Is Philippines the best place for Professional Pilot Training?
 

Philippines is a good place to fly, however, if one is thinking to obtain career pilot training then he/she must consider a lot of things. Here's the lists:

1) Government Bureaucracy. If one can handle the hassle and inconvenience of the immigration department, civil aviation authorities, national telecommunication agencies, and others then you're cleared to go. Due to the slow processing of documents then one should understand that his / her training is impossible to be completed in just 6 mos. So, don't fooled by any advertisement.

2) Quality of training. High standards, cheap price, 6 months training, etc. are common advertisements to market students. However, one should be careful about these since most of it are not true.

Should you think Philippines is the right place for your pilot training needs then think twice and consider the above factors.

well every tom, dick and harry knows about these. no one is forcing anyone to fly in the Philippines.
your point being?

Since most of the students who don't have any aviation background are not aware of it then it's much better to put that on this thread. But there are few schools that are good, however, the government issues still the number 1 factor affecting the training programs.

BS Baffles Brains. Take time and dont believe everything your told by FTO'S.

I WAS OFFERED RS 2.5 LACKS, I.E. approx 5000$\CPL student for sending students to phillipines.

I think that gives u an idea :P.


Waise for those who wanna build theri hours, its not a bad option u know.

The going rate is about 1500 rs.\hr, i.e. 30$\hour(wey lease).

For 30$, u can build a lot of hours and try to get a job :P

RRR
 

Hi Bro I got my cpl from Philippines.
as my experience and some other fellow pilot whom i met there.
Philippines is the fraud no.1 in aviation.
they will take full money and not give flying and even CAAP(aviation authority)
knows everything and will not take action.
If we give complaint also ultimately we will end up loosing licence.
SO be aware of flying in philippines.

Pls advice
 

I am going to start my CPL in philippines coming April 2010. Pls give me advice from your experiense.You have any idia about the CPL in Ukrain.I got 2 option from the Agency in Banglore. They give Ukrine for 15Lakh Rs with food an accomadation.

I suggest that you go to Embrry Riddle, Flight Safety Academy, or Oxford Aviation should you need professional pilot training. These schools provide a straight forward costs rather than those cheap but fradulent one.

Since you are all from India....would you go to Bihar for your MBA or Medical degree...its the same going to Philippines for your CPL....

agree 110% with avtraining1... go to a well organised school in USA or Aus.. stay away from these cheap "schools"

search Google for info how many Indian students have died in Philippines in plane crashes under CPL training...

STAY AWAY !

Welcome to Australian Airline Pilot Academy

They are one of the good schools in Aus owned by Rex Airlines, but not cheap.

Philippine State College of Aeronautics
 

How cheap is this college interms of pilot training?

Where I work, we have a list of countries where if you got your cpl there, we will not hire you, Phillipines is no. 3 out of the top 5.

Basically flight training is not cheap, if it were, something is horribly wrong and you should avoid it like the plague.

so its not advisible to do cpl in the Philippines despite the so called prices?But the school i mentioned do anyone know about it?

Research Canada, lots of flying schools.

43 air school in South Africa.

http://www.43airschool.com

You in for around 40k USD all in. Multi Engine CPL.

No BS. It's properly regulated. Call the school directly. No agents to deal with etc.

Unfortunately the Philippines has a bad name after some falsified hours situations and some bad press about the CAAP in recent years. Many of the wealthier Filipino Pilots train in the USA, which says a lot.

CAAP is a joke but the Philippines is a good place to get your foot in the door to start a career, assuming you know the right people and luck is on your side.
