JDA
Hi Too Low
JD Aviation still exists, but not at Manchester.
Basically Manchester School of Flying ceased to operate from Manchester, it matters not why.
But as a result of them leaving there was no one to run the AVGAS.
John tried for a while to operate out of Manchester but with gas not available at base, it wasn't long before the move to LPL.
Whilst I have always said that Manchester being a big airport never got in the way of flight training, and it didn't. Liverpool is better.
One problem at MAN was the price if you wanted to get airborne before 11am, LPL does not have this restriction.
While I was there we would use this time to brief the flight.
But there was times when I would liked to have got airborne earlier.
As for the school, I would thoroughly recommend John, Alan and the other instructors. It is the people that matter.
I would just like to add that I did my CPL/IR with John.
Then after some time instructing PPL's joined John and instructed CPL/IR for him.
I am no longer with John as I joined an airline.
But if I had the time I would love to instruct there again.
