Very good point. My biggest reason for not yet knowing is I'm not sure whether it would be recreational or to lead onto something bigger.
I know that my dream is to go commercial, but that isn't going to happen until I win the lottery, or at least until I have my own house etc, maybe in 10 years time. So for now, it would just be recreational.
Do you know: If I started down the PPL route, and got to 30 hours (with all the minimum requirements), could I send of for my LAPL if I decided that the PPL was just not the right course of action at that time?
I would love to do some microlighting, but that route seems like lots of paperwork.
True about the minimum hours thing
