Highland aero club at Inverness. JAA PPL £4000, no landing fees. Someone just completed in 3 weeks (much better Wx than ABZ).
I'll look into that also (I'm keeping an open mind on the whole thing), but problems from my end are going to be;
1 being based in Aberdeen - 2.5 hr drive north on that damn road
2 our head office is there so I won't be left alone, althought I might be able to wangle something with that.
3 I'd need to stay there for the duration as I'm no way going to commute (see 1), and B&B's around £30 pn, plus subsistance, you're looking at another £1000.
But I'll look into it. The no landing fees are interesting, the £16 at Aberdeen will be doing my head in when I get onto circuits.
Actually, I see they do a 5 hour thing for £499, I might go up and try that out and see what i think, if anything, it'll add another 5 hours instruction and into the log book for £175 less than Aberdeen.
