Chaps, I'd appreciate any advice you can pass on with regard to me getting my PPL.
I have absolutely no flying experience, I am 28 years old, now based in Leeds (half an hour from LBA), and I am a teacher so wouldn't have an enormous amount of spare time. However, what spare time I do have I'd like to devote to working toward a PPL.
A collegue at work's brother flies privately from Church Fenton, and I am also lucky enough to have a pal flying commercially (ex-XL) but now in Nigeria. Hence not got a hotline to him right now!!
Anyway, I was wondering what sort of cost, time, effort, head-in-book time I'm looking at to achieve it a reasonable time (and I'm also relying on you guys to let me know what amounts to "reasonable" in terms of a time frame!)
Google etc is all well and good for getting black and white information, but if anyone has "real life" advice to offer then I would be EXTREMELY appreciative of your thoughts.
Thanks one and all
