Say you need 10 - 15 hrs to complete the course your looking on £4000 for the converstion .

If you always fly with a friend and split the cost its £150 an hour after you pass the course.

Most flights i've been told last about 45 min so your probably looking at £125 an hr each .

Not bad when you can blast around the country side at 400mph.
What are you basing the 10-15 hours on?? That cannot possibly give someone who has just got their PPL enough experience to fly a jet (albeit a cr@p one). Surely, you cannot just buy yourself a 'fast jet rating' after 15 hours.

Please tell me that I don't have to share the sky with these people? Most people have a good 20 odd lessons to learn to drive a car let alone a a 'jet'.

I would like to see what is covered (or more imprtantly omitted) in this 15 hour course that allows weekend warriors to don their e-bay flying suits and speed jeans and waterski several miles behind a (slow) fast jet
