I have to renew my FI rating and do my examiner initial. I have a examiner but I can't find an aircraft.

I have just moved to this airport with work and don't know the local schools. The local PPL school has been bought out by a bigger commercial school and has effectively been shut down (temp).

When approached with the idea of hiring a 152 for the test (with one of their ex panel examiners) I was told I had to use their examiners if I use their aircraft. After five minutes of talking to the rudest woman I left amazed at how they had any students.

I will have to fly an aircraft down from a friendlier airfield. Are there any other schools around which are as analy retentive as this one? http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/frown.gif

Try Netherthorpe, about 4nm E of J30 M1 (Sheffield Aero Club).
