   Please exercise caution when considering this flight school. I enrolled in an Integrated ATPL program with L3Harris in 2018 and was assigned to their Portuguese base in Ponte de Sor. Despite passing all my exams on the first attempt and graduating at the top of my class, I experienced significant delays in my training. My flight time was severely limited, averaging between 0 and 5 hours per month, and after two years, I had only completed the theoretical portion and logged 20 flight hours. When COVID-19 struck, the school was unable to cope and abruptly closed the Ponte de Sor base, dismissing all students at that location simultaneously. A quick search for "L3 Ponte de Sor" in the news will provide more context. They initially offered us a refund of €50,000, despite the fact that we had already paid for the entire training program and had only completed the theoretical portion at that point. Fortunately, with legal assistance, a few other students and I were able to secure a more substantial settlement. However, I strongly advise caution as my experience with this school was far from satisfactory. I eventually completed my training at a low-cost flight school, where I received superior instruction compared to L3Harris. I am now a First Officer with Air France, but I attribute none of my success to L3Harris.
