Hunter would be much better but probably more like £3-5k per hr Vs about £700-800 in a JP!
Are you now allowed to carry out fare paying passenger flights on these machines given they are operated on a Permit?, used to be severly frowned upon but I did hear something has changed. If so wouldnt you still need a CPL / FI rating to take fare paying passengers?
I think the OP might
just be able to afford the difference.
As far as fare paying pax goes, I think that is a no no, not saying this happens, it used to, but think it has been clamped down on now,but think what you have to do is find a friendly pilot who will take you for free, then buy him a very expensive beer afterwards, the other way was you used to make a donation to the rebuilding fund or something similar. In this case I think he should just buy the aircraft, do the flying he needs, then sell it to me for £50
