Five bursaries of £1,500 are being offered to support young post-solo student pilots to help them complete their courses.
The 2022 Armstrong-Isaacs PPL bursary scheme run by the Light Aircraft Association (LAA) is open to student pilots under 30 years of age. The funds will be lodged with the flying school of winners’ choices and must be used exclusively for flying training or flight examinations.
To qualify, a pilot should be under 30, have completed a minimum of two hours solo training and have gained the necessary medical and ground qualifications to continue their training.
The Armstrong-Isaac’s fund is supported by legacies from former Association luminaries David Armstrong and John Isaacs. The bursaries support young pilots who have reached the financially challenging latter stages of PPL training, with longer cross-country flights requiring greater outlay in aircraft rental costs.
Applicants should complete a form which can be downloaded from the LAA website. Applications must be lodged with the LAA by 31 December 2022.
