Our Story

23rd September, 2018. My wife-to-be, visiting me at flight school in Spain, is in the left hand seat of the school's DA42 simulator. I'm to her right, coaching her down the approach for her first ever landing. On profile, on the centreline, at approach speed - ideal. 

​

100ft. "Looking good", I say, " keep it coming down."

​

50ft. "Awesome. Keep descending, don't get ground shy."

​

30ft. "Get ready to flare."

​

20ft. "OK start to flare."

​

10ft. "Flare now."

​

5ft. "Flare!"

​

3ft. My (now only maybe) wife-to-be shouts: "What the **** is a flare?!"

​

Little did I know that six years later, this very word would become the inspiration for my flight training mentoring company, and this one interaction the basis for the business - to provide aspiring pilots with the relevant knowledge and skills before they need them...!
