In my view it's about what your mission is and for some Permit will be right and for others CofA is better.
Thanks for the reply. I initially need to build hours for my CPL, and then I would like to retain the aircraft for trips away, including Europe. A two seat would suit me fine, I think it is rare where I would have more people wanting to join me. I guess I would rather have a higher initial purchase cost, and lower hourly rate..as I would be far more likely to enjoy flying the thing if I know its only costing me £50 an hour, rather than £100 +. Also obviously there is savings from the maintenance.
I've not seen any non equity groups being advertised as having one, is there any specific reason for this? Other than initial cost?
