Painting starting today on IY. There has been a significant amount of time in preparation and we have taken the time to review some of the previous maintenance on the aircraft.

With our own maintenance we are confident of getting her back online before the month end.

Next in line is LP with the engine due back in the next few weeks.

We have another engineer joining our team this week ensuring we have the capacity for 3rd party work. If you are looking to review your maintenance please get in contact. We offer
Transparent servicing at competitive prices. Work is agreed in advance and we provide full documentation for any work done including parts list and certificates.

We are also pleased to confirm Jagroop and Stuart returning to our instructor team after a break for training. This will provide more availability at our Glasgow and Cumbernauld bases.

If you are considering starting your training or reviewing your current training contact us for competitive pricing and good availability.

It has been another very busy week.

Unfortunately to the point we have ran out of fuel at Glasgow?!

Delivery is due at the start of the week but huge thanks to our neighbours Glasgow Flying Club for their kind support meanwhile.

We are still keen to add instructors to our teams at Glasgow, Cumbernauld, and Easter Airfield.

We have plenty of flying to do and the weather is now also onside.
