Old Sarum Flying Club- Gone????
Nibbler: there isn't yet an FTO. An FTO is a specific type of operation that is only needed for MEP, FI, CPL, etc - not for PPL, tailwheel, aeros, etc.

Old Sarum situation, and in answer to various q's on this and other boards.
The customer training records and all the exam records have been sent to the safe custody of the CAA.
This was done in line with the liquidators direct instructions following conversations with the CAA . Everything pertaining to the old company fell within their control on the collapse of Megastream.
The CAA will no doubt be happy to make these records available as is appropriate when each individual decides to further their training.
I am very hopeful that a large proportion of you will give the new flight training operators at Old Sarum a fair shot. We have been most careful to ensure that they are of good character and have the appropriate commitment and backing.
Much has been made of the short term start up period. Some of you will realise that agreements take time to formulate and longer to document. The pressing need was to get these people rolling as soon as was prudent.
We are therefore very pleased to welcome the team from Cunning Plan and their embryo Old Sarum Flying School and hope this is the beginning of a long term relationship that benefits themselves, us as operators and you the aviating public that make it all happen!

I stand, er sit corrected.
Well done to Angus and everyone involved - only 5 weeks to get training back up and running again!

Good Luck to all at Old Sarum Flying School.
Hope you get up and running soon
Got Liquidator letter today (OSFC) £454,610 deficiency
That is a hell of achievment for a school with no aircraft

Currently there are several PA28s and and a Bulldog for hire, one of the PA28s is a very nice "glass cockpit" Archer . Training includes IMC, PPL, Aerobatics, and advanced handling - the latter can be customised to the customer's requirements.
PM me for more details.

I suspect the mods might think it was inappropriate if I put more details and prices here so I'll reply by PM ASAP.
It would be inappropriate if you just started posting prices etc without being asked.
It is a bit of a fine line really but if it is not a blatent plug you would be alright.
Thanks BRL
The rates for the PA28s are on the embryonic website: Old Sarum Flying School
The dry solo rate for the Bulldog (low hours, good nav kit, including SatNav) is £95/hr.
"What kind of Glass Cockpit?": the PFD is an Avidyne EXP5000 and the MFD is an Avidyne EX5000
There isn't currently an Arrow available but one of the ex-OSFC Arrows may be available for hire locally - PM me if you're interested.

I'm so glad Old Sarum is not closing.
My father was an RAF pilot who trained on Lysanders here in WWII. He would have turned in his grave if it had been built over with rows of identical Bovis box homes. His grandson and granddaughter have had the flying lessons at Old Sarum for a year or so and i hope they will be able to continue to do so for the next 60.
