Advice for a total beginner.Please!
I'm a flying virgin, so to speak, about to take that leap into taking lessons for a PPL. I've been shopping around in dublin, Ireland re schools, though God knows there's not much choice , and would be interested to hear if anyone out there has any experience with any here and what you think of them... In fact any thoughts from anyone from here who's learnt to fly, in this country or aboard, would be Grr-eat.
it costs about €6k here to get PPL. Does anyone else know of anywhere cheaper? I've checked a couple of places in the States and one in Spain and you're looking at €48k - €55k to go the whole hog and study for CPL for two years, not inc living expenses. I realise it's an expensive game but I think the best thing may be to do PPL here and then see. How do you feel about that?
Also, I'm 29, I assume it's not to late to consider the possibility of making a career out of this...or is it?? and is there much private charter work out there? And of course, is it true you could be waiting for years for your first paid job flying any plane? Thanks in advance for replies. And enjoy your flight.
