Hi I have not long completed my NPPL with Tayside Aviation. I started at Perth (Scone) where the instructors were fantastic but when Tayside Aviation moved back to Dundee I followed! I wasnt as impressed with Dundee but I completed my license with them. I found that having Leuchars nearby gave me a chance to do Matz training and of course there are both Glasgow and Edinburgh closeby too. Perth training is now done by Tayflite on behalf of the Scottish Aero Club and the arrangements are great (no landing fees) saving a packet when it comes to circuits! The instructors Luke and Simon along with others are a great bunch.
I live in Cumbernauld and although the airport is only 5 mins away it was still cheaper to travel to Perth (and friendlier) than doing the training locally. This has now changed slightly due to the arrival of Leading Edge club at Cumbernauld who have made the site much more friendly. This is a long one but I hope it helps.
John.
