On the shaky premise that I pass my skill test this week, my thoughts are now turning to the best way of getting flying and building my hours.
I have been learning to fly at Denham which, as I live in the centre of London, seems to be my nearest aerodrome apart from Elstree. I've been learning on a C152 to date, but most flying friends have suggested I get rated on a PA28 after I pass.
I'm not 100% sure on the general availability of PA28s at Denham, but as they only have 2 I'm guessing its not going to be great - certainly not at the weekends which is the only time I can fly.
Does it make any sense to join 2 clubs and hire from both? I'm presuming I need to add a duel-check with the new club and pay their membership fee, but I guess thats not a huge deterrent. Although I think you've got to stay "current" with every club, so I'm not sure if that complicates things to a point where the idea no longer makes sense?
Anyway - any advice on this very much appreciated.
