Fantaatic place to learn how to fly. Less traffic means more time in the air, and the instructors really know their stuff. Aircraft are all really well maintained, and prices are super competitive. Also, you have the backdrop of the mountains whenever you're training - absolutely beautiful!

To hire theyre aircraft you will need to do a flight check every 90 days. Not necessary. A money spin.
Friendly staff but lack giving correct information.
If i had to do a flight check every 3 months for all the aircraft i hire from various airports/airfields i wouldnt have any money left to fly solo.
I can understand an initial check to see if a pilot is proficient , but every 3 months is unnecessary.

We had a lovely time at the airport. There was an air show being held and it was a spectacular event . There were enough activities for everyone to participate in activities for children such as face painting jumping castles. For the adults and families there were facilities enough for everybody and plenty of food available.

I booked it in for my first flying lesson 2:30. The people sounded really nice!!
They were also very helpful and I havn't even flown yet!
I have flown now and all I can say is they're very helpful as I have only 20% of my hearing the pilot had plenty of time for me and was very helpful and freindly, Five Stars +
