So, what do I know so far?

Well, if I go gliding in Belgium, I can expect a 86% chance of getting cancelled due to weather....interesting, but I am in London

IO tells me 75% chance of flying, which is great, cos that means I only have 1 more lesson to be cancelled, and statistically, I'll never have another lesson missed. Somehow, I think thats statistics playing silly games with me :-)

Oh yes, and a flurry of information that means I should have learned IFR flying on helicopters.

However, coming back to Peter's calculations, if there are 52 weekends in the year, you guys out there must have a gut feeling (and I know a lot of you are NPPL, PPL without IMC or flying VFR only planes/microlights) as to how many weekends a month you actually get to fly, and for how long....

C'mon, get your log books out, and tell me how 2010 went for you. As a trainee NPPL, can I expect to even get my 12 hours per 24 months once I pass, if I only fly weekends?

So, what do you think? Any advance on 75% (which I would be really happy with).
