Thanks again red-eye,
I gather then that if this school is willing to insure any unscheduled I may have a very good deal - but only if they fly enough hours to cover my payments to pay for the machine. What would an average school do in a year? It could actually be a better investment than property or high interest accounts. Am I right?
As for the School, I assume by CP you mean chief pilot and when you refer to Lasors it's the section about QFI's? So I would need a QFI and he would be licensed and approved by the CAA by the nature of the license he holds? As in he's not a AFI but a QFI. Am I correct?
I'm erring towards this route I must admit. As at the moment I'm looking for another business to set up to give me an income. If I do it then I would also look at getting a 44 to lease from someone (now knowing what I know about leasing!!) So really the only thing in my way is getting a good QFI to join me.
I read a great article today in the Times online which was about the expected growth in flight training due to the economical sense of business people using 22's for business travel because of increasing congestion. Very interesting. I think I put 'R22 maintenance costs' into Google and it came up on the first page.
Once again, thanks for the help.
Sorry, what\'s an RF? Thanks for the advice on the self hire. I can see the benifit in that.
And thanks Max T. I think I might take you up on that offer and call you in the week if that\'s OK?
