The best advice is to ring round the schools
Most schools wil1 come to an arrangement with you
If you say I have 6000 pounds to spend on hours building over the next year whats
the rate ?
If you fly during the week or when the aircraft is not being used then its money
in the bank for them and they WILL be interested
If they are not, then get on the blower to the next bloke..
... Use a C-150 its cheapest.
As stated regard every flight as a flight test and measure your performance. Take
an instructor along occasionally for his
view. Dont aimlessley fly round in circles
PLAN challenging xcountry routes and diversions practice ACCURATE flying and GOOD
RT .. DONT waste this time .. many do and regard it as time out - it shoudn't be
If dont come back from early trips knackered
and full of regret about what you did wrong
your not pushing yourself !
Replan and Redo until its perfect
