That was to build up the hours, but now that you questioned it, I'm starting to question it to!
My PPL I did at Biggin Hill,got my night rating whilst still training so to save cost on having to send my licence back for updating, I got in minimum hours, but it was still more expensive than planned, you know how it is, you get a quote and they forget to mention all the other costs that are associated, landing fees, fuel surcharge etc.
Went to South Africa for my hour building, much cheaper and I grew up there, so my family are there.
I did a few international flights into Neighburing countries and some unofficial IFR flying with a mate of mine who is an instructor with an IR, great learning experience!
Then had to come back after 2 months of solid flying to an office job here in London.
Thats depressing!
Just trying to work out the next step forward, I mean I know what I need to do, however its just getting the funds together to do it!
