getting plane deposits back
[/COLOR] I recently passed my skills test
( haveing kept putting it off thinking it was alot scarier then it actually was )
and I now have my liscence tucked into my pink leather flight bag in case I should ever need to show it .
I notice now that some places need a deposit placing when one books an aircraft .a nominal sum of about £50 . and if you fail to fly then you loose it .
(I can understand if you simply just fail to turn up or cancel under twenty four hours notice , ,that this is feasable )
but who says the weather is not stopping you .
MY newly taken exams say that "THE PILOT IN COMMAND "makes that descion ,
but what if the club /school . do not agree as they are may be more exsperianced and would may be fly in weather that a NEW PPL may be more cautious in due to lack of exsperiance .
( so you would not get back your deposit if you didn't fly , or may be would fly when you were really not happy with it ?
I know some on here will have no paitence for a new PPL question , but I was just wondering if this is common practice at places every where.?
