ahhh yeah..Whatever..

Getting back to an earlier point re the 750 hours....

or more specifically the 100 command of the 200hr course required for a CPL that you can do in an RA aus plane ..

Money talks and bullsh!t walks and unless you have rich parents or rob banks, money is always tight for the student pilot..

looking at some average prices..

GA
100 hours in a 172 at 250.00 approx = 25 grand
Cruise at 100kts(ish) go anywhere with the right licences, 4 seats..most of us know the performance blah blah

RA
100 hours in a Tecnam at 120.00 p hour = 12 grand..
Cruise 100kts(ish) go anywhere with the right licences, 2 seats .. good allround performance..

A thirteen thousand dollar saving..

Its a no Brainer..

Use the spare 13 thou to pay for whatever rating suits your chosen direction best...
