Unfortunatly due to the rules about advertising on pprune I can't tell you any more about the company.
So now you have a company? Really
So why can t you afford to advertise on any website, let alone have your own website?
There was nothing anti US in my post, i've been there, merely trying to highlight the potential costs to people. Its obviously their choice at the end of the day. People automatically think US cheap = UK expensive. Not the case!!!
Then you surely picked the wrong place.
US is cheap, uk is expensive, no one s gonna change it.
Reasons:
-Avgas is less than 2.5 GBP/gallon instead of 5 GBP/gallon
-Minimal registration and paperwork fees
-Lower parts cost due to bigger market
-More competition
-Lower expenses on food (you can get a good burger with fries and some pop for less than 6$ almost anywhere)
Ok, sure there s a hotel to book, a car to rent and an airline ticket to buy.
Say your car rental costs you 20$ a day, your hotel 40$ a day (you re not staying at the Hilton), your airline ticket 50$ a day.
That s 110$ a day.
Now that s alot of money unless you can divide the cost over 3 to 5 hours a day.
If you only fly 3 hours a day, you d be paying 36$/18GBP per hour on expenses.
If you get to fly 5 hours a day, the split cost per hour is lowered to 22$/11GBP per hour.
You can rent good c-150s for less than 70$/35GBP an hour around the country.
So yes, you can definitely stay below 50GBP an hour in the US.
What's the lowest rental rate on a Cessna 150 in the uk?
Somewhere around 85GBP/hour with actual Avgas prices???
YES, the US is cheaper!!!!
PLUS: in the UK you'd spend 10GBP on landing fees and 5GBP on your car trip to the airport alone... I wouldn't be surprised if they start charging for flight planning as well...
