Sorry to dissapoint you TractorBoy, but it's up North. And by up North, I don't mean Newcastle! Lol. Don't want to be touting them in case everyone thinks I'm adevertising them, so lets say location A and B. I stay in Aberedeen, location A is a good 2 hours on the train from me, and are doing the £73 an hour C152. However, location B are doing £90 per hour on Warrior or Arrow, and its only 1hr10 from me. Currently with B on PPL, but looking into options for hours building.

The thing about B it seems is that to get that rate I need to fly 16hours a month (without being able to book i should add....its a case of going down and if theres an aircraft free, I get it), which seems alot to me. I probably would fly near that anyway, but if I dont, not sure what happens there.

At A, the £73 an hour in the 152 is just buying in 10hr blocks, so no requirement for minimum hours a month. Also, its bookable. Book 3 hours and the plane is yours for the entire day-seems really good.

So, can't really decide between them. Is there an advantage to a Warrior/Arrow for CPL than C152? Is it therefore best to try to fly your hour building in the aircraft used for CPL?

Again, all thoughts on this matter most welcome.
