Thanks everyone. Out of intrest (and assuming I will be the perfect student and pass everyting first time) What should it cost me to get my ppl? According to northubmria flying school it can be done for "about"£4500
Northumbria Flying School | Total Licence Cost
Is this about right?
Also on a side note is learing in a helicopter a good idea in terms of job prospects (bearing in mind everyone wants to fly jets)?
Again this is just a hobby for the time being BUT with the industry I work in jobs wont be around for ever. My thoughts are if I am goint to invest time and money it might as well be worth thinking of the future.
Once again thanks for your input.
