Poke holes in my plan
Looking to start PPL training very soon (in the next month or two) with a view to transporting family around the UK and eventually, once my hours are up, to the Channel Islands. Already had a trial flight but only one of those experience it days.
Now I've been and looked at US, France, Spain and UK as training areas and spoke to everyone possible about how to initially get into flying, including six professional pilots at a bar in Alderney last night, that was an interesting "discussion" to be involved in.
So far the short term plan is,
To buy the ground exam books asap and start reading up on them.
Get myself to my local private airport and start getting in the air in a 152
After about four/five hours airtime get my medical and ground exams done.
Carry on through to however many hours I take to get PPL.
A few hours conversion to PA-28
Once its a bit closer to winter again (which it probably will be at this point) look at doing a night rating.
Feel more than welcome to ignore me or poke holes in my plan. Any criticism by people who have been there and done it, is the best advice to listen to.
Thanks
