Hidden Costs
Another major hidden cost in the UK training regime is landing fees, especially if you are based an unlicenced airfield and have to travel to a licenced airfield where you dont have a landing card, agreement, etc (also more cost in flight time).
Landing fees can vary from £5-10 per landing to places such as Manchester where I have heard £35 a go!!!
make sure you include them in your calculations as you will be doing quite a few and they will rack up before you know it!
