Elstree Flyers Flying School

After a lot of searching I am thinking of doing my PPL with the above school, based at Elstree.
Can anyone tell me if I am going to "a good home"?
The one thing I do not want is aggressive, stunt loving instructors.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has some info.
Ps: Elstree is logistically very, very convenient for me.

Best bet is to do an hour's trial lesson, spend time at the school and speak to other students and take it from there.

Before making any commitment to a school it's always wise to shop around, look at everything that's available at a particular airfield.

If convenient you are to Elstree, I suggest you look at Falcon Flying School, Flyers Flying School: Learn to Fly in London!. Very experienced instructors with a good range of aircraft.

I'm assuming you mean "Flyers" Flying School as Falcon has been based in Biggin Hill since 1977.

Flyers seams like an amiable & experienced bunch though. If you are that local visit them and speak to the instructors. In regards to "stunt loving" instructors unless you are completing an aerobatics course i wouldn't worry.

Falcon was the old name - i think it changed name recently to Flyer's.

The instructors there are very good - all good ex-cabair people and extremely experienced.

I am hours building with them at the moment having completed my PPL at cabair but use flyer's as I know the instructors well.
