Assess you needs first

Hi Speedbird777,

I think you need first to assess what kind of flying you expect to be doing post PPL.

For example, if all you are going to do for a couple of years is the bare minimum hours per year to keep your licence, then don't buy anything more than what you already have. It will be enough.

If, by contrast, you are going to fly a hundred or more hours per year, perhaps incuding instrument flying or flying over rough terrain or water or at night, then your equipment needs will be vastly greater.

In practice, I suspect probably it will be something in between. Whatever it is, you need to be realistic and only buy what you can identify a clear need for.

Think before spending money perhaps needlessly.

BP.
