At first the quality of training that you get for the price you pay is really good. Of course you could go for the most perfect school but then you pay at least the double off what you pay over here.

After movement to Burgos Airport the facilities are perfect, FlyBy has their own maintenance hanger in which all their aircrafts are stored. The aircrafts are brand new or only a few years old in which you start your training. Later in the advanced phase (start of IFR, so called SPICS), you wil also fly with one of the older aircrafts such as C172 and PA28 which is a good experience.

For the theoretical part you need to dedicate a lot of your own time to study outside the classes. But this is normal for this training. Also the class size can be a little bit big, but if you pay good attention it's oke.

The IFR part and ME part is given by experienced airline pilots and experienced CFI's with a lot of hours I enjoyed this stage a lot. 

Weather wise, in the winter you fly less compared to the summer but even in the summer it is possible to fly 4/5 days a week if you passed all the 14 ATPL exams.

Despite the whole corona situation I finished my training in 16 months. Without the corona this would be in less then 14 months even possible.

After all I would highly recommend this school to everyone!
