Hi
helelizwil,
I started my PPL training in the UK with a local flying club back in 2006 and finally passed my skills test in 2010! Perhaps a record for the longest time from first solo to passing skills test?!
Basically it's a long story of working Monday-Friday and having to fit flying training in at weekends, my original flying school having to relocate and then having technical issues with their aeroplane which took over a year to sort and then finally making the decision to finish my PPL at a school an hour and a half's drive away just to get some flying in!
It all seemed to work out okay though and now fly for Europe's largest regional airline, I certainly have some hard earned pearls of wisdom for anybody about to embark on flying training in the UK whilst trying to fit it around work commitments if you're interested.
Cheers!
