Young people here. Good on you for flying at a young age but what I want to know is, how does a 15/16/17yr old afford a ppl?
At that age you are not even in a decent paid job.
Even a saturday job or a paper round offers peanuts, must be some paper round you must do to be able to afford lessons especially if you are still at school.
Where do you get your money from?
When one lives at home and has mum cook dinner, the expenses are mighty low.
Couldn't agree more, live it up all you can while you pay no rent. and its easier for a younger person get a job as a cashier, employeers can't say no as they try to get young people to get boring jobs like that.
Simply work 15 hours per week on 5.35 = 320 per month. Thats what i do, and that covers 1 flying lesson and the rest is for wasting
that could cover 2 flying lessons at some spare!
and during the summer do mass over time, make 1500 easily, just takes time and commitment but if your determind to get there, then you will!
*EDIT option 2, get your mum to pay for it, and pay her back on direct debit 50 pound a month, thats what i did for my motorbike, its basicallly a loan without interest
