Plane Share for JAA PPL(A) and Hour Building
Hi,
Having had several lessons abroad i'm now eager to get my PP(A) this summer.
Ideally I'd like to do this in the UK as that's where i'll be doing most of my fling initially so am looking at the options.
One option would be to take a part share in a plane of which there are several offered at the moment. For example:
£2000 - 1/6 Share in a C150
£70 per month payment
£35 per hour wet.
Then for the PPL paying an istructor £50 per hour.
45hours x (50 instructor fees + 35 per hour) = £3825.
Plus Ground School Exams + Books = £350
Plus Skills Exam and other expenses = £500
Doing this for 6 months over the summer comes to approx £6500 which is the current price of most UK based PPLs.
Has anyone else done this and apart from the risk of the plane going U\S can anyone comment on this approach?
Many Thanks
C.
