The first thing you need to do is get out and look around the market, Cabair are very good at taking newcomers and getting them trapped into the rather expensive training options they have.

For some people the service offered by Cabair is a good idea, but they are usualy those who are short of time and NOT short of money.

A lot of the new blood to this business are seduced by the flashy new kit and glass avionics, but what you need at this stage is basic training using basic aircraft, if you walk up the stairs to the office above Cabair Mr Billins will teach you to fly a basic aircraft at a very attractive price.

The people at Billins air services will also teach you about the side of aviation that the glossy hand outs don't tell you about, this in the long run will save you a lot of money, take a little more time but make you a much better pilot.
