Thoroughly enjoyable course, extremely well delivered on a one to one basis on a fantastic aircraft. Andy tailored the course to suit my needs while achieving all the required exercises. I left with a lot more confidence having experienced some very unusual attitudes – much more so than I had experienced in previous commercial or flight instructor courses. Andy’s ability to impart the knowledge to carry out the correct recovery techniques even after surprise upsets is very effective. I’d recommend this course to anyone flying generally, not just those moving onto larger aircraft.

Completed the advanced UPRT course with Andy last week. I couldn’t have asked for more! He made the lecture and flying parts of the course interesting and engaging. He was also very accommodating, and the aircraft is absolutely immaculate. It’s very clearly a well loved and looked after plane which was a joy to fly.
If you want to book a UPRT course, or just some aerobatics, look no further than this fantastic and professional outfit.

Andy tailored the course really well to my experience and was really flexible with fitting the course in around other commitments. The ground school and flying were both excellent and Andy was great to work with. I’d thoroughly recommend doing your UPRT here.
