Westair Flying School currently operate two DA40NG and one DA50 aircraft on our fleet, giving you unrivalled access to some of most modern, safe and capable aircraft around and are particularly well suited to advanced flying courses.

Instrument Rating Restricted (IR(R))
Our DA40 aircraft are the perfect option if you are looking for an aircraft to complete the IRR. Both aircraft are equipped with Garmin G1000 avionics, making instrument flying a breeze thanks to the user-friendly interface and situational awareness available to the pilot. Operating from Blackpool Airport gives us easy access to uncontrolled airspace and a range of instrument approaches for effective training.
