Plenty of choice at Ardmore

There are four (at least) training places at which you can do a C Cat. But why do you want a C Cat? Do you want free hours, or another hobby, or to further you own training? Are you paying for it yourself? Are you going to study full or part time?

The C Cat is a lot of hard work - possibly the hardest exam you will ever do.

In order from the gate:

1. Ardmore Flying School. Make sure that you are very rich because the cost is greatest here. Support base is big though, and you will probably have a job at the end (although no C Cat works for money - only love). Two-Handed 172 flyers.

2. The Auckland Aero Club. Good if you like grrrrr-ummans. Next to Cafe that serves good coffee.

3. Airline Flying Club. Best Value rates on the field flying Cessna 152's. Plenty of coffee drinkers, students to practice briefings on, and the most experienced and popular instructors on the field (1 x A Cat Flight Examiner, 3 x B Cat, 5 x C Cat, and D Cats). Check www.airlineflyingclub.tk

4. Eagle Flight Training. Better value than #1 and #2, but can't tell you the pass rate ('cos I don't know). They fly 172's - but only one hand on controls.

5. not sure if Technam are training C Cats.

Good Luck on your journey with the C Cat.
Just Remember - you are the customer, and if you are not happy with where you are going, then your training is transferable (unless locked into student loan). Take the time to visit all the places and ask the hard questions.

ECT???
