Airfield/training status (as of 03/02/12 at 09:27):
NIGHT FLYING - next scheduled evening is Thursday 9th February 2012, subject the weather and Claire getting her paperwork back from the CAA. If you have never flown yourself at night I would thoroughly recommend it as the views and experience are second to none. Why not buddy up with a colleague and share the cost ? Simply book as normal into the blue squares on the system remembering to select the Cessna 172 instead of an AT3. Remember, it is one of the easiest qualifications to get involving only five hours of flying with no exams or tests at the end. Time spent night flying also counts towards your hours if you are part way through your PPL.
G-ZACE Some of you are opting to fly the Cessna as you near the end of your licence training. The aeroplane has four seats and as part of your conversion it is important you feel what the aircraft is like with three extra seats filled. It would therefore make sense for those of you planning to fly over the next few weeks to contact others at the school to do just that. This will provide a double exposure to how the Cessna operates and of course, if you are sitting in the back will not cost you a penny. Current students opting to fly the Cessna are Alan Worrel, Lynn Ormerod, Robert Reid, Gary Woolridge, Robert Simpson & Tim Bott. It is of course courteous to get the permission of the student flying before they themselves find you sitting in the back and also check with your Instructor too.
Happy flying as always.

BROOKLANDS Flying Club provides pilot training to the highest standards as a
Civil Aviation Authority Registered Training Facility. Located on the historic
Sywell Aerodrome, itself in the pretty rolling countryside midway between Northampton
and Wellingborough, the brand new clubhouse overlooks the airfield and all its
activity.
Inside are attractive spacious classrooms, lecture rooms, and radio booths fitted
out with every up to date facility required to train you for your pilots licence. Next
door is the Pilots Mess, the themed airfield cafe for pilots, passengers and those accompanying
their friends and family taking trial flights.
Outside to the front lies our own grass airfield, licensed by the CAA for training and
to the rear the hangar for our aircraft.
We are here to train you for a Private Pilots Licence and if you already have your
licence we offer the Night Qualification, IMC rating and aircraft for you to hire.
We also offer Tiger Moth trial flights, and where better to enjoy this classic vintage trainer
than from a grass aerodrome that first saw Tiger Moths being used to train pilots back in 1932?
A great sport for some... a great career path for others
