuff but....?
 

I have looked into schools in Portugal as I live there now and see that GAir have a facility. When I made some local enquiries people warned me that all was not well with them and that training is badly managed. Does anyone know anything about them?

I don't know so much about GAir's Portugal base, but I read in some Spanish forums that the Spanish Gair, now called European Flyers and located in Madrid, was very bad. Moreover, I contacted with a student and he told me that in the IFR endorsement the instructor has difficulties to manage an instrumental arrival...

When a I was searching a flight school I saw the GAir facilities in Madrid (surely the best there), with a A320 full motion sim etc... but the C172's analogic fleet seems old.

Anyway, if you are able to understand Spanish I hardly recommended you to enter to forums like foroaviones or extracrew and you can get a lot of info.

Good luck!
