'Where are your Fast Track courses held ’?
Our courses are run at our brand new training centre in the beautiful spa town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. There are good rail and motorway links and our closest airport is only 15 mins by taxi. The courses are delivered in comfortable, modern conference suites. Tea, Coffee and other refreshments are available.
'I live at the other end of the country, is there accommodation nearby ’?
There are a number of very nice local B & Bs or very up-market hotels within 5 mins of our training centre. You will also be spoilt for choice with pubs, restaurants and theatre, all on our door-step. Please contact us for a comprehensive list of hotels, eateries and nearby attractions.
‘How far in advance do i need to book '?
We do not normally require more than two weeks notice to book a course. Early spring throughout summer tends to be our busiest period and it is advisable to book as soon as you know you are able to take the time off work/family to come and see us. If you find that you have some free time at short notice, then just give us a call anyway, we may be able to fit you in.
‘I have a disability, what provisions are made'?
We make every effort to accommodate students with disabilities. All entrances and elevators (when used), toilets and refreshment areas are designed for wheelchair access. If you have any special requirements, please contact us so that suitable arrangements can be made.
Flight Training Courses
‘What is Fast Track'?
Fast Track simply means that the course is undertaken on a more intensive basis. These courses are primarily designed for those short of time, which lets face it, is most of us! The Fast Track PPL courses are designed to last approximately 21 days. Typical start and finish times are 9.30am to 4.00pm with a morning, lunch and afternoon break. You can expect to fly from 3 to 5 hours per day. Other options are available. Perhaps you have started a course elsewhere and wish to complete it.
‘I thought these courses could only be done in America, what about the horrible English weather ’?
Our motto is: "If you're going to fly in England, learn in England". Yes we do have days of inclement weather, but very rarely do we have days when you cannot fly at all. This may mean that you have to show up to fly earlier one day or stay a little later, either way we'll get you finished. It is far better to have a taste of flying in inclement weather whilst sat next to your instructor, rather than have got your PPL in the states in beautiful weather, only to come back and frighten yourself silly when your caught out with low visibility, rain or a crosswind on landing!
‘Would it be cheaper for me to go to America and do this course ’?
When perusing the glossy ads in Pilot magazine it might seem so. Now add in the cost of return airfares, time and money spent on visas for flight trainin and licence conversion if necessary. When you return your local flying school will almost certainly insist on some further training to acquaint you with british ATC procedures and flying in our ever changing weather! This can all add up to a considerable amount of money and frequently ends up costing more than it would have to train here.
‘Are your courses run on a one to one basis ’?
Absolutely. We guarantee you one instructor and one aircraft for your sole use for the duration of your course. This saves valuable time as you do not have to get used to learning the differences between one aircrfat and the next.
