Cheap ! Or rip-off ?

It's all very well finding the cheapest deal but what do you get for this? Just what corners are being cut to achieve this aim ?

I have seen some of the results of such training one of who was not able to land a PA38 on what he described as the very short runway at EGTB.

The trouble is that the student knows next to nothing about flying when he starts and so is in no position to judge the quality of the training he is receiving or the state of the aircraft he is flying.

The bottom line is that there is a minimum cost to doing the job to an reasonable standard and some of the things written above suggest that all the costs are not being taken into account or corners are being cut to a point that an acceptable standard of training can't be achieved.
