£45 each for PPL exams??
I pay £11.75 per exam I pass. That's the CAA fee (which they don't charge unless you pass). School donesn't charge anything, although it is my FTO.
Weather is now playing a real big part in the amount of time its taking to get my PPL(A) in the UK. I was doing well last year and early this year, but I haven't flown for 6 weeks now
. I'm planning on finishing PPL here and then abroad for some hour building.
I agree with chris-squire that going abroad doesn't mean a PPL for peanuts. When I was looking I found I wasn't really gonna save a load of cash. I'm currently learning at a UK International Airport which is good for keeping you on your toes. And since I'll be doing most of my flying in the UK, I thought it better I learn here. Instructors also fly for UK based airlines so plenty of knowledge around should I need to ask anyone for help.
Hope this helps you.
