Edit] I've just realised that I know someone in the Specials whos also in the TA

This could be a worry! Special Constable - fine. In the TA - fine. Both? Mmmmmh. Alarm bells ringing. What do they do for a day job?

I've interviewed such persons many a time. I always have that 6th sense feeling there is something slightly 'odd' about them. This curious desire to to don uniforms but on a part time basis. Gareth in The Office always springs to mind.

No offence to anyone intended - purely a personal observation. If there are those out there who have the time to support both with a genuine wish to give something back, I take my hat off to them.

Yeh I sort of agree with you, the person in question is planning on leaving the TA soon because of the time required for both roles. I don't know what she does as a "real" job though to be honest

Kinloss looks good but I think I'm heading up to Highland Flying School next summer to finish it in 2-3 weeks.

Sixty quid for fifteen minutes straight missionary, no kissing and nothing up the a***.

I flew during a visit to Capetown, and I paid about 75 quid an hour for an 172R.

I'm going to upset you guys now

My recent training cost me: £75 per hours tacho time which works out at about £65 per hours flying time on a PA28-161. £20 per hour to the Instructor but some don't charge A 24/7 airfield in class D with no landing fees.

Where is that?? Do you have to pay a joining fee or annual membership or any other hidden cost?

I thought all hourly rates were tacho time? Or is it really the time the plane is away from their hangar?

It's a RAF flying club so is a non profit outfit hence the prices. My yearly membership is £160 as I'm a civvy member. Civvy membership is open to RAF-employed civilians, former members of the RAF, dependants, others at the discretion of the OIC. It helps if you have a tallent they need

Re the Tacho time, this is the hours meter on the tacho which only seems to start counting after the engine has reached so many revs. So it does not time correctly taxi time, etc Now this is diferent from a Hobbs which starts timing once the master is on.

I started my PPL recently with Donair at East Midlands - currently £120/hr all in for a C152 or £140/hr all in for a Warrior. Stump the readies up front for 10hrs and it's £115/hr or £135/hr. Quite reasonable considering the landing fees at East Midlands aren't the cheapest?
