Soloflight at Humberside
I am thinking of doing a FAA IR at soloflight Humberside,I would be grateful for coments from students and ex instructors if this is a good FTO and good value for money?

I did my PPL there in '96. It was run then by Glen & Mel Stewart; I think Mel is still running things there now.
I had a great time and have no complaints whatsoever, very professional yet with a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Standard of instruction was very high, was often invited to sit in the back of Multi/IR trips to learn a thing of it (which they didn't have to do obviously...but that was the spirit of the place). I still to this day regularly remember Glen's words of wisdom in my headset. He is sorely missed by all those who knew him. |
i did my faa/h instrument ratim there great place

Soloflight are as good as anyone and they're certainly worth a try, although it's worth shopping around, there is another outfit at HUY who do IR's - The Humber Flying Club 01652 688746 www.humberflyingclub.co.uk, they have a very high success rate and do exactly what it says on the tin.
Good luck.:ok: |
I'm planning on using SoloFlight for some FAA IR stuff in the near future. I've heard some very positive reports of them.

I did my UAS->PPL conversion with Glen & crew in 1996. I have never met niknak but from my perspective his comments about Glen are 100% spot on. I had a great time at Soloflight and learnt much more about flying than I was required to in order to get a PPL.

Faa Ir
I'm also planning to do my FAA IR.
I would also be grateful to hear from any past students. Thanks |
I flew with GS many times and (unlike other instructors at other FTO's I have flown with since) there wasn't even a hint of dangerous flying/rule breaking with GS in the RHS.

Do the POM group do FAA work?, nothing to that effect on their website.

I'm doing my PPL with Soloflight, granted I only have 2 hours logged but so far so good! :D - My instructor is Stuart, good chap and his level of instruction is a lot more than I expected!
I don't have any negatives about the place or people. |
