Very hesitant to even do this flight as it was a gift from my husband but I was made to feel comfortable which relaxed me enough to enjoy the experience. The pilot Dale was very patient with me and taught me quite a lot in the 30 mins we had.
Great pilot.

Good value for money/affordable flying.

After not doing very much flying over the past year due to Covid_19 restrictions I did a check ride in a Cessna 150 and joined YAC the other week to get back into some GA flying. The club seems well organised has enough available aircraft in it's fleet and represents good value for money/affordable and simplistic GA flying.

Great to hear that you're getting back in the air after the restrictions of late have grounded pilots.

We aim to provide value for money so we're happy to learn that you think so too.

Look forward to seeing you at the club again soon.

A good experience as a new member

A good experience as a new member. Verbal and e-mail communication was good. Booking was arranged promptly and check flight done with minimum of fuss. Good quality C172 aircraft. All good. No complaints and looking forward to using my new membership.

Amazingly warm reception and fantastic flight.

Needed to revalidate my licence and went to YAC at Santoft and was extremely warmly welcomed and my first flight with Dale was so relaxed. Really looking forward to the next flight in a few days time.

Quick decision to revalidate my lapsed PPL(A) and called in to see the flying instructor team.
Quick chat for half an hour and booked in for the next day.
Professional, helpful, expedient service with plenty of access to aircraft. I flew with Dale who is extremely competent and great to fly with.
Not saying where, but I tried this previously with other schools and was completely used as a money making tool....no validation completion.....despite being sent solo again. However, YAC is completely different and within two weeks, my PPL will be live again.
Looking forward to continuing flying from Sandtoft thereafter.
Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent flying club with very professional staff/instructors. I Highly recommend YAC to anyone looking to fly for an experience day or to gain their own wings! All of the instructors are very friendly & accommodating and will work hard to meet your own personal requirements!
