Thanks,
I just wanted to make sure, get all the facts before I go ahead.
I am actually taking an MEng in Aerospace at Surrey. What is the minimum hours for the 'upkeep' of a PPL? How much flying would I have to do in order to retan my licence? Sorry for my ignorance. I was reading the 'So you want to be a pilot' airticle written at the GAPAN website. It says that PPL's should not build up hours after otaining a PPL because sponsors are detered from accepting you due to the 'bad habbits' than can be leant whilst hour building. Would you advise me NOT to get a PPL and build up hours if I want a sponsorship because of this reason?
Sorry, one last question: How long does it take the average PPL student to get through the course?
Thanks
