C152 or HR200? Does aircraft matter?
I have 7 hours towards my PPL already (through scholarship), and am now self-funding. I am close to finishing medical school, and pursuing a PPL is something I want to do as a hobby and lifelong dream.
It is slightly cheaper to fly a Robin HR200, and this specific flying school has a more affordable fuel surcharge compared to others. I have only flown C152s until now. Does it matter which aircraft you do your PPL in? How easy is it to learn how to fly a C152 after training in an HR200? I see the C152 as more widely available and the "standard" trainer so I'm unsure if I should deviate from that.
Any advice would be much appreciated! I've booked a trial 1hr lesson in an HR200 just because I'm curious what it would be like, but I haven't committed to choosing a flying school/aircraft yet. The added fuel surcharges given the current situation makes it a bit harder to decide flying school as it can vary as much as £7.50 to £20 an hour extra!
