This Review Overall Rating
I believe the strong point of FlyBy is the value for money.
Good flexibility to student needs. Weekly flight schedule in advance. A number of brand new aircrafts. No hidden fees. Instructors are well prepared and most of them friendly. I enjoyed flying with the chief flight instructor, he has experience and the right attitude (in my humble opinion even more important than experience).
APS MCC has been the best part of the training with very nice people, all high experience airline pilots.
I finished my ATPL integrated course in exactly two years, this including the lock down due to Covid. It's been a good timing for me, since I enjoyed the process and I well distributed the workload. Without having to sacrifice much free time, friends and family.
I would say is very hard to conclude everything in 14 months, but not impossibile, you have to be very focus and lucky. Just consider to spend few months more in Spain. Where cost of living is acceptable.
The weather in that area unfortunately is not good as I expected. Sometime I didn't like also the communication in the school. It happened that for small issues I had to escalate too much, because the persons in charge of that duty didn't provide answers.
In conclusion I can only recommend this school. That's not perfect but I think you will not find perfect flight schools out there.
If you want higher quality you could go in flight schools where you have to pay 50/60k€ more than in FlyBy. And this, in my opinion, for the same licence is just not worth It!
