Hi VFR
Well, it isnt as bad as that i must admit, you can usually tell how BRS is towards GA by the ATC, basically they are very accommodating, you can usually get circuits when you want, they dont keep you in massive holding patterns forever (although on my 1st solo I was holding for about 17 minutes
) (sept 11th 2001 as well just as 'it' happened) and they try to get you airbourne before the commercials with 'cleared for immediate take off' clearances etc etc, I think BRS needs the GA side of aviation, there was talk of them moving it south side but has dissipated now.
I will ask some guys at BFC when I go in next Tuesday and get you some feedback, if you email me I can put you in touch with someone who knows more.
As for Filton, not sure thats the case because Aeros flies out of there and they are listed in the annual list of flying schools in the GA magazines, my wife phoned them up for me when she was getting me a trial lesson but I decided to go to Lulsgate instead, in hindsight I should have gone to Filton cos it is only a 15 minute drive for me whereas BRS is 45 minutes there.
