when I look at my bills, I think it is scandalous that airports charge us so much.

22 pounds for a landing. 44 pounds for an approach (ILS or NDB).

this is kind of stuff I was paying in England.

When I was in the US, I have paid 0$ and I have loged around 1000 landings, 250 approach(lot of ILS). when I did my IR in Florida, I was shoting 6 approaches in one flight, and all this for free.

I do not know what the futur will be in our JARland, But soon, all training will be in simulators.

Fly with a company with its aircraft on landing cards. Most landings and approaches will be at the home airfield in training flights, and these will then be included in the basic hire charges.

for what I am concerned, it was not included in my training.
and for the IR I have had to fly away from my base.

anyway it s done, and i will never pay to fly here again. prefer the USA.
