Vectair in Goodwood is where I am doing the AOPA using the 2160i, that is the club that unfortunately is closing down. I wanted to do the AOPA as an introduction to see if its for me, and if after the course it wasn't at least I had a certificate to show the achievement. And now I am totally hooked and plan to move onto the more advanced licenses etc once the AOPA is completed.
Pitts if you have the time please could you give me more of an insight into how you progressed to competition level, the number of hours before you could compete/get signed off for lower altitudes etc, the craft you use etc, by PM if you prefer.
PS received good news, the 2160i's owner has agreed to let me use it for another 3 weeks to complete the certificate.
