Flying Schools in Newquay

[adverse-bump]

Anyone know of any schools in newquay looking for part time FI's. just about to relocate and wouldnt mind keeping the SEP valid.

There are no flying schools at Newquay.
There are three PPL schools in Cornwall, Bodmin, Perrenporth and the Land's End Flying School.

Don't know about Newquay, but I know of an FTO requiring JAR-FCL ME/IR/CPL Instructors in the South West of England. PM if you would like the details.

[adverse-bump]

thanks but was just looking for part time FI work, as ill be full time with an airline.

Make sure you clear with your airline any extra flying, as it might compromise your duty hours. Some airlines turn a blind eye but most don't allow their pilots to instruct part time. Private flying is not affected.

Forgot to mention, there is at least one PPL school at Plymouth airport, Plymouth is probably about an hours drive from Newquay. Just as close as the other PPL schools in the area from Newquay.

I thought Perranporth was only about 10 mins from Newquay

[scooter boy]

Yeah Bahn-Jeaux is right, Perranporth is the closest option for Newquay, very nice little airfield too.

And if it takes you an hour to get from Newquay to Bodmin, then you have definitely taken the wrong route!! :E

[portsharbourflyer]

Yes, sorry everyone, Perrenporth is only about a 20 minute drive from Newquay, as said Bodmin isn't that far either.

However none of the schools in Cornwall are particulary busy; therefore the school at Plymouth is much more likely to have vacancies for a part time instructor.

The other thing to consider Adverse, if you are unrestricted then the Culdrose flying club may be interested in your services on a part time basis.

As a west countryman stuck in deepest darkest Newcastle Upon Tyneshire, the thought of flying from Perranporth and Bodmin almost puts a lump in my throat.

Beautiful

:(

Thankfully the new dualled section of the A30 has virtually removed that nightmare!!

Never a problem on 2 wheels though!

There were rumours of a Flying School starting up an Newquay once transition had been completed - however I have seen nothing yet to substantiate that - and rumour control is working overtime at the moment!

[portsharbourflyer]

There is not the demand nor customer base to support another PPL school in Cornwall, if a school did open in Newquay then I am certain one of the other three schools would close.
