Flight Acadamy Scotland
I'm hoping to start my ppl this spring and have been looking around at where I can do my training. I stay in Edinburgh but have been told that landing fees at edinburgh airport are very high. I found Flight Acadamy Scotland on the internet who are offering free landings, and have been over to Cumbernauld to have a look around.
I have to admit that a few alarm bells started ringing when I walked in the door. Other posts I have read on pprune make out that there is no money to be made in light aviation yet they have clearly invested alot of cash in their operation. If i'm going to part with several thousands of pounds to do my ppl i need to be confident that their not going to go bust and leave me with nothing. The other thing that worried me was their instructors . Looking at their website, none of them seems to have much experience and two of the three instructors got their ppls in the US - this is hardly a good advertisement for training in the UK!
If i'm going to go to the expense of learning to fluy, I want to be taught well. I want to go on to do a commercial licence, but have been told that this can be very hard work if you were not taught well in the first place.
Has anyone any experience of Flight acadamy Scotland? should I be cautious about training with them?
