PPL Training In East Yorkshire
 

HI,

I am considering starting PPL Training in the new year and would like some help on picking a good flying school near by.

If any one has any knowledge of the the area and/or has trained around here can you please give me some advice.

Thanks

Nice, friendly bunch.

I believe there is also training available at Breighton these days.

Training
 

The chaps at Beverley always seem nice when I'm there, Sandtoft is maybe a bit far for you and again Ray Price seems a top bloke, failing that there is sherburn in elmet where I fly from is spot on too, Ive never had any instruction at Beverley or Sandtoft but I can vouch for the instructors at Sherbs, well the two I had during my training anyway! Why not have a drive around them all one day and chat to the CFI? See how you feel in the atmosphere as they all seem different. You want to feel at ease as you will be spending a few bob there.

Cheers, Jim:ok:

Full Sutton?

Where in East Yorkshire?
 

I would recommend York Flying School at Breighton. They have people who come from Lancashire and South Yorkshire to learn to fly there, as they are reasonably priced and don't believe in ripping anyone off. If Breighton is on your doorstep (you don't say where in E Yorks you are) then it would definitely be worth you having a look.
Also, with Breighton not having any controlled airspace or landing fees etc, you're not getting messed around leaving/entering a zone or MATZ each sortie. You can just take-off, climb out and get on with learning to fly.

I live in beverley but ended up choosing Frank Morgans Flyings school at Humberside Airport.

Yes it further afield and yes you have to pay the bridge crossing but its a great school and also you get the experience of a larger airfield whilst still doing alot of your training from Linley Hill (Beverley) airfield

Choosing your instructor is as important as the school. The larger the outfit, the more likely you are to have a mixture of instructors.

You will not do better than Cas Smith at Full Sutton.

EGCF Sandtoft, give this some thought.

My vote goes to Breighton and York flying school nice lot of instructors and really friendly airfield

MY son is training there now

I revalidated at Full Sutton a few years ago and would thoroughly recommend it. Agree with post above re Cas Smith, he's one of the nicest folk I've met in aviation.

Thanks for all the advice, I am actually going over to breighton next Sunday to meet with the cfi of York flying school! I'll keep you posted with how it goes!

Another vote for York Flying School. I'm currently doing my PPL with them, can't recommend them highly enough.
