Has anyone had any experience of Leeds Flying School. I was thinking about using them in the new year for IR Training.
Post replies on here or e-mail I don`t mind which.
Cheers

Post replies here preferably, as this is what the forum is for surely?
I am also thinking about Leeds Flying Club. The other optios being Triple A at Humberside, Frank Morgan's or Multiflight.
Please discuss....

Done a IR renewal at LFS, very proffessional outfit, dont be put off that they are off the airfield in a portacabin. never heard a bad report about AAA either. however EGNM is an examiner base so you would do well to fly from the base that you will be doing the test from IMHO.

Whos Frank Morgan ????
Im sure if you do a search you will find some more on LFS. I was there in 2001. The instructors there are excellent and the school has a great atmosphere. I finished my IR in less than a month and had an airline offer 5 weeks later. Definately drop in and say hello to the guys.

Definately a top-notch school, did my CPL & IR modules there this Summer. Really friendly place, Kev and Tony will see you through the IR no sweat and they put in the hours to get it done on time and on (your) budget.
As MAX said, definately drop in and see them.

I was there Feb 2002. Had a great time, very laid back but professional. I did my IR there and was ready for test in just over a week! But I was on the old system of Training as required! The Sim is almost identical to the aircraft as long as you are doing it on the Cougar, which is a lovely aircraft. I have not a bad thing to say.
Don't be put off by the cabins, they are a warm bunch of guys and you wont feel pressurissed there or overwhelmed which makes you learn alot quicker.
Have a fun time, the IR is a great rating to do!

Top school! Kev Rowell got me a first time pass in the IR with min hours.
Watch out for that Jarvo bloke,(JAFA), send em all back home I say.
Oh, and yes, the ex-fireman instructor suffers from air rage, love from your brother Phil!!

You'll keep Speight! I've just come back to find my Yorkshire roots. At least my ancestors aren't from Tellytubbyland.
Hope the meatbombs haven't blown away in your turbine propwash.

Kev Rowell got me through non-approved IR on my budget (£5000), in around 16 hours flying before test.
The sim is identical to the a/c (Cougar) as has been mentioned. There was a problem with a/c availability when I was there, i.e. only one IR-approved twin, which was forever going tech, but I believe that there are now more aircraft available.
Very relaxed place, CAAFU examiner on the airfield, and above all LFS are very cheap!
