I'm paying £150 / hr, brakes off brakes on. this is with the cambrian flying school in swansea. the tuition and pre-flight briefing is top notch.
I've been investigating the possibility of recieving instruction in a VLA, as it would seem that a disproportionate chunk of the lesson cost is purely use of the aircraft (which obviously has to include fuel, maintenance etc etc). I'd imagine it would bring the costs down considerably....
