Enquired about PPl training this morning at an airfield & spoke to an instructor.
I have 150 hours Gliding experience which 130 hrs are solo, Full silver (50 K's cross Country, Staying airborne for 5 hrs plus without landing, & Height gain off a winch Launch)
I know the course is at least 45 hours minimum, i have been told this morning that my Gliding experience counts & i would only have to do 35 hour course.

True or False??

Any help or tips appreciated, i have the PPL study pack & PPL Confuser.

Have already read Air Law Now on Met & intend to do Radio's next so i am prepared as i want to start in July learning Powerd flying.
