Hi All,
These replies were a real pleasure to read, such honest positive comments. I've attempted to distill the following comments just in case someone finds this thread in the future.
So it looks like the following things are important;
- Be wary of paying in advance, pay a manageable portion on credit card if you can to take advantages of discounts but if you can't don't worry too much
- Gaining a PPL part time can be achieved, be wary of the weather and instructor availability on the weekends.
- Don't leave theory late, try and start it at the earliest opportunity.
- Whilst weekend flying will get you the PPL, try, if possible, to take a few days off to do some cross country flying or get in some extra flying where possible.
- Enjoy it!
If anybody has anything else to add both myself and future readers of this thread would really be most appreciative.
Thanks again,
Adam
