View Full Version : Are flight schools busy?
Fellow pilots,
As an instructor who is not flying a lot recently, just wondering how your flight school is fairing? What is ahead once the current batch of students pass their skillstests?
No names please, its hard enough out there without jeopardizing a name.

We're extremely busy although somewhat non-standard as a specialist UPRT provider.

Very busy in the far South-West, both SEP and Microlight. New enquiries as well as existing students.
It's only the appalling August weather (week of fog, then gales) that's prevented us exceeding August '19 figures.

We did 60 hours in 1st month back on one aircraft, can't remember the last time we did that.

Germany: In my club we are busy as can be, especially PPL, but also microlight. I do about 12-15hrs a week, part time beside my day job. Our Katanas have to go to the shop for inspection every two weeks.
The commercial outfit I work for pretty busy too, still a lot of IR and CPL training going on.
