Study / Aviation for non-Polish in Poland [11]
I went for a fly in Bydgoszcz recently, was a bit of a struggle with the language, and i did not do the radio as that was all done in Polish, but i'm sure in future the tower will speak English for me.
There was a really nice girl there whose English was really good, unfortunately i forgot her name, i can't even remember where she usually flies, either wroclaw or maybe more likely wloclawek.
So i would be interested to hear how you get on.
This will be of limited use to you not speaking Polish h t tp://w w w.aeroklub.wroc.pl/node/17
but it gives you a phone number, and the address (no surprise that the address is the airport)
also the price for a lesson in a cessna 150 was 350zl and hour for members and 500 for non members, but i didn't get the bottom of cost of membership, it involved a yearly fee and monthly fee so didn't make sense for me as i was only visiting. but still a little cheaper than DonAir but then DonAir have better aircraft (152s) and fly out of East Midlands, where as Bydgoszcz use a grass strip in the grounds of Bydgoszcz airport.
