A tesimonial from a past student.
On my way back to Heathrow I somehow couldn’t believe that all of this really happened. But it did, and I am extremely happy how everything turned out. Far beyond my expectations! It’s good to know there are people out there who make you feel confident and make things possible. Too many people in aviation just know standard procedures. Sometimes even people who should know better!
I already recommended your flight school to two other people. They might be interested in a FAA PPL conversion as well, sometime this or next year.
David is a great instructor. I went flying with some colleagues yesterday. I did the smoothest landing ever by just following his advise (be more gentle on the controls). Too many young flight instructors teach pilots to fly small airplanes “by the numbers”, which is wrong, I believe. I would definetly like to come back for some more training.
