IR Training @ PIK
@ ecj : "Prestwick is an ideal location for multi IR training"
& @ US : "why not tap into the space left by BAE and train at Prestwick which has been proven as an excellent location for comercial flight training"
-------------------------------------------
I fear this is no longer true - the expansion of Ryanair, the number of heavy freighters & the increased use of the airfield by the military means that most of the training will be practising holds ! Already, locally based flying training is limited when jet circuits are taking place. In addition, the limited controlled airspace which will be instated on 30/10/2003 suggests that the freedom enjoyed by instrument trainers in the past will be severely limited.
