"I just heard today. I applied for a scholarship with GAPAN for
JOC training and am one of the lucky two that got it. It's for the
MCC and JOC out in the Netherlands with EPST. So fingers crossed it
all goes well. Just like to say a big thank you to BFC while I'm writing
to you.
Roy asked me on the last day if BFC could've done better for me or
what you could have improved on. It's really great to say that 4 weeks
after leaving I still cannot think of anything. You all made it a
great experience and I'm sure I'll be back for the IR renewal in the
future".

"My name is Martin Nicholls, I'm 25
years old, from a small town called Haverfordwest, which is in South
West Wales.
Upon passing the last of my JAA Theoretical Exams in October 2004,
I decided to start calling various Flight Training Companies in the
beginning of 2005, before the better flying weather started. I phoned
various companies, but the one that really stood out was Bristol Flying
Centre, speaking to Katie Rees made me realise how helpful and accommodating
the personnel at Bristol were going to be. Acting on Katie's advice
I turned up in Bristol to check the place out and meet some instructors.
The building itself was very modern, clean, tidy and the atmosphere
was very pleasant and helpful. Seeing the current students talking
together, and meeting instructors who were very knowledgeable, made
me realise Bristol Flying Centre was definitely the best choice.
For my IR training I was allocated Tony Gould, Chief Flying Instructor,
to take me through the course and prepare me for test. Other students
had remarked how strict he is in his training, but to my surprise
I found Tony Gould to be a really nice guy, and an ace instructor
too! Tony will tell you all your faults, but he also tells you what
you're good at, so you don't need to concentrate on those things so
much. I found Tony's methods to be excellent, and with his training
I passed my Instrument Rating Test with a Full first time Pass, and
in the Minimum hours.
To my joy I passed my Commercial Pilots Test with a Full first time
Pass, also in the Minimum hours. I still can't believe I passed the
Multi, IR and CPL all first time.
I would like to thank all the instructors that assisted me through
the course, and all the staff at Bristol Flying Centre for everything
being geared to my needs.
If you're thinking of Flight Training my advice is give Bristol Flying
Centre a call and just have a chat with them first before you make
any decisions."

"I chose Bristol Flying Centre for my
MEP, IR and CPL because I felt that it could offer a good friendly
atmosphere between students, instructors and staff and a high standard
of training. I was not disappointed. I enjoyed every minute of my
time there. All the instructors and staff were very helpful and the
training was to a very high standard and delivered in a well-structured
and professional manner. Time on the ground was not wasted due to
the sociable environment amongst the students, ideal for sharing ideas
and experiences and some good banter. I would thoroughly recommend
Bristol Flying Centre."

"I have just completed my MEP I/R &
CPL at Bristol and have enjoyed every minute of it. I was looking
for a modular school that offered a good training course along with
a high pass rate, and I found Bristol Flying Centre could offer both.
Both of their simulators are just as realistic as the aircraft which
made the transition from sim to aircraft so much easier, and all of
their instructors are focused on getting you through the course and
show 100% commitment to their student. I had a very good time at Bristol
meeting new people and passing my IR and CPL and whatever happens
with my future career I will owe a lot to Bristol Flying Centre."

"I would like to say a big thank you
to all the staff at Bristol Flying Centre for getting me through my
CPL/IR. The facilities and aircraft are excellent, the instructors
are friendly, professional and teach to a very high standard also
the help and morale support was enormous. Again a big thank you to
everyone involved, I can't recommend Bristol Flying Centre enough!"

"I have done my CPL, IR and Multi with
Bristol Flying Centre, and thoroughly enjoyed it. You are probably
in the process of finding a decent school after you've finished your
atpl exams and don't know where to go. I chose BFC after I visited
them and I found the premises excellent the staff very friendly, as
well as a very good professional approach to training. It is tough
work, there's nothing new here, sometimes you feel like you've gone
through the mincer, the nice thing though is that there will always
be someone to help you out if you're struggling.
I hope this helps and good luck."

"I just passed the selection process
for Air Berlin, concluding in an interview with the head of training
and the chief pilot on Friday. There was a complete assessment with
sim screening 3 weeks prior to the interview. I am very excited to
say that my type rating for the A320 starts on the 17th July and I
still can't quite believe it".
