Pilot Dar
I take your point ref same result. All I was saying is that you have an a/c that is acceptably serviceable under both systems depending on what you want to do with it. If the OP wants to fly as cheaply as possible then, as I stated in my first post, VFR daytime may be ok. I am sorry I did not mention UK airspace only. But if the OP wishes to investigate the LAA, it's aims, functions, restrictions etc then it may be enough for him. LAA Permit a/c are being accepted in parts of europe & the LAA are trying to improve on that. But I agree there are restrictions ref the rest of the world, public transport, aerial work etc.
I am also well aware that the paper pile has to weigh about the same as the a/c. Which is where most of the cost comes from.
