Hi there, I finished my EASA training in 2019, I didn't manage to find a job before the pandemic and I got stuck until now.
I live in London and was looking at various alternatives to get back on track and renew my MEP IR while working without going abroad.
Would you suggest a flight school in the London/South England area that offers EASA training with Tecnam aircraft?
Thank you for Your Help

I'm not sure there are any UK-based schools that use twin-engine Tecnam's. Most use DA42'S, PA34's or the occasional Duchess.

If you're happy to go with the DA42 then Stapleford can probably help you out and possibly Blackbushe.

Thanks guys, it seems like Tecnams became even rarer in the UK in favor of the DA42s.
It is a shame because from a student's perspective, they really help to contain the costs of training and with the G1000 has nothing to envy to the DA42.
