Hi all, this is my first post, so please excuse any ignorance.
Ive just spent a few weeks working at Culdrose airbase in Cornwall, as a longtime fan of aviation and a dream of one day becoming a pilot, the constant aviation activity has inspired me to book my first flying lesson at Perranporth airfield.
If i commit to this i know its going to take a lot of money and time away from my family commitments (our first baby due yesterday
!!!) i havnt told her yet of my quest for the PPL and eventually hopefully a commercial rating......
I just wanted to know from people who have gained the license what to really expect, im 34 years old and im self employed so im flexible with time, i also operate other businesses one of which i aim to sell to finance this dream.
Would love to hear any 'real' advice not just 'follow your dreams'......(my misses is going to need alot of convincing this is a good idea
)
Looking forward to my first flight!
Cheers
Al
