Flying Instructors |
| Gerald Todd heads the dedicated team of professional flight instructors, averaging 1,500 hours of instruction. All flight training is on a one-to-one basis and conducted simultaneously with the academic side (ground school). Having your own instructor throughout the course and following a structured personal programme gives you the best chance of achieving your objective. We assess the progress of all our students on a daily basis to ensure that you advance in accordance with the flight training schedule. Your instructor will tell you that, while the courses are immense fun, they are hard work. Flying, whether for fun or as a career, requires discipline and a responsible attitude. It is therefore important that students conduct themselves in a manner befitting Professional Pilot status. |
