"What is your budget" would be my first question. To "go places" one needs to make a reasonable investment in this game.
Yes, I suppose I do want to go places.
For me, one of the benefits would be to finish work on a Friday night (Or early afternoon) and then fly somewhere in Europe for the weekend avoiding checkin queues, rigid flight times and all the pain that flying away for a weekend can involve.
I just don't think doing laps of my local airfield sounds like much fun!
I'm going to kick-start my PPL career in SA or the States (A whole other thing to research!) as I've got lots of holiday to take so can do one of those 21-day courses. I then plan to come back to the UK and build hours with a UK instructor so I'm more confident.
I'm happy to commit a regular amount to enable me to "get away" easily. Any ideas how easy it'd be to cost it up?
