PPL training at Barton airfield
Hi everyone,
I’m thinking about training for my PPL in the summer and as I’m based near Oldham was looking at Barton Aerodrome (although by no means set on to it).
There’s a few flight schools ant Barton and I was wondering if anyone has any experience / recommendations of which to use?
I’m planning to visit each, ask my own questions and get a feel for them, but a word of mouth recommendation always adds a bit of comfort / confidence too.
And don’t worry.. after reading a few posts here, I won’t be paying up front! 😁
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Having had a 51 year flying connection with Barton I have every confidence you will get a warm welcome at LAC flying school.

I know many of the instructors there and I’m happy to recommend them
