Welcome Scroggs,
In response to your earlier request on PPL info, I'll add my niggle about the new JAA license. I gained my PPL last October and applied for my license from the CAA. I was happy to find out that the cost of application had gone down by around 50 quid but mortified to find out that I would have to pay an extra £60 annually to keep it current! Under the old rules you only had to stump up a one off sum for £206. Being 22, I can see that the CAA is going to make a tidy profit out of me and being in the final year of University, money is not something I have much of!!
Cheers,
Buggs
