My daughter wants to do her flight training at Sherburn. She wants to start this when she is 16, then hopefully gain her PPL by the time she is 17.

We took her last week for a trial flight, and the instructer was really good, and she liked him, he let her do more on a trial flight than other 14 year olds do(his words not mine!). The atmosphere seemed calm and relaxed, no delay for take off as no commercial traffic, and the cost per lesson is significantly cheaper than another flight school in Leeds, with no extra cost of landing fees to pay for.

Bought her some books really cheaply from Ebay, she has started to read book one by making notes and absorbing the information, hopefully this will stand her in good stead when we take her for lessons.

Anyone recommend she does the degree at Uni with the flight training included, or to do the flight training in her own leisure before Uni, and do the management course, any advice would be appreciated.
