Thanks

How much money ya got?

Seriously, i have only been in there a few times, but from what i have heard its quite expensive. I heard one of the Chelsea footballers was learning there.

Anyway, where abouts do you live cause there may be other options too.

What is the name of the school?

Synergy Aviation: 08456-747 747

the above links you to the school website. last time I checked they charged well over 100 quid per hour dual.

Why don't you pop down there and see for yourself? It's easiest to get there over the M25, but I'm sure you can navigate your way there best.

Hi,
Check out: The Synergy Gateway
I think the prices on the website is a little dated. I think the last time I checked you have to add about £5-£10 p/h to it.

They have very nice planes. 2 C152's, 5 Warriors, 1 Archer III, 1 Arrow & 1 dodgy Cherokee 180 etc. (ugly but very good availability!)

Membership is not too expensive.
Have a look on line, they have nice pictures of each plane
Oh, G-BFMG is featured in the new Today's Pilot Magazine.


A/C HIRE:

Cessna 152 £110/hr
Piper Warrior PA28-161 £165/hr
Piper Archer III £180/hr
Piper Arrow IV £190/hr

GROUND INSTRUCTION:

PPL Flight Instruction £20/hr
PPL Ground Instruction/IMC £30/hr

I went up there today to look at renewing my SEP.

The price list I got is as follows.

A/C HIRE:

Cessna 152 £135/hr
Piper Warrior PA28-161 £175/hr
Piper Archer III £185/hr
Piper Arrow IV £195/hr

GROUND INSTRUCTION:

PPL Flight Instruction £25/hr
PPL Ground Instruction/IMC £35/hr
Instruction (in non FFC Aircraft) £35/hr

So a little more than Echokiloecho posted.. I actually did some of my PPL there a few years back and thought it was really good.. Although it's a lot more expensive now :-)

The reason for Fairoaks is because it is easy to get to. Train from Wimbledon Station to Woking Station direct.

Redhill/Bigginhill isn't so direct and takes longer.

Thanks

[SparksFlyHigh]

Are you going to walk from Woking station to Fairoaks? Good luck....

[EchoKiloEcho]

Ha-Ha! That was funny! Yes, it is quite a long walk. There are taxis though.

Weybridge & Brookwood stations are probably the same distance. Sunningdale not too far either. All about 10 mins drive.

[SparksFlyHigh]

I would pick you up from woking and take you there each lesson if you do it in an arrow and i can back seat for 45 hours

[SparksFlyHigh]

I wouldnt really advise Brookwood station unless you really like walking.

ltfc are at fairoaks, much cheaper and they can train as well
