Just backing up PAPI-74's point, Im at 2370(Denham) (the best one !!!
) and I have had free flying and gliding, with about 2 hours in a Tutor and 5 in a Vigiliant, and shortly be doing a scholarship to go solo in two weeks time.
Trust me if you want to go in to aviation, then joining the ATC is the best thing you'll do.
Advert over
PS: im 5' 3" and it "ain't" stopped me
