WLAC
Thanks all for the helpful comments.
I actually used to be a member of WLAC and yes its a charming place, but £300 membership to make use of the nice bar is a bit steep, plus there was a lack of experienced instructors on their full-time staff (only major criticism). I am fond of the place but the £££s are better spent on flying time.
BAFC looks very good, I'll certainly pay them a visit. Operating from a busy doesn't bother me in the slightest, except for the possible delays of course.
I've noticed most FTOs in the area charge around 160-190 p/h for IMC instruction these days. Can someone explain exactly why IMC instructors cost so much to carry? Do they cost more to employ??
