New: DVD - Just what you've been waiting for...!

You know you don't fly often enough, you know how rusty you feel! For 10 years I've been derusting pilots after lay-offs and most of them show the same mistakes, forget the same things, etc. This DVD can be watched before you go flying, and you can see (and recognise) the rust! Pre-flight planning tips too. If owning and watching this DVD can save you just 15 minutes of de-rusting time once at today's rental prices, it will more than worth it.

"PPL? It's a licence to learn...."
So what do you suppose that means...?
"You learn from your mistakes...."

Well, that's NOT the way it has to be any more...

Seminars in a "PPL Masterclass" style

  • avoid many 'learn by mistakes' pitfalls
  • rectify embedded confusion
  • boost self confidence and safety
  • meet like-minded flying companions - team up with local pilots for cheaper more relaxed flying.
It's a day loved by UK pilots, but it's twice the value for ones trained abroad.
