How did you start?
Having left university with a taste for flying thanks to a UAS, I now want to complete a PPL this summer but I'm having a hard time finding out the important factors involved in choosing a school. If someone would pass on any general advice or help with these questions I would be very grateful.
How much difference does the school's fleet make to my training, and for my future flying (ie. keeping licence up to date/ hiring in the future/ experience...)?
With serious ambitions to become a professional pilot, would it be any advantage to look towards a school with whom I may complete a professional licence course in the future?
Living NW of London, the schools near me are supposedly heavily restricted by airspace regulations. This has the possibility of being good experience, but would it hinder my training and be better to look further a-field?
Your experience and comments are much appreciated.
