I did my IR with PAT this summer. Their record is very good for 1st time passes. Indeed I got one.
The instructors are top rate, you will defo land on your feet with Andrew or Twinkle. Flying for Fun who writes on the instructors forum, is there and is very patient and understanding although he has a poor idea of what constitutes a coat of paint on a car!
The a/c they use are Beech Barons and are very easy to fly. Proper work-horses, they do what they should and nothing hidden.
The school has a good reputation with the CAA down there.
The new building is a credit, with (free wireless internet access). In addition the mutt will hoover the floor for you.
The FNPT II sim is top dog and great fun, especially trying to barrell roll when the instructor is explaining something to another student!
If you play golf in the evenings then Basil is your man and finally, last but not least, MoneyPenny will attend to your every need and book the slots etc for you.
So all you have to do is concentrate on those single engine NDB approaches at Alderney, with no DME...
I am sure you won't be disappointed.
Regards
