Hi all,
I'm only 3 hours into PPL trainin at the moment, and have been shafted by the weather at the moment, as a few of us I imagine. I don't have a bottomless pit of money set aside for training, and obviously having to go over the basic exercises again, having not flown for 2-3 weeks, is a pain and eats into the money and progress.
USA is not an option for me. I have recently been offered the possibility of a share in a C150 - same type as I am training in - for £1500. The resulting monthly payments are low and I think I am allowed up to 10 bookings a month on the a/c.
The whole thing seems far more cost effective than shelling out around £130 a lesson/hour which I am doing at the moment. Share has been muted by a family friend, who also co-owns,so all above board.
A/C is co-owned by 20 others, so I have some concerns about availabilty for when I want to fly, but this generally seems to offer far more potential flying and instruction for my money than currently.
Has anyone else gone down this route? Any pitfalls/advantages in your opinion?
Any opinons gratefully recieved.
Cheers
Mark
