any thoughts on cabro aviation aberdeen? and medicals
hi,
i've just found the details for cabro aviation and they look like a good choice for doing my pplim just wondering if anyone has been there or knows anything about their aircraft?
also a while back i checked the caa website about the medicals in particular eyesight requirements and it said astigmatism up to 5 dioptres for class 2 and 2 dioptres for class 1. but now they appear to be the same. have i misread or have they changed it or is it a fault with their website?
cheers

They have four aircraft kept at Signature Aberdeen. 2 Cessna 152s, a Cessna 172 and a PA28 warrior. They train using the local area but also have an arrangement with Perth for circuits. So you get all the radio experience of flying at a bigger airport but also the experience of less restrictive airspace.
Aircraft are well maintained and well equipped. They have a pool of part time instructors who all have a lot of aviation experience.
If you've found Cabro online why not contact the owner Alan via their website?

As for your vision question Visual System GM | Medical | Personal Licences and Training is the current guidance. Best discussed with an AME for a Class 2 but if thinking you might go further with the flying training consider getting a Class 1 from the outset.
