Just to update this situation for those in the south of the UK hoping for a training location at shoreham.
skyborne are receiving their EASA ATO approval in about 6 months time and will use shoreham as a base to conduct EASA MEIR skills tests due to its proximity to French airspace. I have been told they will not be intaking any sort of ‘full courses’ from this location; simply just conducting MEIR for there to be current EASA students. Suppose it’s more financially efficient to do that than to open a whole new Base in EU?
