Hello there,

Any suggestion and/or advices are really appreciated

What sort of flying are you looking to do?

For PPL there's Seawing at Southend, or for CPL/IR there's Stapleford Flight Centre.

For me private flying only.
You mention Southend seawing flying club. Have you been trained there?
Have you had any experience with them?
I went there to ask some infos but it seems to me they are not really " professional" ..
I took some brochure with all explanations of prices and course and found lot of mistakes..and sometimes confusional..I saw their fleet they have 1 cessna 152 only and a couple of pa 28...
I don't know if I can trust them...
Any advices are really appreciated.

Andrewsfield is a very friendly place, a number of highly experienced instructors operating out of their own airfield so no delays waiting for lots of traffic.

I didn't train there but fly a group owned aircraft from the airfield and what I observe would allow me to suggest it as a good place to learn to my family if they wished to take lessons.

Doro,

Did you mean Southend Flying Club? Seawing is another club; they have several 152s, 172 and share aircraft. I did not train at Seawing but the instructor that taught me now works there and I have since flown with other instructors there, hence why I am recommending them. They are very professional and 'flying club' orientated. From your description that doesn't sound like you went to Seawing.

Alexx83 I am at BCFT now, just finishing my ATPL ground exams! When did you do your CPL?
