Currently at leeds flying school doing cpl/ir and FI.
The buggas don't sell themselves very well.
Things i have learnt since starting there.
There 55hour IR course is 25 sim 25 twin and 5 single.
The instructors arn't hour builders one is the owner (Tony) and the other is Kevin who is brutally honest but seems to have the knack of knowledge transfer with minimal stress.
They have 2 twins a Cougar and a Duchess. The Duchess has anti ice if that tickles your fancy.. .And touch wood the planes haven't gone tech apart from normal service checks.
While on course solo sim is free as long as the instructors don't need it. Book it at weekends. The sim is also set up for the flight model of the cougar and it is very realistic apart from the seat is too comfy.
They also seem to have a rare ethos of customer satisfaction (dosn't stop Kevin calling you a pillock when you deserve it). And if flights need to be done in the evening or at weekends it has never been put across as a special favour.
On the money side of things they don't expect you to pay up front just keep things in credit so whenever Dylan asks you, throw a card at him and tell him a figure. Which is another point there is only one lad (who is a wannabie) doing admin so you don't feel you are paying to get abused by multiple post menapausal bitches from hell.
