Non equity Cirrus

I was in the Cirrus group at Blackpool since it was formed (I was in the Piper Archer III group before that) until earlier this year.

A quick calculation, including the monthly fee, and it has worked out at about £140 per hour wet. Availability wasn't a problem for me and have had several trips with overnight stays in France and Eire. The monthly fee was £120 when I joined though.

Availability never proved to be a problem, I just booked whole days in the internet system. You can hold 3 confirmed bookings and one "trip" (multiple days) in the booking system at a time, and this worked fine for me.

Without this group I would never have got to fly a Cirrus and I am grateful for that.
