Just something you may not already be aware of with regards to landing fees. Make sure that "unlimited" landings at the schools base airfield are included in the hourly rate. I found a number of schools that only included one landing. This can soon add up when you move onto circuits and circuit consolidation (I did 12 landings in 1 session but luckily it was all included in the hourly rate).
