The BAFC rates may at first glance seem expencive but just like maggi thatcher once said "there is no such thing as a free lunch" and when you look at what you will spend for your PPL training i dont think that you will find much diferance between BAFC and the other reputable clubs in the area ,If you realy whant to find out about expencive then look no further than a large group of clubs in the south who offer all sorts of packages with so meny strings atatched that you soon fall out of "discount" and pay a very hefty rate.
BAFC are very honest about the cost of flying in the south of the UK others may claim to be cheaper and then nickel and dime you out of a fortune.
