Taking a chance with buying a package of hours for PPL training

Afternoon all,

Now, from what I've read on this forum, you just shouldn't buy hours in bulk and rather pay as you fly. From what I understand this is due to the chance of the school closing down and losing out on thousands of pounds. Of course, this is a very good reason.

However, I've come across a package that works out massively cheaper than if I pay as I fly. I'm not in a financially strong position, and don't think I will be for a little while either. I've been considering taking a bit of a chance and buying the package.

The school is very successful and is part of a larger grouping. I'm really quite desperate to start learning to fly and think maybe just taking a chance might help smooth things along.

Cheers fellas,
