I’ve counted up the number of instructors in my logbook recently. By the time I got to the 10 hours recorded point, I realised that I have had 11 instructors! In hindsight, perhaps not the best start to my aviation career. Heck, I sure learned that there is more than one way of doing the same thing when it comes to Airplanes and Aeroplanes :-) I also started to count the number of Pilot Training Schools I had visited, and was soon up in to double figures. So why is this important. We I’m not an instructor trying to sell you a course at my school, I’m a pilot who has experienced most of the right ways and most of the wrong was to teach someone about flying. So where have I trained. A flex Wing Microlight school operating off an olf Cricket Pitch A disused airfield, converted into a Dragster racing strip, with a part time 3 axis microlight school. A busy metropolitan airport with full Air Traffic Services, controlled airspace and lots of High Visibilty Jackets a Hundred acres of grass in the middle of an old WWII disused airfield (and I have hay fever, a bad mistake!) An old Army Training Camp in the middle of nowhere used by Air Cadet force at the weekend A fully operational milatary airbase complete with fast jet movements whilst I was trying to land a small propellor driven two seater. One of the smallest grass strips you could imagine, where any form of emergency not returning to the strip would result in a nasty crash. So, I’ve been around a bit, bought lots of avitation related stuff, trained with a complete spectrum of pilots, so I hope that this viewpoint will help you when you are choosing which Pilot Training School is right for you .
