3 Positives
-It was quick! CPLMEIR finished in 5 weeks! So A/C and instructor availability were great. Some places in the UK in comparison were quoting me 5 months
-Cosy! The accommodation on site has everything you need and feels very homely
-Instructing beyond the scope of the CPLMEIR - I received great tips and insights into how to fly for the airlines. I feel pretty clued up now as to what to expect going into my APS MCC for example.
3 Negatives
-It's in the 'middle of nowhere'. If you want to 'escape' for a bit you'll have to use the company hire car (reasonably priced). but the nearest significant town is about 5km away
-Flying times. Not necessarily a negative for me, but be open to flying the simulators well into the night, you could have a slot 1900-2100 but finish around midnight.. again not a problem for me, I'm sure if you really didn't want this it could be communicated
-Tecnam 2006, the twin, is not the best performance-wise. Not a problem for me because I was more about the value of money. A twin is a twin, and that's a win for me.
Anyone, specifically British students considering Poland really shouldn't worry about the fact it's not the UK in my opinion. The level of English of instructors was completely fine for me. Anyone who has any questions feel free to contact me to get more information! All in all, I loved it and as soon as I got home I want to go back. Dziejuke!
