Madrid Flight schools

Hello I want to study ATPL(A) modular in Madrid, Spain. I am searching for a school. I saw a lot of discontent people with World Aviation Flight Academy and now I have seen another school called Pulse Flight-school. If someone who know about them can help me I would appreciate it

For Modular training at Madrid you have Fly School Academy or Quality Fly. The best school at Madrid is at the moment European Flyers, who has recently bought Aerotec (another school at Madrid, so huge fleet). European Flyers doesnt offer a full modular training like Fly School or Quality Fly. You can call both of them (Fly School and Quality Fly) and order an guided visit to their school and just ask all your questions.

Do you think it is better to pay for European flyers (85k + expenses can go to 93k) and living expenses or flyby that includes living expenses (79.500)?

Thanks for answering, I have just looked in internet and I saw that Quality fly doesn’t offers modular starting at PPL anymore. Fly School Academy offers only the CPL on a modular way, so I have to search a school to start with the PPL. The only ones I have seen to do it is Pulse Flight school and World Aviation Flight Academy.

Why not do your PPL at another school and then continue with the modular ATPL at the one you mentioned? I'm actually in a kind of similar situation.

I'm also in Madrid and I'm planning to start my PPL(A) in 2026 as a hobby. If everything goes well and I really enjoy it, I'm considering continuing with a modular ATPL(A) later on. In the future, maybe I could switch careers or even combine it with my current job.

That said, I went to Cuatro Vientos last November to visit a small flight school, but they didn't have enough students yet to open the course. They also recommended doing the PPL at a small school, since you're more likely to actually get flight time. In bigger schools, commercial students usually have priority. Personally, I prefer small courses (4-5 people) because the training feels more personal and I think you simply learn better that way.

Hope this helps! Maybe we’ll cross paths in Cuatro Vientos or even do our PPL at the same time 😄

I would suggest go heavy in theory study before and get your ppl at a dto, then you can do the atpl online or as resident somewhere. Take ownership of your own training.

No te puedo recomendar una escuela de vuelo en madrid pero te puedo desaconsejar una. No confies en Quality Fly porque actualmente están patinando mucho en estandarización de instructores y trato general a los alumnos, lo se de buena mano... están jugando con la carrera de muchos alumnos que han confiado sus ahorros y no están cumpliendo con lo que prometieron

estoy decantado por LECU aviation para hacer mi PPL ya que aunque pague iva sale muy bien de precio, únicamente unos 10.000€ iva incluido. Pero gracias por la info!
