I would seriously recommend anyone considering the PPL to first experience the trial flight – I have been observant on more then two occasions where individuals have booked a set block hours on the PPL course, whilst making a hefty advanced payment prior to commencing any flying, and guess what..? They despised the whole experience. Fortunately they were able to obtain a full refund, minus the trial flight, although not all FTO are like that though! Get the first one over with than GO FOR IT!!!!!
