I'm a "returning" PPL and have an interesting connundrum.
I went flying recently in a school aircraft, with an instructor on-board on a navex.
All was going well, 20 minutes into the flight, knew exactly where I was etc
Then the plane develops a technical fault, so instructor makes executive decision to abandon the navex and return to base.
The plane we were flying was 3 hours off its next scheduled overhaul ... I had to foot the bill for the 40 minutes or so airborne even though their plane goes faulty ...
I paid for the time without argument as I still have training to do with the school but being a novice, not sure what the "done thing" is ... Are they right to make me pay or should I have been a little more vocal and expected some kind of compromise on the price?
