The best phone call that I ever made

For quite some time I have had the dream to get my PPL. But, due to business commitments and other circumstances I could not find the time to do the training or find the right training school and instructor.

However, following a search on the internet I came across the site NearlyHeaven and contacted Sue, and that was the best telephone call I have made so far in respect of flying.

Following my telephone conversation with Sue who was very friendly, warm, understanding and courteous, I immediately took the decision to do my training with Sue in France.

Well, doing my training with Sue has been a real pleasure. She was very active in using opportunities for me to extend my knowledge and skills. She was always keen and positive and that attitude transfers to you and with Sue next to you, it makes flying easy and enjoyable.

She has an excellent ability to discreetly pay attention to detail without making you nervous. She is observant, but at the same time she has the ability to communicate with you clearly and in a friendly manner. She is very good in anticipating your needs and I feel she has exceptional understanding of me or her students as individuals, as I have had the opportunity to sit at the back with fellow students.

Sue has this outstanding skill to gain our confidence and co-operation. Even when we do not do things correctly, she is always tactful and courteous and gives prompt and efficient professional assistance. In my view she is always calm and effective in all situations.

One of the key questions is why did  I particularly choose to learn to fly with Sue in France as opposed to doing my PPL in the UK. Well, given below are some of the reasons:

1. Flying in France and particularly with Sue who plans your flying lessons well, you have the freedom of the sky and you increase your knowledge and skills by the hour.
2. You can concentrate on real flying with minimum stress as there are hardly any restricted areas to worry about.
3. You do your radio in English and the staff at ATC are always understanding and patient knowing that you are a student pilot.
4. Believe it or not, on a number of occasions you would get priority over Ryanair or Air France.
5. You can do as many circuits and touch and go's as you wish at Limoges International Airport, there are no landing fees or anything extra fees to pay.
6. You get individual supervision, support and help from Sue at all times.
7. You do not have a different instructor for your lessons as Sue is your personal instructor from start to finish, which means there is continuity and a full understanding of your progress.
8. Learning to fly with Sue is also fun and no stress at all.

Sue, thanks to you now I have got my PPL, and I will enjoy flying for many years to come.
