At SkyTime Flight Training our qualified and friendly instructors will take you through the full course at a pace that you're comfortable with. We have a fleet of aircraft consisting of Cessna 172, Piper PA28 Warrior and an Evektor Eurostar.

There are some flying restrictions with this licence, but it is a cheaper option. The licence is for in use in UK airspace, and it is restricted to VFR flights (Visual Flight Rules). This means that the licence holder cannot fly at night or in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) - Bad Weather.
