This Review Overall Rating
One of the most efficient and worthwhile flight schools I've ever attended, and highly recommended for anyone looking either for initial training or renewals/revalidations of any ratings.
Based at Elstree aerodrome, Flight Training London is remarkably well-equipped and varied in its provided training for being at an airfield of its size and so close to London. The facilities were excellent, top class, and the aerodrome and local area are fantastic to fly in, the views of London great on the return flights to Elstree after a flight.
I joined Flight Training London when the time came to renew my EASA ME-IR after it long lapsed due to the pandemic. Where other schools had long lead times before they could take me on, Ivan Kurbanov was efficient and open to taking me on for training to get my ratings back, and I can say the results were well worth it.
The ME-IR simulator modelled after their DA-42 was excellent use for getting my skills back before flying in the real aircraft. A single flight was all the refresher training needed before we went for the renewal at Oxford, ferrying their DA-42 G-ZOLA there and back for the test and examiner. It was a fantastic aircraft to fly, simulated and real, and I have only praise to give Ivan and the whole school for the timely and efficient help their services were in getting these ratings back for me at long last.
Its thanks to them that I now am now able to pursue full commercial flying roles again, and in such a timely manner also. They got me flight test ready in only two weeks with their mixture of simulator and real flying, much faster than I was expecting.
I offer Ivan Kurbanov in particular my highest compliments, and encourage anyone seeking licensing or ratings, EASA or UK, to have Flight Training London near the top of their list to seek out. I shall certainly be encouraging a few other pilots I know who also want to get their ratings back to go for them.
A fantastic school, staff and location.
