“The only comment I can say is that I had the best instructor with the most experience that I’ve ever seen. The Simulator is also very good and I had the pleasure to do it with Cpt. Mendonça. I’m very pleased with you and your comfortable method of training so thank you for everything, because one day I start to work and all my little experience came from you.”

Dear Capt.Mendonça:
 |
This Rubén from India, first of all I want to thank you for giving us this opportunity cause I´m spending one of the happiest moments of my life here with this guys. They are pushing us so strong on each flight I make, but I´m learning a lot of things and I´m trying to get as much knowledge as I can.
It´s a hard operation but for once in my life I reallly feel as a pilot. All the things that you teached me are being so usefull for me and I´m giving the best of me. People here is like a big family and everyone is so kind with us so they make our life here much easier. I hope once I come back to Portugal I could see you again cause you were the only person that trust on me and gave me the chance to become a pilot and make my dream come true. On those days I hope you got a great time with your family and receive from me my best greatings for you and all your family, sincerely.

I write to you at 37,000 feet, flying
over the Alps in the company of my best memories.
I am currently flying as Co-pilot of Embraer 145 and every day I'm happy
enough, to be paid to do what I love the most - fly.
Days like today were only possible thanks to colleagues and friends
who helped me in this path. My thanks goes to these few, precious friends,
I was lucky enough to find along the way.
Stating the professionalism and support from all the elements of IFA
would be little. If today, I am happy to fly as an Airline Pilot, I
owe it to you all.
It would only be fair to have you now with me, onboard today's flight,
however, even far away, I'll take you flying in my heart everywhere.
To my dear friends and beloved Cte. Mendonca, thank you for the unconditional
support, you´ve always given me.
A kiss to everyone.

“Desde o primeiro dia até ao último foi tudo óptimo. O Sr. Cmt. Mendonça transmitiu o seu conhecimento aos alunos o que me fez estar mais bem preparado a vários níveis do que antes. O Cmt. Alvim foi muito importante na nossa aprendizagem. Correu tudo muito bem, num ambiente fantástico.”

“I didn’t know anything about IFA before I came. This has to be changed because IFA has really good facilities, really good people working there – instructor’s and administratives and this is something all people must know!”
