Bournemouth Flying Clubs

[Ivor_Novello]

Well.. soon to start at the NATS college in Bournemouth, would like to join a local flying club to keep the hand in (albeit the meagre trainee salary doesn't suggest a lot of spare cash availability, but that will be my problem :))

I know there's plenty of flying clubs in the area, any suggestions ? Usual C172 / PA28 types preferrable.

(Would also look at groups/shares, but the temporary nature of my stay, hopefully not more than 9-12 months, probably doesn't make that an option).

Thank you

Ivor

Bournemouth Flying Club springs to mind. I thought you ATCO trainees got 20 odd hours of flying anyway....

I'll believe it when I see it :)
Last I heard was 15 hours, and that's only for Aerodrome trainees. But that was a few years ago, I don't know if they still do it.

I belong to a group at Bourenmouth flying a Grumman AA-5B Tiger. Availability and flying rates are very favourable. PM me if you are interested in the details.

Cheapest option might be microlighting out of Compton or Old Sarum....

It's Thrusters :eek: (I think...) at CA, but OS has some nice C42's.
