dsfs tankering

Dsfs have stopped tankering fuel with students at Gamston now, theyve not been in for a bit doing that. Primarily because they're hitting Sturgate hard now doing exactly the same thing !

Lord knows why students just accept it.

PACE - that is not slur, its based on fact. Go see.

If you're not far from Humberside then Frank Morgan flying school gets my vote. Great school and some top instructors, plus a better mix of aircraft type than Donny I suspect.

I have no experience of Doncaster flying school, but have recently completed my NPPL with Stuart and Caz at full Sutton, I felt the instruction was good and had no problems at all.

DFS Do they exist

Been reading good and bad about DFS.

Looking to take PPL, just wish they would answer phone or email.

You will for any airfield, doesn’t matter where and what they fly it. I trained at Multiflight, which is now PTT and have just as many negative opinions as positive. I would recommend location and personal feel about the service.


For that area there is a few fields to choose from, apart from D/S:


PTT @ LBA
York Flying School @ Breighton
Sandtoft
Gamston
Sherburn-in-Elmet


Maybe some others but they come to mind first.

Retford/Gamston

Instructor John Shaw and Gamston Flying School would be my recommendation. Good selection of aircraft, friendly & knowledgeable staff, plus on-line booking. I did my initial IMC there, and have also revalidated there a couple of times, plus rented their aircraft when our own has been U/S.

I'll second John Shaw and Gamston. I sometimes rent from Gamston Flying School and they are a good bunch.

I think they have closed down due to some kind of management changes. It's all Up in the air at the moment, excuse the irony.

Info from an x student who was half way thru his training
