I never realized that students had to pay for "touch & Goes" each time during flight training. That is very poor practice. So really practicing landing could add $2000 on to flight training.
It is a simple solution,put "all-aerodromes" under county council authority ,private owners receive grants for maintenance. I can't see cutting grass once a week as being a big expense. Some say its complicated thats because ineffective bureaucracies make it that way. Very simple legislation. Present the bill to the floor,grease the right palms....job done.
Otherwise the extreme measure is to terminate UK aerospace authority under the new "EU Project" and put them under military authority and maintained by the NATO budget.
Easy solution.Just like tax free flight training,to kick stat the industry and compete with other countries. Otherwise in 5- years you will have little or no flight training here except for the elite,which it already is reserved for.
