Note

The club also offers scenic passenger balloon flights (up to two passengers in the basket, weather permitting) — a separate commercial offering distinct from the DTO-format BPL pilot training. No price list is published for either the training or the passenger flights.

What this means for you

A DTO is a lighter-weight form of training organisation, declared to ULC without full ATO certification. For a PPL(A) candidate it leads to exactly the same licence — DTOs are usually narrower in scope (e.g. PPL/LAPL only) and are often a cheaper, local option.
