Good advice from Mr Average. As far as the market is concerned I think this is as good as it gets with demand for new pilots as strong as I’ve seen it in over thirty years. There’s no guarantee that won’t change. It’s always going to be a gamble.
Re Blackbushe if you’re local get down there and have a trial lesson. Ask questions about what is involved. You’ll need a Class 1 as Mr A said so that is a priority. One last thing. Never, and I mean ever, pay up front for a course. By all means staged payments are ok but too many schools have gone bust owing their students thousands. Hope that helps.
