Thanks for your replies to my postings guys,
The reason I would like to have an instructor in the aircraft with me for 100-150 hours would be to instruct me! I'm an inexperienced flyer but have an opportunity to buy a share in a plane for a reasonable price. Rather than tootle around in it on my tod I would prefer to gain further training, ratings etc and make myself into a better pilot. In the future possibly becoming an instructor myself and then who knows what?
I checked with the CAA and a man there told me that it is now illeagle to recieve instruction in an aircraft with a Private C of A for "Valuble Consideration", with the exception being conversion onto type or revalidation! If there is no valuble consideration .... well then .... it's leagle to recieve instruction?
The thinking behind my last posting was that the instructor looking to build thier hours could do so for nothing and I would gain valuble instruction.....keeping costs down for both of us. There are presumably better ways of doing it ... it was just a thought!
Cheers
Mark
