IFR training:
Plymouth City Airport provides daily 45-minute IFR training slots for Flying Training Organisations and Private Pilots. CAA Flight Examiners also conduct Commercial and Instrument examinations at Plymouth.
The slots are of 45 minute duration and only one training aircraft is normally accepted at a time to maximise training time (although priority is given to scheduled aircraft in the normal way). Any number of IFR approaches can be made in the 45 minute period and the charge made is half the normal landing fee.
To book a slot, please call Plymouth ATC on 01752 515341.
