For a flying school the price of good maintenance is only the beginning.
Extortionate operating and landing fees piled on by fat cat land owners such as Peel holdings.
The people who want to fly and those who want to continue to fly need to take a reality check, these things have to be done.
The majority of flying schools are on the bones of their arse, piled into the ground by EASA regulations that are in place for one reason and one reason alone, that is to get rid of GA...period, stand by for the legislation for the 100 hours groundschool...15-20% of classroom work at £15-£20/hour. another £400 on the over all price of a PPL/LAPL! For what?
A and C is bang on...There is only one way to operate and that is the correct way. £70 a month and £70/hr wet for a PA28 do the maths..unworkable.
