Forum Introduction
Hi all
I would just like to introduce my self to the forum.
My Name is Ben, i'm 22 and live in Kent. Ive so far only flown just over two hours but it has been enough to give me the bug! So i'm just making the most of any opportunity i can to hop in to the captains seat and go flying. I'm currently not flying as much as i'd like to as saving up on the long road towards a house deposit! I've flown at Headcorn aerodrome in the Cessna 172 but would also like to give it a go in a 150 aerobat and try gliding! Im lucky enough to be self employed and so not limited to when i can go flying, if any one has seen insect based sweets/snacks, thats my company.
So to start off here's my first question. I have heard somewhere along the grapevine that gliding allows you to build up upon hours toward a PPL, is this true? I'm yet to give gliding a go but more than willing as it costs less and will ultimately build hours (possibly)
Thanks
Ben
