The pilot centre is in theory probably one of the best clubs in the UK. Mostly great instructors and atmosphere and very fairly priced.

Practise can be different though. The club is too busy and it's hard to learn if you are having one lesson a week which could easily be cx due to weather.

On top of that - and this may just be my personal experience - i had a major problem with instructor consistency. I did my first 12 odd hours with them and ended up with at least 7 different instructors. This was partly due to last minute changes by them, and partly once again because it was so busy it was hard to get a slot with your favourite. I found this to be very detrimental to my confidence and eventually felt very alienated.

Granted i could have kicked up a fuss about this, but i would have hoped for a bit more initiative from them too.

And there you have the other side of the coin...
