I know there is no such thing as 'cheap' in aviation.. believe me I have just been released from "The Priory" after checking myself into rehab from the expense of my PPL
But on a serious note, I have found one provider in the UK that I can rent a plane from.. without messing around with Monthly Fees/Annual budgeting for ARC etc.
I have a few constraints at the moment and can only do this on a "as and when affordable basis" and to keep current. I also want to enjoy the previlege of my license and build some hours at the same time.. plan a few trips to the highlands (Scotland), lake district, local area (london flying), experience the first cross channel flight etc.
Are there any "Private Individuals" who are not part of a group that rent planes? Sort of like a car hire place but for Planes...
Would it be worth getting a few friends together, putting in maybe 5k each and buying a plane? - Don't think this will be feasible though as an ongoing maintenance plan needs to be in force.
Any other suggestions?
Thank You.
