Congratulations!

Many congratulations to Rob Noble-Warren of Buryas Bridge!

He passed his Skills Test in G-OCPC on Saturday and now is a qualified Pilot. Though too early to get any photographs up we are very pleased Rob has got to the end of his training and is now a fully trained PPL holder! It was quite an achievement as Rob also balances flight training with an extremely busy wealth-planning business at the same time.

Well done!

Bright sunshine today and for the rest of the week. Wonderful!

Now is the time to book to come in and fly - clear and crisp weather so visibility is excellent. The only fly in the ointment for today is that the runway is currently waterlogged.

Seems we have had this weeks rain last night.

New Aeroplane in the Hangar!

Congratulations to Paul Osborne who has now bought a Piper Cherokee to exercise his new NPPL licence. It is a white 1966 180 and has the registration G-AVNS. Quite good condition!

It is in the hangar at Land's End at the moment but gives Paul the flexibility to get from St Mary's on the Isles of Scilly (where he lives) to the mainland a lot easier.

The aircraft was supplied by Just Plane Trading, who have been excellent and we can wholeheartedly recommend them - they have been very helpful, flexible and all you could possibly expect from an aircraft trader.

First Post of the Year

Even though it is January there has been a lot going on here - lots of flying and groundschool - so it has taken until now for our first post of the year.

Happy New Year then to all!

We have been busy already - well done to Graham Osborne who passed the written communications exam just after Christmas. He then went to Cardiff a few days ago to take his oral exam which he passed comfortably! Congratulations to him on passing as he has put quite a sizeable amount of work into his studying for these.

Also congratulations to Reggie (Les) Allen pictured above who has also just flown his first solo flight. This is quite an achievement in January with many distractions and interesting weather challenges.

He is also pictured receiving his First Solo certificate from our Chief Flying Instructor, Mark Hillier.
