Thumbs up

As an ex-FIC approved instructor from 1970 to 1999 and an FIE from 1972 to 1999 I can highly recommend Leicester.

I am a member there and base the aircraft I own with my son there so perhaps I am biased. However the standards of the FIC instructors there is very professional and the club facilities take a lot of beating. Moreover the atmosphere is friendly with no nonsense about wearing high viz jackets ot other H&S crap.

If I were starting again as I did back in 1960 with my own FIC I would choose Leicester. Though with my present NPPL(SEP) and at the age of 72 that is hardly likely. Still do some coaching and mentoring though and love it.

Cheers,
