Hi,
First I would like to say thanks for answering some questions I had last week :ok:
I am about to start the mission to get my PPL. This is a fairly big investment for me and a tad daunting (I should pay the money of the mortgage but that's no fun). One thing I am fairly big on in life is before committing to any outlay are what advantages it gives me. The PPL had a few advantages in my limited knowledge so I have some questions (some may appear silly) I hope can be answered by you fine chaps. (flame suit at the ready )
Assuming I get my PPL with night rating and instrument rating whats the next step? Twin engine? What can I fly on a PPL? Could I go and fly a spitfire for example? If not why/how could I get to do that? Is there a max number of passengers (family so non paying)?
Could I fly for example small jets (is there a jet engine rating that could go in a PPL?) IE corporate say to take the family for a holiday? again if not how could I?
I do understand that to fly for £££ I would need CPL I guess Im just trying to work out what I can fly and have fun with without outlaying a load of dosh.
Also is going to see the chaps in ATC at my local airport a good idea?
Again sorry if questions appear daft this is all new to me.
Thanks in advance for any answers and wish me luck for Sat.
