SkySchool UK

SkySchool runs the following courses near Mere, Wiltshire in July and Banbury, Oxfordshire in August:

• Taster Courses: 1 or 2 days (Enjoy an action packed weekend)
• Beginner Course: 6 days (Gets most people flying at least once)

We do not run 6 day Intermediate courses in the UK as the weather is not consistent enough. We strongly recommend those looking to attain the full APPI PPG Pilot license to complete their Intermediate course in Italy or the UAE.

1. Taster Courses: Open Sky Level

The Taster Courses are designed for complete beginners and follow the first few days of the APPI PPG syllabus. They take place over weekends and are designed to give students a good understanding of the sport, allowing them to decide whether they wish to sit the longer courses. The 1 day course costs £175 and the 2 day course costs £275. You can book a Taster Course through the Shop or for further info contact us.

2. Beginner Course: Adventure Pilot Level

The Beginner Course is the first half of the APPI PPG syllabus and designed for complete beginners. Training consists of ground handling, motor usage instruction, basic lectures and normally culminates in at least 1 solo flight. At the end students can advance onto the 6 day Intermediate Course in either Italy or UAE. The 6 day Beginner Course costs £845 with all kit, fuel and log books included.
