Highland Flying School - Opinions??

Hi all!

I'm thinking about doing my PPL in Inverness, the costs look pretty good compared to other schools in Scotland (and the UK for that matter) does anyone have any experiences reviews of the school?

If not, any recommendations of another school (anywhere in the UK) with similar prices?

I'm also looking for a contact email for them, I've emailed their Information email but don't seem to be getting anything back.

Thanks!

P

Never been a member, but have operated out of there on several occasions. Nice aeroplanes, very nice people, great location, super weather. I always feel rather jealous once Ive been there, that they've got such a great setup.

I can't see you going wrong with them. Absolutely wonderful

Agreed India Mike.

Popped in there this Summer inquiring about some 172 time. Received a very warm welcome, got a tour of the ramp and felt comfortable just hanging around and "chewing the fat". Their prices are competitive as well.

They are however very busy...

Enjoy.


Best,

Indeed - Both the Petes are excellent guys - well worth a visit just to shoot the breeze - the kettle is always on!

I'm looking to do my IMC there later this year, and revalidated there earlier this year.

Also agree!

I flew in a few times when I lived in Scotland - always received a great welcome and even soup and sannies!

Great airfield and fab area to fly in - I really miss it!

Thanks!

Thank you all very much for your comments. Peter got back to me today about the flying and the accommodation available, very cheap and sounds like a really nice area to fly.
