jet_breeze,

Blackpool - 3 runways, 28/10 predominantly used. 31/13 25/07 are smaller and used less but give the crosswind choice. Very helpful and understanding (re. students) ATC. Busy airport with Ryan now operating there. Good if you are planning a commercial career.

I did my ppl at Westair after looking at all the clubs. They are probably the most expensive, but have very reliable and well-maintained A/C. Personally I was very happy with the club. I have only heard negative comments about one of the other clubs.

Best thing to do is go down and have a word with them all and have a look at the facilities.

Regards.
