An update from our successful candidate James Washington: ‘I am now approximately 9 hours in to my Stelios Disabled Pilots’ Scholarship, and enjoying every moment! I have settled on learning to fly mainly in a PA-28 and I am getting as many flights in as I can, working around our typical British weather! I have recently been practicing climbing and descending exercises with turns mixed in as well. There is so much information to take in and learn with both flying and all the books I need to read, which is quite daunting but I am enjoying the challenge! I can’t believe in such a short space of time how flying has positively impacted my life, and I am so incredibly grateful for this scholarship. I would encourage anyone with a disability to look up Aerobility and give flying a go with one of their experience flights, I can guarantee you will have a smile on your face at the end, and you never know where it may take you!’ Please go to www.airleague.co.uk for further information about their Scholarships.
