✈️ Return flight opportunity

We’re planning to collect our newest aircraft from Liverpool tomorrow (a PA38) and are currently looking for someone who would be happy to fly it back.

We will have a pilot flying the Arrow down to Liverpool beforehand, who can drop you off ready for the return flight.

If this is something you’d be interested in, please let me know as soon as possible and we can start putting the necessary plans in place. We’re currently planning to leave early in the morning.

Do feel free to reach out if you have any questions in the meantime.

Many thanks,
Ben

Hour Building - weather delays

We have a number of PPL holders who are currently hour-building towards their commercial training.

Weather delays are unavoidable; particularly in Scotland at our bases in Glasgow, Cumbernauld, and Inverness.

The delays WERE causing worries with some committed to start dates on their training. We have a solution!

We currently have 5 Piper Tomahawk's which is our most popular aircraft for building hours. A 6th aircraft has now been confirmed and we are hopeful to have it online by the end of February.

We have also secured a 7th Piper Tomahawk subject to a satisfactory survey on the aircraft.

If you are looking for an hour building package in Scotland we can help. Our packages are available on a pay as you fly basis.
