I’m sure Airways at Booker is great too.
But since we are from the same neck of the woods.
Don’t forget to include Stapleford in your decision making.
There are plenty of positives to consider by going there.
No landing fees at home base as they own the airport.
It’s close to Rochford for approaches.
Housing is on site.
But since Booker is close to you.
I’d likely make it my first choice too.
I’d stay away from either outfit at Oxford.
I don’t think Southampton won’t give you much credit off their ridiculous priced white tail program.
You don’t need a school in America.
Just a plane to rent for 100 (certified) hours.
If you go to a school, get an instrument rating.
It will make your IR that much cheaper.
Me also, I was definitely impressed with FTA upon my visit and I know of people going to commence training there who'll undoubtedly succeed, just personally I didn't think it was for me.
You're right, I'll give Stapleford an insight but I've enjoyed doing my PPLs so far with Booker and their FNPT II taster lessons they've given me have convinced me they can deliver the goods if I continue with them.

The main question of my thread though is after Booker, Stapleford etc, how much should I set aside for an MCCJOC? The likes of Stapleford do it for £2500, Kura for £9000. Why is there such a discrepancy?
