FTO CAA Registration
Hi All
Im well underway with my PPL training and have made a substantial dint in ground school, thanks to what seems to be an unending torrent of depressingly poor (yet predictable) weather. I fly from a very nice small and local school with only 2 aircraft and 1 instructor. Im just wondering if the is any way of checking the credentials of the FTO to which I am handing over substantial amounts of money to? I have thoroughly trawled through PPRuNe, other forums and the incredibly badly organised CAA 'website'. Surely there is a database out there similar to G-INFO which tells me everything is hunky-dory and nothing to worry about or indeed distract me from the wonderful Air Law & Meteorology - god forbid!

Read the note headed "Finance" in the document referenced above.

If I wanted to know about the financial position of an RF or FTO, I would simply go to the Companies House and take a look at the records there.

Thanks for the help folks.... to answer Gertrude's question; I pay as I go and pay cash for each lesson as the hour is added to my logbook. Have no qualms about my FTO/School/Instructor at all. Everything is very nice and friendly but no harm making sure as in this industry when **** hits the fan there's not much you can do!
Thanks again. |
