anyone been to Nat flight centre, dublin?
 

Thinking about doing my PPL in the National Flight Centre, Weston, Dublin during the summer. If anyone has any opinions on what the place, aircraft, training etc is like I would love to hear about it. Cheers

I live not too far from the airfield and I can tell you that it is a good school. Be very careful however to check thaat it is FULLY JAR approved and not just nationally approved by the IAA (Irish Aviation Authority). I investigatied it recently for the fATPL course and found out that it is NOT an FTO and therfore although it has a CPL/IR +fATPL course, it is not valid in other JAA states! Look on the Irish Aviation Authority website for more info.

Hope this helps,

I am surprised at your reply! I was involved in the JAA Approval procedure for national Flight Centre Two years ago. To my knowledge Kieran was approved by the IAA to conduct JAA training. Unless there was a major problem, this is the case.
To you guys thinking of using NFC, "have a good one"

hey dihedral,

Seems they do, check out their website www.nfc.ie they
have displayed on it that they are Ireland's First JAA Approved FTO. I took a drive over to it a couple of weeks back its fairly impressive looking setup

Trust the IAA Website??
 

But according to the IAA website, there are no approved aeroplane FTOs in Ireland!

Could it be that the IAA is a little slow?

Yep tis that there a little slow in updating their site, called IAA, NFC are certified to train for the CPL
