Learn to Fly in Scotland at Edinburgh Flying Club - Scotland's capital airport - flying lessons, trial flights, flight training From Edinburgh, don't know much but guess landing fees will make it fairly expensive.

Leading Edge At Cumbernauld, prices on website. Use Cessna 152/172 and PA28's Landing fees about £10.50 each time.

Cumbernauld Flying Centre : Flight training for student pilots Also at Cumbernauld, use Diamond Katanas and are subject to the same land fees.

Tayside Aviation Fife and Dundee Airport Flying Experience, Gift Vouchers From Fife (poss not at weekends) and Dundee. Use 152's, PA28's and Grob 115. Well established and good reputation. No idea on landing fees.

ACS Aviation From Perth airport. Use Cessna 152's, PA28 Archers and PA38 Tomahawks. Landings included in hourly cost. 3 runways here so Crosswinds a bit less of a potential issue. I'm currently doing my CPL here and would recommend training from Perth if the distance isn't too far.

Main thing is, call or drop by these places. Speak to existing students and instructors to get a feel for each place. Then if you can't decide then ask here again for pointers.

Don't pay up-front (at least not for the whole course) keep your money in your bank. Have a search on here for lots of guidance and reasons for this.

Good Luck,

Paul.
