Starting a PPL
Hi,
This is my first post.
I've always wanted to fly from a very young age, and now I am seriously looking at doing my PPL training.
I live in Brighton UK and I want to find a good training course which doesn't cost the earth. I've already done an introductory 2 hours flying, and have some questions about what to do next.
* Does anyone have any recommendations about courses/schools within an hour's drive of Brighton?
* Is there anyone local actually doing their PPL now who could share their experiences (good & bad)?
* Do my introductory hours count towards my PPL flying hours?
* How possible is it to study & take the exams independently and just pay for the actual flight training?
* Lots of people have said pay as you go rather than upfront for training - I'm not sure exactly what that means - can anyone explain?
Sorry about all the questions - I'm sure there'll be more.
