Did mine at Simtech during the middle of last year. Have no complaints at all. The facilities there are top notch but you might want to bring your own lunch as I believe the sandwich van that calls round is a bit pricey. The first three days are supposed to be in the classroom but because the sim wa...

This is a little video I compiled just recently of footage I took during my CPL/IR training at PAT, Bournemouth.

Also, if you're going out to Weston to talk to Flightwise, be sure to check out the other schools there as well (there are three fixed wing schools there as far as I'm aware - National Flight Centre, East Coast Flight Training and Flightwise). Shop around, check out their aircraft, their prices, get...

If you're going to make a broad statement like that, I would suggest you back it up with evidence.

p.245 in the first edition of Aviators Guide to Ireland, you'll find Kinnitty Castle (a 440m x 20m grass strip) and this evening I just noticed that they have a deal on for a one (or two) night stay there through LivingSocial. So, I thought I'd put it out there in case someone fancied a nice little ...

Do you have reason to doubt that you won't pass the Class 1? Or that you'll get a restriction on your licence? Or is just a general fear?
