I'm now (at last) on the final leg of the TK for the CB-IR and looking at possible training schools to do the (fun part!) flying training...

I've been researching PAT in Bournemouth, Rate One in Gloucester and Booker Aviation at Wycombe Air Park. All three seem good places but I wonder if anyone has any thoughts/recommendations for any of these schools? They each have advantages and disadvantages but it's a challenge to decide which one to spend my cash on!

Any help most gratefully received...

Using your own aircraft or a school owned machine?

[stodge]

Own aircraft, six pack but with all the right gizmos. All three schools are fine with that.

Command at Coventry are good if you're prepared to go that far North - not too far from Gloucester.

I'm just getting through the TK and will be starting mine shortly and with IMC and a number of hours actual and simulated (foggles) will in theory only need final 10 hours hopefully in own aircraft (although expect will take more) at an ATO. I see Cambridge has also started offering CBIR too so may give them a try

There is quite a long thread on CBM-IR schools in the Student section of this forum.

This is the CB-IR thread that David Wood refers to. In addition to listing most (but not all) of the approved course providers, it has a few write-ups (including his own) from those who have done the course.

I did the CBM-IR ATO bit at Booker.

They couldn't have been more helpful and obliging if they tried.

That's interesting. Do you know which school at Cambridge is offering the CBIR?

Cambridge Aero Club

Hi Stodge / all.

What TK provider did you use, would you recommend?

Thanks.
