Check before you pay
What the public sources don't settle — and the questions to put to the school in writing.
Things that don't line up
Not necessarily a problem — but worth asking about in writing.
Fleet size
The homepage says 46 aircraft across three main centres and also "about thirty" aircraft; the fleet page and English homepage say 42 aircraft across two main centres.
Integrated ATPL price and length
The price list gives €104,000 over 18–24 months; the ATPL theory page gives a total of €99,500 for the full course and an average of 24 months; the integrated ATPL page gives about 18 months on average.
PPL price
The price list gives €14,900; the PPL page gives an average cost of €12,550.
CPL price
The price list gives €13,070 (€9,500 without "VSV"), excluding the DGAC fee; the CPL page gives a from-price of €8,935, excluding test, examiner and DGAC fees.
MEP length
The price list gives 2 weeks; the MEP page about one week.
ATPL theory certificates
The ATPL theory and integrated ATPL pages list 13 certificates; the Cycle Ingénieur page says 14.
UPRT at Valence
The UPRT page offers the course at Perpignan and Toussus-le-Noble only; the course calendar lists UPRT dates at Valence.
Simulators
The simulator page heading says 4 simulators but describes three.
Other centres
The French homepage names Rennes, Thiès (Senegal) and La Réunion as centres; the English homepage names Dordogne (Belvès and Sarlat), Martinique, Tunisia and Morocco; the centres page lists only the three French centres, partner engineering schools and the Senegalese Air Force school at Thiès.
Fleet list
The fleet page introduction mentions a Cessna 177RG Cardinal that is not in the list; the course pages mention a CAP 10 and an Extra 300, which the fleet page does not list.
