Hi all

Can anyone recommend a good flying school fairly near to Edinburgh? I have completed approx. half of my PPL which was done at Filton but have now moved North of the border and am looking to finish it off!!!

A quick search of Google threw up Edinburgh Flying Club based at Edinburgh Airport and Tayside Aviation a bit further North. Both have Piper's which is preferable (since I have learnt on a Warrior so far) but I wondered if anyone had any advice / comments on these or any other schools in the area.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Roberand

leading edge at Cumbernauld have 2 PA38s and a possible Pa28 Archer in the pipeline.

Ive done most of my training with them, and would recommened them.

www.le-ft.co.uk for more details, or pm me and ill give you a phone number if you want more details.

Cumbernauld is an easy drive from Edinburgh, I stay in the Livingston area, and it takes me around 20mins by car on a few back roads.

classic case of not pulling my finger out and having a bit more of a thorough search.......

the thread on VFR in Scotland caught my attention too! (the weather bit that is!)
