Post Triple A Flying (Humberside)

I was considering doing the old Non-Approved IR at Triple A (among other establishments), and was wondering if anybody out there had any previous experience and/or comments about the place.

Thanks

Don't know about AAA. I did my single engine IR at professional Air Training Bournemouth and can recommend them. I flew in their Beech 24R Sierra. They also offer multi in Beech Duchess. Probably not the cheapest.

SE,

One of the good things about training @ EGNJ is that both ILS & NDB approaches are available on field & resident FTOs like Triple A usually have discounts for these approaches.

Another good thing is that it's far from any busy airspace : no slots, no traffic to delay your training or keep U on the ground.

However, Triple A has some of the most expensive hourly rates in the market :
£165 for SE
£210 for complex SE
£300 for the BE76 (Duchess) they use for the IR.
Dunno about the instructors.

If U wanna stick to EGNJ, consider also HFC or the Frank Morgan school of flying (depends what kinda training U're looking for).

In Triple A's defense, when I spoke to them, they where the most helpfull of anyone to whome I spoke. Free advice, and it was obvious to me that they where not simply after my cash.

I would consider them, but it's just too far from where I live, and if you read my previous posting on Part time IR's you'll understand where I'm comming from.

Frank Morgan are PPL/IMC only - use to do AFIC no more, never done IRs

HFC have no twin of their own they hire it in for fixed perods from Tatenhill so if the Wx goes pear shaped it could be a problem
Not deiced PA44

AAA have their own twin but it aint cheap
but where is? own frasca deiced Duchess

Leeds Flying School is at the test centre
- no approved sim as yet but in pipeline
cheap no repositioning relatively new to IRTs
