Post PPL I did my IMC & twin rating (simultaneously, one in a C150, the other in a twin Commanche, I'll leave it to you to work out which was which). The IMC has served me well but is lapsed as is the twin rating, thanks JAR's). I now fly the cheapest (I think) 2 seater in the UK. Slow but lots of fun, a reasonable range (thanks to the wing tank), I can maintain it myself (under the supervision of the local PFA inspector). Cost as much as a Ford Escort to buy, and the annual costs including hangerage (in the London area) and insurance are around £2,00/pa. Hourly costs around £15-£20/hour.
Join the PFA and see what's on offer!!!!!!!!
