I wrote quite a detailed account of my quest to find a flying school at Liverpool Airport but for some reason it isn't showing.
Anyway, I chose Lomac Aviators, mainly because they're flying instructors aren't commercial wannabe's who are just doing the job to build up their hours. Their full time flying instructor, Neil, does the job because he loves it - it's nice to have someone willing to pass their enthusiasm for flying onto their students.
They were also the most welcoming and don't mind me hanging around the flying school once my lessons are over, or indeed just popping in for a visit even when I'm not due to have a lesson - it's amazing just how much free knowledge you can pick up chatting with other pilots over a coffee - talking of which, the refreshments are free, I've heard you have to pay for it at some of the other schools.
The owners, Jimmy and Paul have been in aviation for years and apart from having a wealth of knowledge on the subject, have a sense of humour that cannot be beaten.
Landing fees were also a consideration and these were cheaper at Lomac than the other flying schools at Liverpool. Training for the PPL costs us mere mortals enough without having to pay over-inflated landing fees.
I'm happy with my choice, Lomac is No.1 for me!
