so I assume you are talking about the ongoing cost post-PPL
Hi you are quite right, I was talking about post ppl and the pricing. I like the idea of buddying up and doing one leg each as that provides plenty more experience for the cost of sharing fuel (I like that idea).
Regarding upfront costs.....
£6,250 is a lot of cash upfront to just hand over and get your 45 hours experience, Stapleford Aerodrome offers this good rate, although I fully understand that some schools do gust bust, Stapleford appears to be going strong, a very popular starting ground for students that has been training for well over 30 years....But you can never say never! I certainly will be horrified if I lost all that cash, so would probably pay hourly.
But then my local airfield is Southend, which is a small regional airport, larger runway, bigger/ heavier traffic, commercial and domestic operations as well as private flying.....A little more expensive to learn to fly but I think I prefer the airfield because it is local and many say you will gain better experience because its a regional airport with active operations ongoing....
Good valid answers here!
Dont worry about the bank stuff I get the message
