This is a bit off topic... I noticed that Basair and Aerospace offer the best plane hire rates! I mean its only about AU$160-170p/h for C152 dual time compared, say, to General Flying Services, who use C172 as their cheapest plane for PPL and the rate is around AU$300p/h! I mean thats a BIG difference and I am not all that sure if it's worth paying extra $$$ for PPL training when it sort of doesn't really matter what plane you do it in. Any thoughts on that?
Also, it seems that a lot of schools are not using good old C152 for initial training these days, but preffer larger planes (i.e. warrior - hence the high rates).
