Nympsfield employs a small number of professional
instructors (between
one and three depending on the time of year), but the majority of posts
are filled by club members volunteering their time. All
flying is
overseen by a "chief flying instructor" (CFI) - Chris Edwards.
Chris is supported by :
Full & Assistant Category Instructors
- Who are
able to cover all aspects of flying (certain checks and tests may
require a Full Category instructor),
Basic Instructors - Who carry out trial
lesson instruction
Cross country Instructors - Provide advanced two
seat instruction to qualified pilots
Every weekend and most Bank Holidays the club is run by volunteer
"teams" (see the Rota
page for details). During the week one or more of our professional
staff will be at the club.

instructing and operational experience. Dave will be organising mid
week flying (and lectures / discussions & chat when the
weather does not co-operate). If you want to do something special
please contact Dave via the office.
