CPL Coaching/hours-building with Tayside Aviation
Hello all, thought I'd ask for some opinions here.
Almost at the end of my PPL course now, and looking at options for hour-building. Unfortunately full-time employment rules out any trips abroad, so looking to do it all here over the next 18 months or so while I do ATPL distance-learning.
Have heard some very good reports about Tayside Aviation, was looking at their website and noticed that they do CPL coaching/hours building from £90/hour; conditions apply, obviously. Has anyone done this with Tayside? If so was it worth it?
I think I'll send them an e-mail to enquire, however I'd like to hear opinions from anyone who's done this with Tayside as well. Just doing a bit of research first.
P.S. Was looking at Bristol for ATPL distance-learning, one of my instructors recommended it... anyone else think this is a good idea?
Any comments welcome.
Regards
Smithy

Hey Smithy,
Glad to see things at EFC are going well! The other option is to get a share in an a/c, it may well turn out to be cheaper! Great experience as well. It sounds like you have it covered but don't just beat around Fife in NU! Make sure that you expand your experiences. Fly down to London, the Isle of Wight, France etc.
I really should pop back into EFC at somepoint, it would be good to catch up with everyone again!

Cheers Rugbyears.
Hello again Blinkz, how are you doing? I had a look in getting a share in an aircraft but I'm not sure how things would work out financially if something got pranged or the engine went bang, which put me off somewhat, because I'd need to find a sizeable amount of dough from somewhere(!), but I'm still considering it as another option.
Want to do a few trips around e.g. to the Western Isles and further Up North but will wait and see if the weather is kind enough for that.
