Civil Pilot and others...

I , we have looked at what to buy and researched for months and we learned what we could use and what it would be wise to stay clear of.

MERLINS J 32'S ETC. DEF NOT AN OPTION .

Have really gone round the houses spoken to instructors operators brokers pilots asked heaps of questions on pprune and on Monday we are going to look at a B200 Seems to be the best option for our needs.
Never rush into anything in aviation , I have had that drummed into me too.

Have a £45k budget for training this year so going to get as much flying time in as I can both here and the states. It will be later in the year before I can go to do the instrument course but will do the faa courses first then JAA.

I have founnd a few pilots who will act as captain while I continue my training over the next two years and have got £125k budget to do continuation training. The insurers are happy with a 500 hour pilot.

Fisrt steps with the little trainer are on hold as I am still waiting for the fund (snagged by the mortgage situation in America apparently) .
But anyway Thanks for the help and information
