Mixing flying schools
Hi all,
My question is...
I have started flying at a local grass strip airfield close to me, but having experience flying from a reasonably busy airfield such as Biggin Hill, I do (however strange it may sound) miss the radio chatter and queuing e.t.c. I feel this is great on-going tuition that helps to build your skills as a pilot.
However, I do like the family atmosphere provided at my local grass strip so was considering an hour or 2 PPL tuition at each school every other week.
Leeds Bradford offers newer aircraft, 'real runways' and busy traffic control.
My local field offers great friendly atmosphere, the challenges of a grass strip and real nuts and bolts aircraft to fly.
What are everyones experiences of flying at different types of fields, which is best for development or is it just a case of indifference. Also is it even possibly to combine two schools to gain a PPL?
Many thanks all
Alex
