I can thoroughly recommend Carill: extremely professional with very pleasant and friendly folk, giving training of the highest standard. The instructors are very experienced, way beyond the PPL syllabus. The emphasis is on the sort of flying that will lead to further ratings and licences: PA28s with 'by the book' navigation in controlled airspace etc, rather than seat-of-the-pants tail-dragger flying and strip operations - but you still get plenty of trips round the island or out into Hampshire, Wiltshire and Sussex. Very efficiently organized and maintained, with no cancellations during my PPL training other than through poor weather. They also have an active 'PPL Club' which regularly flies out to all corners of the UK, Ireland and across the Channel.
