FI Courses

[airmiles]

Wanting to do a FI course soon. Have visited quite a few schools, some good some not so good. Anyhow since pprune is a wealth of information I was wondering if any folk out there could tell me some good schools; schools you would recommend.

Cheers

I did mine with Clive at SE Aviation. Definitely worth a look - Headcorn is a fun place too.

If you want to do it the military way try DEFTS at Barkston Heath. Nice shiny planes, good facilities etc.etc. People have been employed there afterwards as instructors. (and they are not very expensive either)

Well Deano, that is where I wanted to do it, but the next FI course doesn't start till November. But thanks though.

Does anyone know about Stapleford.. what is that like?

[Deano777]

arf, I didn't realise they were booked up solid like that, keep in touch with them if you don't find anywhere, people do have a tendancy not to pay a deposit or 2 etc.

Good luck mate

Did mine with Carol Cooper at Andrewsfield - no complaints, friendly bunch.

TPC

With Eva at The Pilot Centre, Denham. www.pilotcentre.co.uk. Carol Cooper at Andrewsfield was the examiner - recommend either of them!

Rumour has it that Wycombe Air Centre may be back in the running with FI courses shortly.

Another recommendation for Aeros at Gloucester (If you're in the south) & For Stuart Anderson (If you're in the north) Have experience of both so feel free to PM if you like.

Check the website for ONTRACK AVIATION out. They are based at Wellesbourne and specialise in tailoring a course around a student. Staffed by highly experienced ex military instructors & display pilots. They fly rather nice aircraft as a bonus!
