Taking an (average??) 60 hours, a PPL in a AT-3 will cost around £1200 less than in a PA-28.

In the current climate this is surely great marketing copy to attract new student potential?

I am therefore amazed that the AT-3 is not even included on the SAC website "Fleet" page. The club have been operating them for nearly 12 months!! There is a small photo of one in the "club house" page but nothing there that alludes to the low cost/ideal trainer route to PPL/NPPL.

Unless of course both aircraft are achieving 100% useage and people are being turned away.
