BFS is a good School

Post by 718 »

I know this school, i've flown there for my private pilot licence a few years ago! They are very kind and lot more organised than others school (I've made the ATPL in newCAG, but it was bad - now BFS made the ATPL too, and I've heard that it is lot better than CAG!). I make my IFR twin recheck every years there, and it's always ok ! :D

Dont hezitate to fly and always blue sky.

First of all, sorry for the poor information I will gave, it should be more take place into a blog. Anyway, some people might be intereseted to know the experience and ask for some information. In this case just do it.

Ok just done it today. First lesson ! woow a lot of turbulences today. But the landing was smooth, many Ryanair takeoffs and departures....

Because of the turbulences, it was not easy to be calm all the time, but sometimes it was very nice, and the landing was great (even if the instructor said I applied too much brake ;-)) I had a great overview of the Villers-la-Ville abaye, the caterpilar factory... The other things ? I don't know. I focused to much on the altimeter, the ball, and the artifical horizon.

The control tower just complained about radio communication (bad quality, may be a maintenance problem)

However, what about the security ? It was very strange that you can take the command on a plane on a big airport with international destination without ANY identity control !

I personnaly think there is a gap between the reality and what we can hear in newspaper.

Anayway, for me and today, it was benefit...

To be continued....
