Not too far into the PPL myself, about 12 hours now, all on a 172. Local school in Ireland offers only the 172.

Is there any benefit to be had in training in a 172 over a 152?

On the other hand, have been living in Nairobi and could train for less money in a 152. Nairobi is at 5000 ft+ elevation, which affects performance of course, plus the need to convert to a JAA PPL back in Europe. Which is why I reckon I'll just do it in Ireland.

Thoughts?
