Hi all,

It's my first post in this forum so be kind :D

I'm looking into doing my PPL in and around Berkshire area UK and was wondering if anyone could recommend a few decent schools based on past experience?

Many thanks,

MBR.

White Waltham is quite nice, but as far as I remember is all grass so may be restrictive if it gets a bit wet. British Airways Flying Club is very good but pricey (PM me as I got PPL there) and Wycombe Aviation (I think thats their name but same aerodrome as BAFC) are a little further up the road from White Waltham.

i trained at white waltham, good school, good modern fleet of PA28s and a cub. IME of training over the winter period, as long as the wx was ok, the grass was not a problem.
ww has a very good clubhouse and a large and active membership, but worth looking at booker as well.
depending on what part of berks you are in blackbushe may also be an option.
good luck
:) :ok:
