duping in manila schools
 

capt arnel miguel of aeroflite aviation, with base at subik. I have personally been duped by him. & also hundreds of other indian students of their money. I dont know whether he has changed the name of the school or disappeared now.if you do not agree to what they say they will stop your flying & you will be sitting in your apartment .And you will be depressed in a foreign country ultimately you will end up agreeing to whatever he says.

ummm... has anyone reported this incident to any government office? :)

This thread will go looong way. Considering aviation industry in the Philippines is never near in the triumph of development. If only CAAP will do there job by the book and flight schools start to care about their students (Yeah! I know it's like wishing man can live in the sun..lol) :ok:
well, legal_consultant I think you should narrow down your scope of research because you'll have a hard time collating all your data considering there will be a handful problems.
here's one reason why I'm not taking my flying lessons here in PI is thelack (before anyone reacts) of good functioning aircraft where I'm not afraid to fly for mechanical/instrument failure in mid-air.

That won't help honestly. := It will just be added up in the towering files of reported incidents in CAAP. The reorganization of ATO is much worse than I expected. :ugh:

airfoil: i just want to know if there are indeed cases reported to any government agency such as the CAAP so I will get any statistical data and also, more information regarding some problems w/ aviation schools the reason being that people here have not yet given me any elaborate information on how the flying schools are being handled.

narrowing my scope: how flying schools are being handled by its administrators, admissions office, etc. particularly focusing on fraudulent acts being done.

FLying School
 

Flying School never bothered abt their students in phil.

They are the acting agent b/w CAAP(ato) and the students, legally or illegally
and the best part is your instructors are least bothered too. those guys just wanna get 1500 hrs.... that all they care about.....


to legal consultant: if u wanna contact respective student who was cheated in manila.... arnd 12 ppl wer promised type rating after their cpl got cheated... now this guys lost arnd 20K-30K USD n homeless....

planning to go to phip
 

hi
i am planning to go back to phip to finish my ir,multi engine rating,cpl renewal and i was told about a school in iloilo by name vsyas flying school so any body any bad experience please let me know...

do not go to that scul buddy...no a/c no instructors..nothing.....

Flight schools in filipines are not safe. I know a guy named ashwan nair who was cheated around 12 lacs and returned to the country with only a PPL.

if you want to train pls go to USA its safe, cheap and good quality. I did mine in the states for around 22 lacs including accommodation for around 9 months. I will highly recommend schools in Florida. But at the same time this is not a good time to get your pilot license unless you have a lot of money cause airlines now asking money for ratings and etc.....it seems only the rich will make it into the cockpit

Never mind the flight schools. After cheating death in your training and you try to convert your hard-earned cash-driven licence overseas, you find the local authorities do nothing to expedite the process ... :ugh:

Out of Topic Reply here:
