Gradual Payments
Thanks for the advice Sir!
The plan is to do exactly what you said, make gradual payments and pay as you go. The budget will (hopefully) be anywhere inside of what it would cost to go to PAL Aviation School, since that is the first choice.
I'm still in the initial stages of the search so all I have to go with for now is advice about flying schools from people like you and others in this forum who may have knowledge about which schools offer the best rates/packages etc. This is like making online research on the "big item" you want to buy before actually going out there and seeing it for yourself first hand.
