Newbie taking the plunge!

Hi All,

I have finally decided to take the plunge and attempt to achieve a lifelong ambition of learning to fly! I haven't yet registered anywhere yet but the closest school to me is Tayside Aviation. I have been down to see them and the facilities which all look first rate, along with a nice bunch of people.

If anyone out there has any advice on what the best way forward would be, i.e. do you pay as you fly or pay for the whole course up front? Are starter kits a good idea, books and accessories?

I would really like to complete the course in the 45hrs, but realise that might not be possible. How often should you be flying to keep up and progress at a reasonable speed?


Cheers
