Hmmm ... so mixed opinions
I'll stick to the CD's for now and maybe pick up a set of 2nd hand books and if I don't read them and only keep them on the shelf it wont be a big waste.
Mariner9 - I've heard that I can do my Night rating with my PPL (within the 45hrs) so I'll play it by ear and if I have £700 left over then I'll put it toward some hours or an IMC
If you ever have an empty seat I'll be free ... not flown for a few years now. I'll have to drop you a PM when I've passed my PPL too. I'm sure there are a few things I could learn from an experienced flyer sitting next to me.
englishal- I did think about going to the states but having heard about the downtime on the AC's and adding the costs of flights and possibly a couple of hours back in the UK to catch up with UK airspace I guess I might just be breaking even. B-F-C look like a good local outfit that I'd like to do my CPL/IR with so if I can get used to the flight paths / airport / AC's / Instructors / Management etc then it's not wasted money in my eyes.
I 'could' go to the US for hour building, I'm sure the misses wont mind a trip to Florida.
Thanks for the advise guys!
