Hi!
This is something that has been in my head for a few years now.
How to keep current with your license?
I’m not talking about a license like a CPL that enables the pilot to fly for a living but just for G.A. pilots that just enjoy flying (say PPL or NPPL).
Mind you, I don’t have my PPL license yet but I was thinking that when I do get it, what then? What can I do with my license after and how can I keep flying without having to spend even more thousands of pounds in keeping current or having to retake exams, etc?
So my idea was to do some volunteer flying.
I heard rumors that a pilot could fly sky divers for free, as in for charity organizations and that; or to fly food supplies in Africa (as an example) where the pilot has all paid while in the country (accommodation and travel); or for glider towing.
But since this is all just rumors, could anyone out there actually confirm that there are organizations doing this kind of schemes or how to search for places where a pilot could offer this kind of services?
It would be much appreciated!!
