I,ve taught my daughter to fly she,s very good but does not want a licence so she is well beyond first solo standard but we have not bothered thus avoiding the cost of medicals etc.She makes an excellent autopilot on family trips always sitting in the front with me.I am now in my early sixties and the component most likely to fail in the aircraft is me!The rear seat passengers have the reassurance of a second albeit unlicensed pilot.Its a great shame that even with an instructor/examiner father and a sole owner family aircraft that the CAA bureaucratic mountain is an expensive and irrelevant deterrent to what should be simple task of getting a PPL.VBR Stampe
