A Few Questions about Private Flying
Hi there,
I'm about to start on the path to achieve a JAA PPL license. Before starting though I wanted to make sure I'm realistic in what could be achieved. I prefer advice on forums to companies because the feedback is always varied and mostly impartial.
> Ultimately I want to be able to fly to different destinations in Europe. How long would it take to fly say Paris from Manchester? How much would the fuel cost? How long would it take to plan the route? Is it straightforward to access their airspace? How many miles of fuel would I have with the typical aircraft you can fly with a ppl license?
> If it costs around £240 / hour to hire an aircraft, how would you stay at your destination for any period of time without it costing the earth. Is there anything like hire cars where you can drop them back at any Hertz etc?
> Is there anything else that is very important to know before I start?
Thanks,
