I can afford to buy a package in the UK and train.

It’s about £6020 at my local airfield for PPL.


I don't know if I want to take things further due to only starting. Maybe after 50 lessons I would want to pursue some more ratings??

I would love to go for an ATPL but that’s another story.


It seems to be he same chicken and egg syndrome that I have endured for years.

Without experience (hours) it is impossible to gain a foothold. An instructor position would be great but I will need 250hrs after my PPL before I could apply.

In hire rates that’s £26250!!!!


Even some additional ratings seem to require numerous hours. And if I can only afford 1 lesson a month building hours will be a very hard long slog.
