Carry on with aircraft ppl or switch to microlights?
Hi all, just a quick question as to whether you think it would be wise to carry on with my PPL, or to switch to the micro light PPL.
I have already done 10 hours towards my PPL and have now come to doing my first solo which obviously requires me to do my air law exam also. I have been looking around and have found from the BMAA website that you can expect to budget around £3,500 for the lessons, and as I already have some hours on normal aircraft I would assume this cost would be lowered somewhat.
Anyway my point is with the money I could save, I would be able to buy a decent microlight ( I also have some extra £££ just in case) and actually be able to afford to fly it after I have my license. I have a garage to keep it in and a local airstrip that will allow me to operate out of, so not much extra cost there.
The actual question is basically do you think this is a wise idea?
By the way if it helps I'm seventeen and still at college. Thanks in advance!
