Doesn't sound too far off the mark but it does take more than 4 or 5 hours for it to be second nature - trust me on that one!!

You will also have theory exams to pass.

Best thing to do ... call that local school and book a half hour trial lesson. Chat to the instructor and he or she will tell you what you need to know.

There are different aspects to flying and what one person finds hard, another may find straightforward whether it be hovering, landing, radio, navigation, handling, theory etc.

Haha! excuses for my poor judgement on the second nature part, I have yet to start!

What exactly is a theory exam?

I'll definitely call for a half-hour trial lesson, I guess from there I'll realize if it's for me or not.


Hire you for what ???
I was thinking on the line of private transport. It sounds like I'll be going somewhere new every single time, and it'll be awesome looking at the particular area's scenery.
