- Issues with Your Flight School
Before you apply for a licence, you will need to complete a training course at a flight school. Courses are designed to train you for a specific licence. During your course, you will obtain the theoretical knowledge and skills needed and complete the flying time required for the licence. When you finish your training, you will be given all the docu...

Please note that the CAA is unable to recommend a flying school Here are some things for you to consider to help you make the right choices to achieve your aviation ambitions.

Costs
The CAA is unable to give advice on how much schools or training courses cost. You will need to contact the flying schools directly to ascertain this. Most flight schools advertise a complete price for the qualifications they offer and also a training rate by the hour.

Changing flying schools
If you find it's not the right fit for you, you are able to change your flying school. If you decide you want to change schools before you finish your training, you must ensure that your training records are transferred to your new school.
Dispute with a flying school
The CAA regulates the safety practices of training organisations. We are not an ombudsman service so are unable to intervene in personal issues or grievances. We recommend that you follow the complaints process at your flying school or contact Citizens Advice. If you have a concern over the safety practice of your school, you can report a potential breach of aviation law.
What to do if your training school ceases trading
In the event that your ATO/DTO ceases trading before your training is complete, it is important that your training records are secured and retained by an independent body. Unfortunately, the CAA does not hold individual's training records and therefore would be unable to assist in this situation. It is recommended that, in such circumstances; you contact the liquidator for a copy of your training records, or your instructor who may have kept your records. It is not recommended that you secure...
