Hi Stu,
Thanks for answering my post, lots of great information. Looks like my route will work then and should cost me significantly less than a conventional route if I get all my training from a JAR instructor rather than just a BGA approved instructor. Much better to get this sorted than find out half way down the road and getting a surprise!
Thanks for the offer of instruction also, I have some favourable rates with one of the gliding clubs where I used to work so I’ll try and exploit that first but if it fails I’ll get in touch. Where are you based?
Regards,
Kai
