I am extremely fortunate and have a good job as a Training Captain on Airbus A319/A320/A321 series.
I have however experienced the frustration of searching for cheap aircraft hire several years ago whilst learning to fly.
I am considering purchasing a light aircraft for the occasional fun flight on my days off. Should I purchase a suitable aircraft, I am considering hiring it out at a rate that would hopefully be attractive to those wishing to do some cheap flying. Obviously the more hours you want, the cheaper the rate. Rates of about £50 pounds per hour seem possible but not guaranteed until I have done a little more homework. I haven't been near a light aircraft in 6 years.
If any wannabees are interested in this scheme, please post here so that I can get a feel for the demand.
The aircraft will be based in central England, IFR eqpt and let at a dry rate.
