advice on ppl in notrhwest england
I want to complete my PPL before the end of summer 2011. I want to do the ground school asap around the Liverpool area. Does anyone know where is the best place to go to sit the tests? Is there anyone around this area who has recentl done these tests and where did you complete your practical tests?
Any responses are appreciated. Thanks |

thanks for them, are you local to liverpool? if so did you attend any of these flight schools?
|
I worked at Ravenair and still fly from there every so often, and I have friends who work at MerseyFlight, both do what your looking for, just which one you feel comfortable with, worth a visit cup of tea and a chat at both...LFS I cant speak for as have never had dealings with them, but they seem a friendly bunch.
|
going to go on Sunday have a word with all 3 so thanks for that, im assuming they will no were i could have my medical too
|
Yep they can advise on the medical, I can recommend a Dr based in Maghull if you need a class 2. Will PM the details to you
|
I take it you have ruled out fixed wing microlights, so much cheaper.

that is 1 sweet video, must be 1 hell of a feeling being so exposed, have you been doing it long?:):)
|
Around 6 years now, yes it is real seat of the pants stuff....not the most sexy of aircraft I know but you really need to try it to appreciate them....and so affordable.

Flight Academy Blackpool. You can't beat them on value for money, quality of instruction and quality of their airplanes.
|
Nice video Nick, Iv seen it before when surfing youtube..
How was ATC at Liverpool when asking for a zone transit? I find them as helpful as they can be most of the time. I recommend Liverpool Flying School, Id try and stick with 1 instructor and commit yourself to certain days to keep it regular. Good luck |
ATC at Liverpool...they where fine Chris even though I don't have a transponder....I agree a very friendly helpful bunch.
