I did my training at YMEN
Hi AP,
I think you have most of the information you need in the posts above.
I did my training with Pearson's at YMEN and was very happy. While they don't charge landing fees separately it is built in to the hourly rate. So I think you will find their rates are higher than you might find elsewhere.
For me, it was easy to get to. 15mins to drive to YMEN compared to 45mins for YMMB and probably 50mins YLED (one way). Particularly useful when you find you have taken the keys home with you.
The big thing about training in Class C is that the procedures become second nature. So while I'm still relatively low time I'm not phased flying through TCAs.
Cheers Ted. (PM if you have any other questions about Pearsons.)
