Stapleford 'Structured' Hour Building Block

Hi all,

I am currently a quarter of my way through this block so hopefully I can give you a fairly accurate description.

The block itself consists of 99hours flying time (based on flying one of the club's many C152s) and includes 5 hours to achieve your night rating.

As for the 'structured' content.... well not exactly. There isn't a specific layout or set of exercises to carry out (not that I've seen anyway.) I did ask one of the instructors what I should be practising and he mainly recommended nav around the local area, especially to the North & West (with London, Stanstead and Luton all close by.)

Even though this 'structured' block turned out to be a glorified standard hour block, it's still giving you 99 hours at two thirds the price of anyone else in the south east (around £75ph plus discount) plus a night rating. The centre itself is brilliant, everyone is so friendly and the atmosphere is great.

I would definately recommend it!

Cheers,
