Aero ground school: Remote support

During these unprecedented times  we want to continue to support our PPL students and other flying members.

This is why Cambridge Aero Club are delighted to offer remote support on your PPL and IR(R) theory via online booking. What’s more, you can now have as much time as you need on us – yes completely FREE!

We are acutely aware of how frustrating this hiatus is for students part way  through their training and will be doing our best to keep up some continuity.

Our expert Aero Ground School tutors are on hand to discuss any aspect of your training or course theory and to support your own self-study.

Booking in

30 minute appointments can be made by email at enquiries@cambridgeaeroclub.com or via our online booking form on Facebook.

If you require more in depth remote ground school please get in touch by email to discuss your options. Please also note we have all the study materials in stock. So, while practicable,  we are also happy to send out text books, charts, navigational planning equipment that you may need to support your theory knowledge needs.

Remember you can find our more about the theory side of both PPL and IR(R) training on our website!

Instrument training & the IR(R) this season

Are you planning on refreshing your flying skills this season?

The Cambridge Aero Club team of Instrument rated instructors are ready and waiting to guide you down the ILS to success!

The autumn and winter weather often brings poor visibility and layers of stratus and strato-cu cloud with good visibility on top, these are just the conditions in which an instrument qualification helps to keep you flying safely.

Cambridge Aero Club aircraft are ideally equipped for instrument training and our airport is ideal – with good lighting and excellent instrument approaches & ATC support, along with our team of dedicated Instructors and examiners that help to make flying “under the hood” a doddle!

Along with training pilots for the intital IR(R), (previously the IMC rating), and supporting through the groundschool element of the course, we are pleased to offer bespoke recurrency training for the renewal or revalidation of the full IR, and our newest course on offer, the CBIR – please ask a member of the team for details and a personal assessment to assist with scheduling and an action plan.

Our instrument training rates are inclusive of all ILS/NDB & GPS approaches here at Cambridge, when using our C172 fleet.

Both Ed and Alan have excellent availability throughout January and February.

For more information regarding all of our training courses can be found on our website, or by calling us on 01223 373717 or emailing us @ reception@cambridgeaeroclub.com
