Learning to fly in Scotland
Hi All,
I have just joined this forum as I plan to learn to fly during 2012.
Being a newbie I will no doubt have loads of silly questions that I'll ask during this journey.
I'm looking at going for the PPL and as I live in central Scotland I have been looking at three options. Glasgow, Edinburgh, & Cumbernauld. Anyone on here have any experience of any of these? That could give some recommendations.
Also how long does it take "the average" person to achive there PPL? I know the requirements are 45 hours, but how long does it take.
I work abroard so therefore I'm home for 2-3 months blocks at a time, is it possible to squeeze it in during a leave period or two??
Finally the medical requirements? Can anyone point me in the right direction for what the actual requirements are? I'm currently overweight!!! (not just because of the Christmas dinner!) and working on getting it down.
Anyway thanks for reading this and looking forward to commencing this!
Cheers
Richard
