Oxfordshire Sportflying Club - Operators of Enstone Aerodrome

Oxfordshire Sportflying

Was indeed a good bet.
Almost 2 hours drive from London.
Nice place, nice and friendly people there.
With an EASA licence, I did 3 training flights, and then was signed off for a NPPL(SLMG) that I received one month later, no skill test required, it's just a difference training.
Training is on a T61, very enjoyable TMG, you may choose a Dimona if you wish.

I will now try to get on the basis of my NPPL an EASA SPL, with TMG privileges, so that I can keep on flying TMG's after April 2015. It should be a simple paperwork exercise.
I could have chosen to take a skill test to get a TMG class rating on my aeroplane EASA licence, but I needed a SPL licence anyway, as I intend to glide in France next summer.
