'scuse me butting in here but this all seems to god to be true. If one decided to get a PPL(H) as a first step nudge nudge wink wink, to being a professional helicopter flyer one could set up as a self employed helicopter instructor/driver register for VAT using a business plan that prioved in x years I will be hiring myself out for £££, claim back the VAT on all training costs a/c hire fuel WHY on th ehope of future income. When I get my PPL(H) Irealise that I am never going to cut it as a professional pilot, so can the idea, thank you very much C&E. Or I suppose I could keep struggling on hours building and never make the grade. Perhaps from a credibilty point of view it would be better to conspire to fail a class 1
Is that a fair summary, and if so why isn't every single PPL trainee doing it?
