What Pilot School to Choose ?

Post by Unilitha2 »

Hi everyone !

I am considering to enter a flightschool in one year from now, all of them seem uncredibly expensive and thus it is worth to know which one is the best to go to.

Does anyone have a particular opinion on the Belgian Flight School, the Sabena Flight Academy ?
The former is around 20.000€ cheaper but then I don't know about the difference of reputation and the quality of courses that you would get in one or the other ?

Thank you !

If I would have to rank them by "reputation", I think, and this is only a personal opinion, I would rank 1/SFA, 2/Hub Air, and the others behind.
Personally I don't care that much about "reputation" as they will get you all the same licence, so I'm currently learning (PPL for the moment) at New cag (Gosselies), I think it is the cheapest available, and the possibility to have evening classes.

Belgian airlines don't care about which FTO you come from anymore. What they want is the result, meaning they want your skills and knowledge. Every belgian FTO is capable of giving you this. SFA & Hubair indeed have a good reputation, but it doesn't mean you'll get a better training there than anywhere else in Belgium.

If you want to discuss about it in details, just send me a private message and I will give you my email address.
